The most expensive thing you will buy in your lifetime will be your home. The second most expensive thing you will buy in your lifetime is a new SUV, truck or car. What this means is that buying a car is a big deal and a decision that should not be taken lightly. It is also the reason why most people keep their cars and trucks for so many years. Buying a new car for most people means years of car payments. It isn't a bad thing that people have such long-term relationships with their cars, but there will come a time when you should move on. Groovy Automotive, your car repair service in Austin, offers these signs that you need to buy a new automobile.
If the stranded woman on the side of the road rejects your offer for a ride, it might be time to get a new car. Your car makes jerky motions that scare the passengers and the noises from the engine were once recorded on tape and used in a horror movie. Every time you fire up the engine to drive to work, you cross all of your fingers, say a few magic words and sacrifice a chicken in hopes that you won't suffer a breakdown yet again. This is a definitely sign you need a new automobile. Cars weren't built to last forever and there will come a time when your car becomes unsafe and unreliable. This is when you should get a new car.
Your car is making funny noises and it does funny things when driving it. You take it to your mechanic and you see the fear in their eyes. This is because your mechanic is stuck in this endless loop; they fix your car, knowing that any repairs they make will only hold out for a few months until something else breaks. While any mechanic appreciates repeat business, it's no fun having to fix a car that is obviously on its last leg (or wheel if you prefer). Besides, there comes a time when you should save the money you are spending on frequent repairs and apply it to the purchase of a new car.
If you pass out after you get a quote from your mechanic, then it could be a sign you need a new car. You take your car to another mechanic and the quote for repairs is even higher. In fact, the cost to repair your car is higher than the value of your car. If this is the case, then it makes sense to part with your old car and get something new.
You used to think your kids wanted you to drop them off six blocks from the school because kids are afraid of being embarrassed by their parents. But you were recently informed that the reason your kids want to get dropped off so far from school is that the car you drive is a huge source of embarrassment. It might be time to consider getting a new car.
If blue and black smoke pours from your exhaust when you drive down the road, you probably need a new car. Not only are you polluting the air and a huge distraction, but you are wreaking havoc on the people who wind up behind you.
If your check engine light has been on for, say, a few years, then it could be a sign that you need a new car. Warning lights on your dash shouldn't be considered neon accents; they are a sign that something is wrong with your car and it needs to be remedied. But if you find that no matter what repairs are done, the light keeps coming on, start saving up for a new car.
If you have a close relationship with the gas station attendant because you are there so often, it is likely a sign you need a new car. Poor fuel economy is a sign that you need a new car. Just think about the money you will save on gas when you buy a car that has good gas mileage. And when you buy your new car, keep in mind it still needs regular maintenance and oil changes. Bring it to Groovy Automotive for oil changes and maintenance.
