You asked for it, so here is my answer. I will try to keep it short for you. When it comes to their cars, most people do not want to spend money.

Fixing those oil leaks? Who cares about all the fish that die from ignoring it? You don’t see them so no biggie right? Now I just picked oil leaks out of the air and that doesn’t really apply to your question so I will use a different example. Imagine this, your check engine light comes on, you can do one of two things now – 1. Take it to Auto Zone where they hook up their code reader and find code P0300, cost so far = $0.

You drive back to Auto Zone and they check it
