Q: Does preventative maintenance really pay off in the long run? - Chester
A: Hi Chester,
The short answer is yes. Let's take a closer look.
Take oil changes for example.
If your car has 100,000 miles on it, and assuming you got an oil change at the recommended intervals (every 5,000 miles) then you would have gotten 20 oil changes on your car. Now let's say you spent an average of $25 per oil change. That's $500 spent on oil changes.
If you were to go without oil changes during that period, your engine would likely be full of contaminants and eventually seize. Thick, dirty oil can't properly lubricate vital parts, leading to metal-on-metal friction. What's the average cost of an engine replacement? Around $4,000.
