10 Ways People Waste Money On Their Cars Every Day

7) Simple car repairs

Paying someone to do basic repairs your vehicle needs occasionally can be a waste of money. It may seem convenient because of how busy you are, but most of the simpler car problems don’t require a certified mechanic to repair. In years past, many people were well versed in basic maintenance like changing oil, air filter, wiper blades, bulbs and fluids. However, this knowledge doesn’t necessarily hold true today. You can, however, learn how to do simple things that will, in the long run, save money. And if you’re in need of assistance, many online videos explain, in step by step fashion, how to complete these simple fixes. Second, don’t ever take your car to the dealer for simple repairs unless they are covered under a warranty. That is a sure-fire way to throw money away.
