Price Points to Ponder

Unfortunately, the moving parts in your car wear down over time, and they will need to be replaced time and time again. This is a normal part of the preventative maintenance routine you should include with your yearly appointments.

Of course, this means spending some money to keep your vehicle in working order and get you home safely every day. Trust us when we say preventative maintenance is still much cheaper that a repair “after-the-fact.”
