Cheap maintenance bill for once
Sometimes it’s very beneficial to know how to do some relatively simple “advanced beginner” maintenance tasks on your own vehicle. Such as today when my rear brakes started squealing. I ran down to Pep Boys, picked up a new set of pads, and threw them on the car for a total cost of $27.18 and about an hour’s worth of labor. Good for another 30,000 miles.
Compare that to the tank of gas I got today that cost me $34.69, took about 5 minutes, and will be gone in 300 miles. Hmm.
