I keep up with oil changes, etc as much as I can (read: husband), but sometimes the car just insists on going to the Dealer. I don't think I've ever walked out of there under $1200. Really happy that car is paid for though! The Yuppie Wagon (read: Volvo) is a bear on yearly maintenance.

Len's Auto Repair in Overland, MO is where I take my vehicle. Of course, he might not be close to you, but finding one that is is the way to drastically reduce your maintenance costs. Also, doing simple car repairs yourself (changing the battery, wiper blades, headlights, tail lights, etc.) can also save you a ton of "car mechanic units."

The only reason I don't have to shell out very many "car mechanic units" is because I know a couple of mechanics who do a good job cheap, and since they know my mom, they even cut me deals on top of it. The one time I didn't go to them I ended up shelling out $600 for a tune up and oil change. o.O Joanas last blog post...<a href="http://nanashi-inc.net/weblog/2008/this-really-isnt-fair/" rel="nofollow">This Really Isn’t Fair</a> Ugh.
