Do you have any genuine tricks for keeping/maintaining a car that are frugal?
Could be anything from getting a deal on a car wash, or keeping the interior nice, or keeping the engine or tires or anything really in good order.
Also, are there any things you used to be able to do frugally with your car which has changed to be more expensive–maybe due to auto manufacturers changing how cars are designed?
(I’m asking this so if something used to be frugal but isn’t now, people speak up about it.)
Actually seeing the same thing with oil as well, I used to always change my oil for savings under this same ideology, then I started comparing the cost vs having it done at a auto place, outside of dealership level I’m paying just about the same amount AND having to do the work/effort to change it and get the oil disposed of. It just isn’t worth the hassle it seems anymore
