Ask most car owners when they last took their car in to the shop and you’re liable to get a mix of answers, many related to not wanting to bring the car in at all. Route 20 Auto Essentials understands that reluctance, and has some information about getting past it.
Repair Cost Anxiety
If you’ve ever put off taking your car to the shop because you’re worried about how much the repairs are going to cost, you’re not alone. Cars are expensive to own and to operate, but they’re also necessary in today’s modern age. The good news is that repairs may not be as expensive as you fear and we have lots of options for helping you to afford what your car needs. Also, keep in mind that routine maintenance saves you money over time.
Anxiety about What’s Wrong
The other half of the anxiety coin is often worry about what is actually wrong with the car. Most people aren’t mechanics in their spare time, right? So, it’s scary sometimes to see something like a check engine light that seems like it would only mean catastrophic engine failure. In reality, the problem might be a lot smaller, but you don’t know until you take your car in.
Lack of Information about What Services Do
So many services don’t seem “necessary” to the average car owner. It helps when you understand that something like wheel alignments doesn’t just protect your car’s tires, but it also improves gas mileage and reduces wear and tear on the engine. When you’ve got that information, wheel alignments are a valuable and necessary service, not just something else that you have to spend money on for your car.
Time Spent Waiting
Finally, another scary aspect of taking your car in to the shop is that you don’t know how long it will take to get repairs or services done. That’s understandable, especially when you’re busy. Respecting your time is important for us, and that’s why we have options that help you to get your most important tasks handled for the day while we work on making sure your car is safe and ready to go.
