Speaker 1 (00:12):
I heard podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the free Heart app, Robin and Kids Now
with Coos the podcast. Alana in our newsroom has been
talking about this today. It's kind of a big story
and I understand it. The cost of living is forcing
(00:33):
drivers to not service their cars. A new report's been
released by the RACQ saying that up to a quarter
of Queenslanders are not actually it's a third. A third
of Queenslanders are not getting their cars service. I mean, look.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Because normally, because what do they say, It's normally like
six months or some of them are twelve months. But
generally at least every year you're supposed to get at service. Well,
there's a.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Little sticker on my car that says you need your
next service at this time. Yes, And then usually a
little thing will come up on my dash and I'll go, oh,
that just must mean it needs a service.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I mean, I'm the person to change a tire, don't judge.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Okay, now some of them, some cars, I will say,
do have a little service thing. It's not necessarily a
check engine warning light. I thought you were waiting for
like a major alarm well, I mean I could.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, I mean, and I've recently had this discussion with
my boys because obviously they're now young men and they
take care of their own stuff. And my eldest son,
literally his twenty fifth birthday this year, I paid for
the service of his car, right because it was so unsafe,
like his breaks that were like down to nothing, squeaking. Yeah,
And I mean it was a stupidly expensive thing to do. Yeah,
(01:50):
But I also am also the person that doesn't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Right, you don't service regularly, I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I do, I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Maybe, no, that's a no. I think I wonder whether
I know obviously cost of living makes a difference, but
for me, but it's an age thing as well. I
remember my second car. I had a miss Mitsubishi Forjerio,
and I did not service it because I was young
and stupid, and so I blew that I blew the
(02:20):
head gasket. Oh, because it ran out of oil. Okay,
because I didn't service it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
See this is your bad news story. Like, I know
that there are cars. I mean I had this ancient
it like a seventies car, and dat's in one twenty
y Yeah, that thing just went and went and went
and went and when service.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Those cars thrived on neglect though they were amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's a busy cult.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Another one. You couldn't kill it, Holden Verena. Yeah, yeah,
but those cars were good. The new cars now are
driving around our European things or Chinese things. They need service.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay, come on thirteen one o six five? How long
have you gone without a service on your car? I
mean this is a way to promote.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So I gave the word of warning that if you
don't service it you could blow your head gas five
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But if your car blew up, sure, sure, I don't
you know. Oh I'll have a chat to you too.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
But if you want to. Yeah, let's if you are
rolling the dice. How long is the streak, let's go
and what's the car? Thirty six five?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, like Toyota Corollas they go further.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Oh yeah, those things. That's another car that thrives on neglect. Yeah.

about fifty thousand k's after that service, and then it
just died and then wouldn't go anymore. And I sold
it for about eight hundred bucks at the.

at that point, one hundred and forty five without a
service at all.
