Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Skipping routine checks can turn a simple fix into a costly repair. A clogged fuel pump, for example, can cause sputtering and power loss, but testing it with a few tools often catches the issue early. Similarly, ignoring radiator warnings may lead to overheating and engine damage. By following a regular maintenance schedule—oil changes, brake inspections, coolant checks—you keep the car healthy and avoid surprise breakdowns.

We also break down the cost side of things. Want to know if a new radiator is worth it? Our cost guide compares OEM and aftermarket options, labor fees and how to stretch your budget. Knowing the price range helps you decide whether to DIY or let a shop handle it.
