How much does it cost to get your car serviced?

How much does it cost to get your car serviced? I want to keep my car in good shape so it lasts longer, but I don't want to have to pay a bunch of money for basic maintenance.

It’s great that you’re trying to establish a
basic car maintenance schedule
!
The final price of the service will depend on the make and model of car and how often you drive it, but often your maintenance bills will be less than $100 per year. Different cars will require different things, but here are some services that most vehicles will need periodically:
  • An oil change, which usually costs $35 to $75 per year
  • Tire rotation or replacement, which can cost anywhere from $40 to $500
  • Windshield wiper replacement, which can cost $26 to $90
  • Brake pad replacement
    , which usually costs $150 per axel, or $300 total. This won’t be an annual cost, but you should usually replace them every 10,000 to 20,000 miles.
