Females remain reluctant to take responsibility when it comes to maintaining their car, new research has suggested.

According to a study conducted by Bosch Car Service, many women are still leaving this area of their lives to their male counterparts, as 30 per cent of the former sex indicated they take their own vehicle to be serviced in comparison to 70 per cent of the latter.

Meanwhile, 35 per cent of females indicated they did not feel confident about having a positive experience when it comes to car servicing, while this figure dropped to 24 per cent of men.

Howard Price, concept manager at the company, commented: "It is clear that there is still a feeling of discomfort amongst women drivers towards taking their cars in for a service, which could be why they are leaving it up to men."

This comes after Andrew Hagger of Moneynet observed that many drivers could be lying in order to get a better deal on their car insurance.
