10 Ways People Waste Money On Their Cars Every Day

6) Ignoring check engine and maintenance lights

There are different types of car owners. Some are obsessed with their cars and will keep them in impeccable shape. Some do the bare minimum of maintenance and others just want their cars to get them to their destination and back. In any case, it’s a good idea to heed the warning lights that appear on the dashboard. Even if you’re on a tight budget, it’s better to take your car to a mechanic to see what is wrong, rather than risk further damage, or safety, which may cost much more in the long run. Ignoring that little light and keeping your fingers crossed that your car doesn’t break down doesn’t always work out. Better safe than sorry as the saying goes.
