Answer:

Price and quantity both will increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Income affects the demand of consumers. Increase in the income increases the demand so the demand curve shifts upward. Similarly, if income decreases, the demand curve shifts downward due to a drop purchasing power. The upward shift in the demand will lead to an increase in the equilibrium price and an increase in the price will increase the quantity of auto maintenance.
