正文语种：	eng
摘要：	Take a look at the graphic to the right for the top five most common check engine light repairs. In 2021 car repair costs were up 3.6 percent overall, totaling just under $393 on average as the average vehicle age jumps to 12.1 years old and cars start to outlive their parts. Repair costs were up in all four regions of the U.S. in calendar year 2021, with drivers in the South and Northeast seeing the biggest spike - both up 3.7 percent. Labor costs ($143.35) were down half a percent, which CarMD partially attributes to more DIYers doing their own repairs and competition among auto repair shops. As projected by CarMD last year, parts costs ($249.22) were up six percent. Factors that played a role in this parts cost increase include supply chain issues coupled with an uptick in more expensive car parts failing as consumers hold onto their cars and trucks longer than ever before due to lack of new car inventory.
