Why does routine maintenance save you?
Read the examples below to see why it really does cost less in the
long run to keep up with your routine
maintenance schedule.
Failure versus Maintenance Costs
- Rotors and Brakes ~ $500
- Brakes ~ $100
- Radiator Replacement ~ $500
- Radiator Flush ~ $59
Every job is different, the above costs are
quotes from specific jobs and may not
apply to your car.
As you can see, the cost of regular
maintenance is only a fraction of the cost
of repairing system failures. Additionally,
you and your family's safety could be at
risk if your car was to break down.
This is especially important if you are
planning on taking road trips or vacations! |
