FMOOD 0044: Vehicle Maintenance Tips - a podcast by Tom Merlino | Tom is inviting you to follow him on his journey to get out of debt and get into prosperity.

What is the best way for us to save some money on what is typically an otherwise expensive line item in our budget? The answer is properly maintaining our vehicles. If you're currently making car payments, you already know that vehicles can be expensive. Even if your vehicle is paid in full (good for you!), you still want that vehicle to last as long as possible. The best way to do this is to schedule regular maintenance for your vehicle in order to avoid costly repairs in the future.

 

The first step is to find a good, honest mechanic. If you don't know of one, ping your contacts on Facebook and ask for recommendations. Chances are, someone you know likely knows of a great mechanic. The next step is to schedule routine oil changes. Along with this, allow the mechanic to check your air filter as well to ensure that it's not clogged. Your cooling system is also important to maintain as well as regularly checking your tire pressure. The best habit to get into is to check your tire pressure whenever you stop for fuel.

 

Doing these basic maintenance steps along with a couple of others mentioned on this episode will help to extend the life of your vehicle, and the longer you can drive the same reliable vehicle, the less you'll be spending overall on transportation costs. The less you spend on transportation, the more that you'll have to apply towards other budget line items every month, including paying off debt.
