Proper car maintenance is a necessity. The price of both new and used cars is at an all-time high. Perform regular maintenance to extend the life of your car sounds easy enough. However, car repairs can be expensive. If you’ve ever asked yourself “how can I save on car repairs” these tips from CAP Towing will help.
Find a Reputable Repair Shop
If you don’t have the knowledge or tools needed to repair your own car, you will need a trustworthy repair shop. Charleston is home to a lot of car repair shops. Search Google and read what others have said about their experience with a repair shop you are considering. Customer reviews are invaluable.
Get Multiple Repair Estimates
Call ahead and see if the repair shop will provide you with a written estimate for the service your car needs. Call more than one auto repair shop. Compare the estimates you receive from each shop. Remember, cheaper isn’t always better.
Eliminate Duplicate Labor Charges
Sometimes a repair shop has to remove multiple car parts in order to fix a problem. Now is a good time to perform preventative maintenance. For example, a technician may need to remove radiator hoses to replace an alternator. These hoses are likely original to your car. If the hoses have never been changed, now would be a good time for doing so.
Fix Your Car Yourself
Do It Yourself (DIY) auto repairs are an easy way to save money. If you don’t have all of the tools needed auto parts stores like Advanced Auto or O’Reilly’s have programs where you can rent specialty tools for free. YouTube is a great resource of DIY projects.
