In spite of the best planning, sometimes necessary auto repairs give our customers unpleasant surprises. Surprises that could leave them financially strapped or without wheels. We know that you depend on your car for everything – most importantly, for your family, your job, your life. That’s why Good Works Auto Repair offers payment plans to our customers. Knowing how you’ll pay for unexpected auto repairs, whether it’s through your own savings or one of our payment options, will take the burden out of keeping your car on the road.
Budgeting For Auto Repairs
In a perfect world, you would always have enough cash on hand to cover everything your vehicle needs. In fact, financial experts recommend predicting your yearly auto repair expenses and working them into your household budget. Once you have a total, divide that into twelve payments, one for each month of the year. Pay yourself that payment each month and put it aside into a savings account. When the need for auto repairs arises, use that money to cover the expense.
That all sounds simple enough, but will this process cover everything? The simple answer is, no. The car repair fund in your budget will typically handle predictable expenses. These often include preventative maintenance services like oil changes and tire rotations. It won’t usually be enough to cover larger expenses, such as a failed transmission. When your savings or monthly budget simply isn’t enough, it may be time to look at other options. Rather than paying for everything all at once, you may be able to take advantage of one of our payment plans.
