Our recent research highlights a clear trend: car owners are increasingly turning to digital services to meet their everyday needs. Fast, transparent, and reliable solutions are no longer optional — they are becoming expectations in both driving and vehicle maintenance.

Key insights from our research

• 29% of drivers would like to approve repair quotes online, item by item.

• 26% don’t know who to turn to when their car breaks down.

• 37% expect repair shops to share photos of detected issues.

• 57% believe rewarding rule-abiding drivers could improve road safety.

• 76% consider quality more important than price when choosing a repair shop.

• 53% spend between HUF 100,000–300,000 (approx. €250–750) annually on maintenance and repairs.

These findings confirm that drivers not only value quality, but also demand transparency and trust throughout the service process.

The growing role of digital solutions

Our research shows that digital tools are increasingly meeting these needs:

• Online quote approvals and photo documentation of repairs build confidence and trust.

• Pick-up and drop-off services provide a new level of convenience.

• Mobile applications are gaining importance in both car servicing and parking, as users prefer fast, simple digital solutions over traditional ones.

Assistance for everyday challenges

Breakdowns, flat tires, and other issues are common pain points for drivers. According to our findings, there is strong demand for digital assistance services that provide real-time support. A well-designed app can:

• deliver immediate help,

• recommend reliable repair shops,

• and reduce the stress related to car breakdowns and maintenance.

What this means for the future

The results of our research point to a clear direction: the future of car services lies in digital, transparent, and user-friendly solutions. For service providers, this means that transparent communication, mobile-first services, and convenience-driven offerings are no longer optional extras — they are becoming fundamental expectations.

Those who embrace these changes early will not only win customer trust but also gain a sustainable competitive advantage in the evolving automotive services market.

The end of summer is not only about going back to school or work but also an important period for car owners to prepare their vehicles for the upcoming season. Hot weather, long holiday drives, and the arrival of autumn conditions all affect your car. Here are the key points drivers should pay attention to.

1. Tires

High temperatures and long motorway trips can wear out tires. At the end of summer, check:

• Tread depth (minimum 1.6 mm, but below 3 mm replacement is recommended for safety),

• Tire pressure (measured when cold),

• Damage (cracks, cuts, or embedded stones).

2. Brakes and Suspension

Mountain roads, heavy loads, and heat can put extra strain on the brakes. If you hear unusual noises, feel vibration on the pedal, or notice longer braking distances, have the brakes inspected. Suspension should also be checked, especially after driving on pothole-ridden or poor-quality roads during holidays.

3. Air Conditioning and Ventilation

The A/C system has worked hard all summer. It’s worth:

• Replacing the cabin (pollen) filter,

• Cleaning the system to prevent bacteria and mold,

• Checking refrigerant levels.

4. Battery

Heat can weaken the battery. Inspect the terminals, check charge levels, and make sure the car starts easily. A weakening battery may fail on cooler autumn mornings.

5. Fluid Levels

• Engine oil: Check the level, especially after long trips, and top up if necessary.

• Coolant: Vital in summer, ensure the level and condition are fine.

• Windscreen washer fluid: Start switching to an autumn/winter mix, as it works better against dew and dirt.

6. Lights and Visibility

With shorter days and frequent rain or fog, lighting is critical.

• Test all bulbs,

• Clean lamp covers,

• Adjust headlights if needed.

7. Bodywork and Windshield

Insects, bird droppings, and strong sunlight can damage paintwork. A thorough wash and a layer of wax will help protect it. Inspect the windshield for small cracks or chips, as these may spread quickly with temperature fluctuations.

Conclusion

The end of summer is the perfect time for a “mini maintenance check.” A quick inspection and preventive measures not only improve safety but also ensure that your car is ready for the challenges of autumn and winter driving.
