“In general, your
car insurance
won’t cover general maintenance, so if something’s broken due to normal wear and tear, you’re responsible for the costs of repair.

comprehensive car insurance
, if you have it, might cover the cost of a replacement if it’s named in your policy.
Check with your insurance provider to confirm the specifics.”
