Car owners cutting back on breakdown cover in favour of a risky DIY maintenance approach risk a bill of almost £200 in the event of a breakdown the latest industry figures have this week suggested.

And with figures showing that as many as 15% of car owners are thinking about reducing their car breakdown cover within the next year breakdown experts are concerned.

With finances tight the conventional wisdom has been to cut out all ‘excess expenses’ but the reality is that for the cost of a breakdown cover with a company like Rescue My Car can dwarf that of the real cost of a breakdown if it happens to you. And the winter period is when most of us experience car problems.

Problems actually caused by mistakes made by cash strapped motorists looking after their own cars have risen sharply already this autumn as the colder weather begins to expose any non professional maintenance work and with the average cost of towing a broken-down vehicle off the motorway now at least £150 and the price of skilled labour is currently averaging £90.61 per hour, the £40 breakdown cover policy is beginning to seem like very good value indeed.

And as our service at Rescue My Car just keeps on improving with more and more rescue vehicles joining our nationwide fleet each month we are more prepared than ever to fix your vehicle at the scene of the breakdown, which means that you can get away quicker and with less hassle.
