The uncertainty in the world today can present individuals and families with questions about how to manage finances. Some payments may be unavoidable as they are part of everyday life, but you can also get creative with things like car payments. The COVID-19 pandemic has made many people cautious about how they spend their money, especially since there is so much uncertainty as to whether it will come back for a second wave or not. DeBoer’s Auto wants to bring you a little peace of mind by offering simple tips for avoiding car payments in the long-term.
Buying a new vehicle during these times isn’t ideal for most people. Taking on new car payments commits you to long-term payments you don’t know if you can afford right now. An alternative to buying a new car is tuning up your existing car, no matter how old or banged up it is. Maintenance costs can be expensive, but they are much less expensive than a monthly car payment.
DeBoer’s Auto takes great pride in helping customers extend the life of their vehicle as long as they want to keep it. We can set up maintenance plans and schedules for you so you don’t have to remember when to make your next appointment. With our thorough preventive inspections, we can discover potential issues with your vehicle before you even notice them. This is how you can avoid those major repairs since we get ahead of the problem. Simply put, extending the life of your vehicle happens by having a regular maintenance schedule and the result is staying out of car payments.
We know how difficult it is to think about vehicle maintenance during these uncertain times. You may not be driving your vehicle as much now, but it is still important to stick to a regular maintenance schedule. When you contact us at DeBoer’s Auto, we can set you up with a stress-free maintenance plan so you won’t have to think about making your next appointment. The money you spend on maintenance is like putting money back in your pockets compared to having to spend it on repairs or a new vehicle.
