Cha-Ching! Servicing Your Car Makes Dollars and Sense
Look, we get it—nobody likes having to take their car to the shop for auto repair and maintenance. And the reluctance isn't unfounded.
Unfortunately, many people—including women—have unique mechanic horror stories. But this is where Girlington Garage! Our full-service auto repair shop was founded by women to ensure no woman (or anyone else) has to deal with unscrupulous auto repair facilities.
As experts in automotive repair solutions, we regularly educate our customers on the importance of having regular preventative maintenance and service. You're not doing yourself any favors by putting it off. Even cars that aren't driven often require regular maintenance so they'll be ready to go when you need them.Let's look at why it's so important to service your car and what can happen to it if you don't. If you need auto repair and maintenance, don't hesitate to contact Girlington Garage.
Regular Maintenance and Service Extends Your Car's Lifespan
The average new car now costs over $47,000. That's a lot of money! These days, cars last an average of 8 years or 150,000 miles, so you're likely to get your money's worth. But if you don't bring your vehicle in for regular service, it won't keep running for nearly that long. You can expect a neglected car to struggle to reach 100,000 miles. That's if you're lucky!When you consider that neglecting your car can rob it of a third of its useful life—over $15,000 worth of it, to be exact—a few inexpensive oil changes and service appointments don't seem so bad, right?
Regular Service Saves Money and Prevents Auto Repair
Another reason regular servicing is so critical is that it helps keep minor, inexpensive problems from turning into bigger, pricier repairs.For example, regular oil changes help to protect your car's engine from the punishment it takes while running. They're an awful lot cheaper than replacing your engine, which starts at an average of $4,000. And that's assuming your engine doesn't damage anything else in your car when it fails.
Your Car's Warranty Is Worthless Without Regular Service
All new cars and some used vehicles are equipped with warranties. These warranties can range in coverage, but they are designed to offer you protection and peace of mind for a certain amount of time or mileage.There's a catch (yep...there is always a catch). You must carry out regular maintenance on those systems according to the manufacturer's schedule. If you don't, your warranty is void. You could be on the hook for repairs if a major system fails.
