Consider these tips to help save money while keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider All of Your Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be used to going to the dealer for all of your car care needs. But if your current budget is tighter than it once was, now might be the time to consider an independent shop or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/mobile-mechanics-average-cost-services-plus-tips-on-auto-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"mobile mechanic service\">mobile mechanic service<\/a>, where you might get a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you always want to get a quality repair, so do your homework by reading online reviews to find a shop that&rsquo;s both affordable and dependable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do it Yourself (DIY) if Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some car care tasks that almost anyone can handle on their own. For example, on most vehicles (but not all), the engine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/air-filter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"air filter\">air filter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cabin-air-filter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cabin air filter\">cabin air filter<\/a> are both easy to replace. Now&rsquo;s the time to tackle those types of jobs yourself. If you&rsquo;re handy, you might even feel comfortable taking on more involved tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 1701126616\" class=\"wp-image-74752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1701126616-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>There are some car care tasks that almost anyone can handle on their own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look for Sales and Deals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether you&rsquo;re the DIY or do-it-for-me (DIFM) type, it never hurts to look for sales and deals. You can look for your business of choice to announce promotions via their website, email (if you&rsquo;ve joined the mailing list), social media&mdash;maybe even snail mail, depending on the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspect the Basics for Free <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two car care months&mdash;April and October&mdash;both of which are meant to prepare your car for the changing seasons. Obviously, you should be checking your vehicle throughout the year, but these two intervals are a reminder to inspect the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to inspections and general upkeep, there are many tasks you can do on your own for free without the need for special tools. For example, you&rsquo;ll want to check these items before winter rolls around:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Underhood fluids<\/li><li>Cabin and engine air filters<\/li><li>Tire condition and pressure<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/wiper-blade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wiper blades\">Wiper blades<\/a><\/li><li>Heater and air conditioning <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/headlight-bulb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Interior and exterior lights\">Interior and exterior lights<\/a><\/li><li>Belts and hoses<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re knowledgeable about automotive repair, there are additional maintenance items you can check yourself after safely raising and supporting the vehicle on a set of jack stands. Some examples include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/brake-discs-pads-and-calipers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Brakes\">Brakes<\/a><\/li><li>Under-vehicle fluids<\/li><li>Steering and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/shock-absorber-and-strut-assembly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"suspension\">suspension<\/a> components<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 1877676328\" class=\"wp-image-74758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1877676328-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>When it comes to inspections and general upkeep, there are many tasks you can do on your own for free without the need for special tools. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Up on Car Care Saves Money in the Long Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, times are tough, and it can be difficult to find the resources to take care of your car properly.
