A Few Things You Can Do to Reduce Car Repair Costs
There are many things that come into play when considering car repair cost, and this is by no means an exhaustive list of the things you can do to help manage or reduce car repair costs. However, here are a few of the top things:
- Oil Changes: Oil is perhaps the most important fluid in your car. It lubricates, protects, cleans, and cools your engine. However, over time, friction and heat will cause the oil to become "dirty" and it will lose its effectiveness in protecting your engine. Check your vehicle’s manual to know how often you should be changing the oil and schedule regular oil changes as needed.
- Spark Plug Replacement: These little lightning bolts make your car go! Weak or bad spark plugs can lead to misfires in your engine, reduced engine performance, and lower fuel economy. Most of the time it is recommended that you change your plugs at least once a year to help prevent unnecessary car repair costs.
- Filter Replacement: There are a multitude of filters to take care of and doing so will help keep your car in top-notch performance. The purpose of air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters are to keep tiny particles out of your engine. Inspecting and changing filters regularly helps protect the engine, improves efficiency, and helps keep car repairs cost down by keeping your vehicle out of the shop.
