At Mastermind Enterprises we believe the best way to avoid expensive auto repairs is -
to keep up with regular scheduled maintenance.
Most auto owners change their car's oil every 3,000 miles or so, but overlook or are unaware of some important areas of their car's needs. In fact, the most expensive maintenance task is an oil change. At around $35 every 3,000 miles you would spend $350 in oil changes for every 30,000 miles. On the other hand, a transmission service is around $175 and should be done every 30,000 miles. That is only half of what your costs are for oil changes in the same time frame.
Most cars and light trucks have maintenance schedules in the owners manual, but they vary little between makes or models, most often operator use is the obvious variable. Extreme driving conditions such as starting and stopping, in-town use or towing are examples that require maintenance needs more often than average or normal use.
Weather and temperature are also a big concern. Living in Colorado, most vehicles are driven in extreme cold and hot conditions. In January, at below-zero when you start your engine, consider this, all fluids are at or below 0 degrees. During operation oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant and differential fluid temperatures rise quickly causing breakdown of additives that turn into harmful varnish or sludge deposits. Now, imagine doing this every day and think of the heat cycles your car or truck goes through (thousands).
Most maintenance items are under $150, that's a lot cheaper than the average auto repair. Let the professionals at Mastermind Enterprises go over or recommend what maintenance items your car needs most.
