 Auto repair is not going to get cheaper. If you want less expensive auto repair, the way to do that is maintain your vehicle. Do your oil changes at the recommended levels. Rotate your tires. Get your transmission flushed. Get your power steering flushed. Get your coolant flushed. Get your brake flushed. Your car will break down less. Think about it. When was the last time you had an alternator replaced? We used to have racks of alternators in the shops, you know, and we just, you know, starters and alternators, they constantly went on. You just don't replace them anymore.
