Managing Car Expenses in an Economic Downturn : Servicing & Maintenance<\/span><\/h1>\n

With COVID-19 putting a dampener on everyone\u2019s plans for 2020, many Australians are looking for ways they can build a little nest egg for these uncertain times. Even with restrictions still in place for many communities across the country, Aussies still need to get to work, to the shops and to the doctor\u2019s. But with the need to social distance, many people are rethinking sharing space on public transport, instead taking to the road in their private vehicles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, a car that doesn\u2019t get looked after is a car that won\u2019t run – even during lockdown, you need to be keeping on top of your servicing. But with the average driver spending more than <\/span>$1500 a year on servicing<\/span><\/a> – with costs rising for European and high-performance vehicles – keeping your car in drivable condition can be an expensive process.\u00a0 Just because you\u2019re driving more doesn\u2019t mean that you have to be paying more to maintain your car.\u00a0 Finding ways to tighten the belt on servicing and maintenance costs is a sure fire way to boost your financial security and keep you feeling safe with those dollars in your pocket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing compares to the certainty of a fixed weekly cost, a new approach to ownership could cut your servicing costs while giving you all the benefits you already enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
