Advantages and disadvantages of Start & Stop

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we hear an authoritative opinion from a well-known YouTuber, a mechanic with a large following, who gives us his opinion on the function of Start & Stop on modern cars: in fact, it provides great help in terms of CO2 emissions.
