30% OF CAR OWNERS NOT REPAIRING PAINT WORK
A recent YouGov survey, commissioned by Car Paint Colours, revealed that the condition of British vehicles is poor, with cost and convenience cited as major factors. One-third of car owners did not pursue small paint repairs in the past year, even though their cars needed it.
Among those who didn’t repair cosmetic damage, 56% found it too expensive, and 25% deemed it inconvenient. Interestingly, 24% of owners expressed a willingness to attempt repairs themselves, while 48% preferred professional body shops. The survey also highlighted those drivers aged 18-24 and 55+ reported fewer scuffs compared to millennials, with 38% of the former groups needing repairs versus 43% of those aged 25-44.
