Great Cheap Auto Repair Tips  
HOW TO User Created List

Tags: savings, money, car repairs

Repairing a car does not have to be expensive. Here are a few tips to help you save on auto repairs.

1. The most important cheap auto repair tip is to keep your vehicle up to date on all maintenance. By doing this you are extending the life of your vehicle by keeping it in good shape, and this will also lower the frequency of major repairs.
2. For oil changes, it is often best to go to smaller local shops than national chains. The national chains tend to have higher prices, less skilled employees, and poor customer service. The smaller local shops can likely give you a much better deal on most things, as their prices are not set at the national level.
3. If one of your headlights goes out, changing it yourself is relatively easy in most cars. Look inside of your repair manual and it should tell you have to complete the change. Be careful to not touch the bulb with your hand while installing it and it will last much longer. When you touch the bulb oil from your hand is transferred to the glass, which will then heat up and damage or crack the glass.
4. Most people assume that changing the break pads is a daunting task, especially since it takes most auto repair shops several hours to complete them in most places. This is, however, not true. The only tools you need for this job are the jack that came with your car for changing tires, the wrench for changing tires, and a crescent wrench for loosening the calipers on your breaks.
5. Always shop around for auto repairs and parts. Some companies make their money by overcharging people who are unaware of the costs elsewhere. This is also probably one of the best cheap auto repair tips.
6. If a major problem occurs with your vehicle and you are unsure how to fix it, do not attempt to complete the repair by yourself. This could end up costing you thousands of dollars if you accidentally mess something up while tinkering under your hood.
