DIY: Your Car?

It seems the cost of car servicing is driving people to reconsider the expense of servicing. Responsible car owners have always done it themselves to some extent checking fluid levels and keeping tyre pressures correct, but most drivers will probably have a winter service and a pre -mot service both of which can be costly and irritating if you can fix the problem yourself.

Halfords surveyed their customers and found 52% were considering changing their servicing habits, 15% just delaying the service and 6% doing the service themselves. Halfords have seen a 10% increase on the purchase of items such as wiper blades, car bulbs and batteries for maintaining your car. 20% on items such as nuts bolts washers and fuses. Whereas the first thought used to be i’ll just pop the car in for a service, to save money many have a look themselves first.

If you are competent at car maintenance then go for it but the AA warns caution for those who are not so sure as the result could be a breakdown. There is no harm in going one step further and finding yourself a car part from a scrap yard as car parts seem be extortionately priced when new.

Scrap yards offer you the chance to purchase a used but perfectly working part at a price that is much more affordable. While you may or may not be able to fit the part yourself you could save money on the parts part of your service bill.
