New research: States where mechanics are most in demand

Wyoming is third

Posted

New research has revealed that Wyoming is the third state most in need of a mechanic.

The study by extended warranty experts FindTheBestCarPrice.com analyzed Google Trends to discover search levels for terms related to car problems, such as “auto repair” and “mechanic near me.”

It found that Maine tops the list followed by the home of the Motor City itself, Michigan.

Wyoming ranks for its high frequency of searches for mechanics, and also has America’s 10th highest percentage of people who travel to work by car, with 84.95% either commuting alone or in a car pool.

“America is a nation of car lovers, and so many people rely on their automobiles in various aspects of their lives, whether for work or leisure,” a spokesperson for FindTheBestCarPrice.com said. “Buying a car is one of the biggest purchases someone can make, so it’s always important to consider the benefits of an extended warranty when doing so. Regular driving only increases the chances of repairs being necessary, so a good warranty is extremely valuable as it provides the peace of mind that you are covered in the event of problems with your car.”

The latest statistics from the Federal Highway Administration indicate there are 105,135,300 cars in the United States, while 68.96% of people across the nation drive to work alone, with a further 7.88% choosing to carpool. In total more than three quarters of the working population (76.84%) use a car to get to their job.

The research was carried out by FindTheBestCarPrice.com, which is made up of a team of auto industry experts who curate incentives across all car brands, and are dedicated to sharing new deals along with their top picks each month as soon as they come out.
