The best way to prevent auto repairs is to perform proper maintenance on your vehicle.
New Car Under-Warranty Maintenance: Some people are surprised to find they have options when it comes to the required maintenance of their new vehicle. According to the law, you can have your regular and required maintenance performed at any qualified shop. This means you don’t have to go back to the dealership for maintenance. Warranty repairs still need to the attention of the dealership though.
