Motus automotive data (captured and analyzed across the world’s largest retained pool of drivers) helps the company keep a pulse on industry trends. Motus today shared insights around how not servicing a vehicle regularly as a result of COVID has led to increased maintenance issues, including:
- Battery replacements—these have increased more than 180% over pre-pandemic levels
- Vehicles not starting – reports of vehicles not starting due to an unknown issue have increased by 15% since March
- Premature brake wear – when a vehicle sits idle, rust can develop on brake rotors and cause damage to other brake components
