Out-of-warranty car repairs and service centres
Beat the high cost of servicing your “out-of-warranty or motor-plan” vehicle
Do you stick to servicing your vehicle regularly? Does it happen – as it so usually tend to do – that prior to a service interval, some other financial strain crosses your path? The lawnmower decides to part this world, an unexpected school tour takes a bite out of your budget, or a falling tree damaged your roof! These things do happen, yet you still have to service your vehicle.
An out-of-warranty service may be a costly exercise and you may feel that your service costs are going to cover the service costs of other vehicles serviced under a service plan. You may wonder:
Do I have an alternative?
You surely do. You can go to that service shop behind the fuel station. Before you do that, ask yourself the question if they will have all the modern diagnostic equipment, the right oil and the right set of tools to loosen, tighten and tune everything to specifications on your modern bakkie, SUV, vehicle or station wagon. What if something negligent happens with your vehicle, will they have the capital and character to fix what they have done wrong?
