Repairs?
Oh No! |

Repairs are the unexpected items that have to be fixed. Anything that wears out routinely in your car is considered maintenance, other items are repairs. some examples are:
Oil
leaks from seals and gaskets |
Injectors Coil packs Bent wheels and Alignment Head gaskets Coolant leaks |
Blend
door / Heater core |

Maintenance is a good hedge against repairs, but no guarantee. Repairs can be the result of ignored maintenance, or simply a weak part that wore out or broke. I've seen cars break just from sitting. Fuel pumps gum up after sitting a few months. Batteries die after a couple of months because many of the computers draw power for memory, even if the car is off.
How much do repairs cost? Here are some examples of our most frequent repairs. There are more frequent repairs than these, but the labor may vary so widely from model to model that posting an estimate may be troublesome.
