AutoMd.com recently released its list of the Top Ten Auto Repair Jobs for 2013. Standard wear and tear jobs dominated, and other cyclical repair jobs, such as Alternator, Water Pump, Timing Belt and Spark Plug replacement rounded out the list, but Brake Pad replacement came in at number one. The company also looked at the average age of the top ten most repaired vehicles, which came in at 11 years.
Brian Hafer, VP Marketing at AutoMD.com commented on the list stating “This Top Ten list is continuing evidence that consumers are holding and repairing their vehicles, and that the vehicles they are driving are lasting and serving their owners well, the most researched repair estimates are for parts that have a shorter life span than most of today’s vehicles, and certainly than the average age of the top ten most repaired vehicles, which was 11 years.”
