IS YOUR CAR WORTH FIXING?

When you’re faced with big repairs, it’s common to wonder “Should I just buy a new car instead?” While it’s not always feasible for everyone to buy a new car, there are some situations where it’s absolutely worth it.

Repairs Are Too Expensive – If recent repairs on your vehicle are racking up too quickly for you to recover financially, or the cost of the current repair is more than half of your car’s current value, it might be time to invest in a newer vehicle.

You Want More Features – Newer models often feature some innovative safety and convenience features that you can’t get with your current model.

You’re Getting Stranded – If the current problems with your vehicle are leaving you stranded on the side of the road, it may be time to consider a newer model.

If you decide you want to give your car another chance, our experts will help you figure out the next steps to replace damaged parts.

SIGNS YOUR CAR NEEDS SERVICE

If you notice any of these issues, it’s usually a sign of a problem. In that case, contact your mechanic to learn more about what’s wrong, and how to fix it.

Warning Lights – Your dash has a set of lights to help notify you of potential problems. Your user manual will tell you more.

Poor Performance – Pulling while steering, difficulty braking, and issues with starting the vehicle are all signs of a bigger problem.

Rough Driving – Shuddering while accelerating or an usually bumpy ride (even while on smooth roads) are often signs of suspension or tire issues.

While these are often great indicators that your car needs service, you may not even be aware that there is a problem until you take your car in. This is why regular inspections are so important for proper auto care.

CAR PARTS THAT WEAR OUT MORE OFTEN

While virtually any part of your vehicle could become damaged and need to be replaced, there are car parts that need replacing more often.

Oil and filter
Water pump
Battery
Wiper blades
Lights
Engine air filter
Fuel pump
Spark plugs
Belts
Hoses
Alternator

If you consult your user manual, you will likely see a list of suggested time frames for inspections. Using this as a guideline can prevent these parts from failing before you can get off the road.

THE BENEFITS OF REPLACING WORN OUT OR DAMAGED PARTS

PERFORMANCE

Replacing worn out or damaged parts can help your vehicle continue to run smoothly and prevent additional performance issues caused by worn out parts.

SAFETY

Keeping your vehicle working properly is dependent on many high quality parts working together. If a damaged part is allowed to wear down to the point of breaking, it can cause safety issues for you, your passengers, and others on the road.

SAVINGS

By replacing damaged parts before they become worn down, you can prevent additional, more expensive damage to your vehicle. This can help you spend less money on your car overall.

HOW TO PREVENT WORN OUT OR DAMAGED PARTS

Regular Inspections – By inspecting your vehicle at least once per month, you can prevent damaged parts from getting worse.

Scheduled Maintenance – Every time you get an oil change or perform other regular maintenance, ask your mechanic to perform a multi-point inspection to catch any hidden issues.

Auto Shop Partnership – Teaming up with a trustworthy auto service provider will give you access to valuable resources to help you keep your car in good condition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does replacing car parts cost?

The cost for replacing worn or damaged parts can range anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand. The final price depends on the part to be replaced and the make and model of your vehicle. It also depends on the policies of the individual shop.

How long does it take to replace worn out or damaged car parts?

Most part replacement services take anywhere from an hour to several hours. It all depends on what needs to be replaced. You may have to wait longer depending on the waitlist at the shop you choose.

How do I maintain my vehicle after a part replacement?

To maintain your vehicle after getting a part replaced be sure to schedule regular maintenance and get regular inspections. It is also a good idea to drive more carefully to avoid over-stressing certain parts such as brakes or steering. Partnering with a trusted auto service center will also ensure you have the support you need if something goes wrong.

At what point is a vehicle not worth repairing?

The general rule of thumb is, if the cost of the repair is more than half of the current value of your vehicle, it may be better to replace your vehicle. Other considerations include whether or not the recent problems have been leaving you stranded and whether it would be better for your finances and lifestyle to have a more reliable vehicle. Ultimately, you need to make the decision that is right for you.
