Drivers in Texas are turning to alternative car repairs as costs rise, CBS News reported in a video segment. The segment, by Mark Strassman, examines one such alternative, according to the outlet's summary of the report.
CBS News said gas prices are climbing and that new cars cost more than $50,000 on average. The outlet tied those conditions to drivers who are looking to keep their older vehicles on the road longer.
The outlet also said that mom-and-pop garages are "becoming harder to find" and that dealership repairs can be expensive. The summary presents both points as part of the repair picture facing drivers in the state.
The summary describes the alternative only as an option that Strassman reports on and does not name it. It does not give specific repair prices, gas price levels, or the names and locations of any garages or drivers featured in the segment, so those details cannot be confirmed from the source.
The summary also does not say how many drivers are involved or which parts of Texas the segment covers. The video page carries the headline "Drivers in Texas turn to alternative car repairs as costs rise."
Because the material reviewed for this story is a single short summary, this account is limited to what that summary states. The full video report is available from CBS News.
