More than ever before people are seeking out cost-cutting, creative ways to lower the family's budget. If you’re looking for ways to make the most of your monthly allotment, keep in mind that many car dealers offer oil changes and other routine maintenance at reduced rates to entice customers. Though you may not find many coupons for car repairs in your weekly circular, talk to your dealer about special programs they’re offering that can save you a buck or two.

Being proactive with your car’s maintenance, and having your dealer’s skilled mechanics fix problems before they get worse, can result in huge savings down the road. Why pay the neighborhood mechanic an hourly wage when the tech who’s working on your vehicle may have very little experience? Your dealer’s mechanics can repair your vehicle correctly and quickly the first time you bring it in. If you’re hoping to save on current and future car expenses – while keeping your budget in check — get your vehicle to your dealer, where your car’s longevity and safety are the top priority.
