Unpopular opinion: Maintenance is far cheaper than the resulting repairs.
Yes, but even on maintained cars, things still happen
True. But even more (expensive) things break on unmaintained vehicles.
Everything breaks down. It's called entropy.
That's deep.
That's what your mom said!
Not unpopular, but as a mechanic, rubber, bushing, ball joint, and sensor, all usually cannot be maintained, will broke eventually.
That's why I phrased it the way I did, "resulting repairs". No amount of maintenance will prevent anything from breaking. But no maintenance greatly increases the likelihood of something failing because of that neglect.
