The number one cause of car breakdowns in Australia revealed

By

-

BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — There are few things as frustrating as an untimely breakdown when you’re in a hurry.

Now, a recent survey has shed light on the reasons cars require  Roadside Assistance. 

Almost half (48%) of Australians who took part in a Budget Direct Roadside Assistance survey said they had been stopped in their tracks by a flat battery.

Other common reasons for ‘going nowhere’ were mechanical failure and flat tyre (both 33%), running out of fuel (9%), and being locked out of your car (8%).

The good news is the number of mechanical breakdowns seems to be slowing down, with a 6% drop in two years.

A Budget Direct spokesperson said the decrease suggested more drivers could be doing basic maintenance on their cars.

“Simple things, like checking oil, coolant levels and tyre pressure between services doesn’t take long but could save a lot of hassle and money down the track,” said the Budget Direct spokesperson.

Jez Spinks, of independent car review website Chasing Cars, shared simple techniques to keep your motor running.

  • Stay on top of regular servicing to be aware of possible technical malfunctions
  • Replace your car battery every one to five years as necessary
  • Check up on your tyre pressure every six months
  • Refuel your vehicle in the last quarter of the tank
  • Keep a spare tyre in the trunk of your car
  • Learn how to comfortably change a flat tyre 

“38% of Australians are comfortable or extremely comfortable changing a tyre,” Mr Spinks said.

“But the flip side is that 47% of us are uncomfortable or extremely uncomfortable.”

Age apparently breeds experience in tyre-changing technique.

One quarter of people aged between 58 and 62 were extremely comfortable.

33-42 year-olds were least likely to be extremely comfortable (7%).

In the battle of the states, West Australians were most confident changing tyres, with 50% comfortable or extremely comfortable.

“At the end of the day, these figures show you just never know when your car will breakdown. We’d urge Australians to invest in roadside assistance.”

Budget Direct’s Roadside Assistance covers flat batteries, minor mechanical or electrical faults, flat tyres, locked or lost keys and an empty fuel tank that needs emergency fuel (subject to T&Cs).

It could come in handy, particularly when you consider that 31% of respondents admit to losing or locking their keys in the car at least once.

DISCLAIMER

Budget Direct offers Roadside Assistance which is arranged by Auto & General Services Pty Limited (ACN 003 617 909).

Since beginning its overseas fruit sourcing in 2012, BGY Fruits has established direct procurement partnerships with over 800 premium fruit farms across 26 countries, covering nearly 1,000 fruit varieties. This extensive global sourcing has significantly enriched the domestic fruit supply and effectively filled seasonal gaps in the local market.

In recent years, the fruit supply landscape has undergone significant structural adjustments. Domestic alternatives to imported fruits—such as blueberries, durians, and passion fruits—have become increasingly prominent. At the same time, recognition of Chinese-grown fruits in international markets continues to rise, driving ongoing optimization in import and export structures.

In response to these market trends, BGY Fruits established its International Export Division to promote high-quality fruits sourced from both domestic and international origins to overseas markets, expanding and strengthening its B2B export operations. Signature products such as Liangzhi apples, Naihuang apricots, and the company’s exclusive variety of fresh purple passion fruit (Jindu No. 3) have already been introduced and are selling well in several Southeast Asian countries.

BGY Fruits’s subsidiary, Haiyang Jin Chengtai, has consistently exported premium Chinese fruits—including apples, pears, and citrus—to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and North America, allowing global consumers to enjoy the best of China’s fruit harvests. According to a company representative, Jin Chengtai’s export sales reached nearly RMB 300 million in 2024.

Zhu Qidong, Executive Vice President of BGY Fruits Group, Chief Supply Chain Officer, President of the B2B and International Business Division, and President of the Category Brand Division, revealed that the domestic B2B business has been a key strategic focus for BGY Fruits in 2024. Leveraging its core strength in high-quality fruit supply chain management, the company has significantly expanded into supermarkets, emerging retail channels, and large-scale distribution markets.

In addition, BGY Fruits has collaborated with leading domestic enterprises, provincial-level trade unions, and key strategic partners to jointly develop innovative fruit products and diversify its category offerings. The company has also engaged in fruit contract processing services for fresh food enterprises and launched digital fruit gift cards for online distribution.

These initiatives have driven strong growth in BGY Fruits’s domestic B2B segment. From January to July alone, wholesale business sales reached RMB 522 million.

Brand development is essential to the long-term growth of the fruit industry. In addition to building a competitive retail brand, BGY Fruits is actively advancing its category brand strategy. At the exhibition, Zhu Qidong noted that BGY Fruits has established a dedicated Category Brand Division to lead this effort. By taking an organized and systematic approach, the company aims to integrate resources across the value chain and ensure the effective execution of its category branding strategy.

Currently, BGY Fruits is leveraging its ecosystem partnerships to establish specialized companies focused on specific fruit categories, including apples, watermelons, and pineapples. In the future, this model will be replicated to build category-brand companies for imported fruits as well.
