Car Maintenance Costs as Part of Your Transportation Budget

Buying a car is not the end of your responsibilities.  You should budget “put the car and shape and car maintenance” into your monthly and yearly household budgets.  In that way you are almost guaranteeing yourself a reliable good running vehicle.  Of course the procedures, routines and demands will vary from vehicle to vehicle – brand of auto to brand of auto, model and type of vehicle – car, truck or SUV.

For example on your list can be:

Oil Changes

Transmission maintenance and fluid changes – often if not always – the transmission of any vehicle is the unsung , un cared and maintained for mechanical component that is not only not maintained for in any manner but also among the most essential and taken for granted.  Maintaining your transmission is often the cheapest hedge against major repairs in the lifespan of your transportation

3) Four new premium shock absorbers.  Not only are these a relatively small investment but will give you a ride that is almost as good as new

5) Flush and fill radiator.  This should be done every two years at the least

Especially in the cold Winnipeg, Manitoba climate this can be a godsend.  How else do you expect to have proper heat from your car heater in the dead cold prairie winter?
