Top 4 Major Car Repairs

No matter how we care for our car, the day will come that a bad day will happen and we need to do some repairs. Sometimes the worst case happens when you have to have a major repair. Because we love our car so much, we will fix it and do the repair but it’s so expensive.

To give you a quick list, here are major car problem and repairs.

• A worn out or blown engine

  What car runs without an engine? Every car needs one. For you to run your car you need a fully functional engine. An engines performance is measured by mileage not commonly by age or type. It is suggested that if your car already run more than 150000 miles it is good to rest. A new car engine may range up to $1000 to $4000 depending on the engine model. Furthermore, engine parts are generally expensive and salvage yards are considered to be a good alternative.

• The suspension and steering system

  This is what ensures a smooth ride in a vehicle and helps the driver manage the car. When the suspension or steering system isn’t working properly it can be very dangerous. The steering and transmission system ranges from $250 to $500.

• The transmission

  For many people when their car’s transmission stops working it’s the most stressful. A car can’t function at all when there’s a significant problem with the transmission. Usually, transmission is caused by old transmission fluid which is commonly ignored. Transmission issues may cause you a major $2000 to $3500 for replacement. Ouch!

• The heating and air conditioning system

  Many times when these systems malfunction, car owners will get a hold of replacing them because they are so expensive. The price for a new compressor varies between $200 and $600 which depends on your brand and model, the repair shop you seeks help with, and of course, the cause of malfunction. But as we all know, not having these systems can make your driving journey uncomfortable as these systems provides cooling and heating depending on the weather condition of the outside environment.

If your car needs any of these replacement parts, it’s often best to find used options. Used car parts mean you can enjoy reliability and quality, but with a lower price tag than you’ll find with new car parts.
