You’ve done a good job making your down payment, making regular payments, insurance payments and preventative maintenance payments. We all know that having some money set aside for major auto repairs is a good idea, but sometimes, it just isn’t possible. The reality is that saving hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars for unexpected repairs is not always possible.
Expensive Auto Repairs Don’t Wait for You
The unfortunate part of all of this is that those costly breakdowns and auto repairs don’t wait for you. They don’t wait for it to be a convenient time. And to be honest, no one wants to be told that they should have prepared for the cost either.
The Cost of Major Repairs
The overall cost of some common and major auto repairs may really shock you. The average hourly labor rate these days is usually between $80-$110 alone – not to mention the rest of the cost of the work and parts.
