Services - Vehicle Maintenance
If you’re old enough, you’ll remember an ad campaign
Purolator ran in the early 60’s. A slightly greasy mechanic crawled out from
under an old car with an undistinguishable part in his hand and in very serious
tones told you “you can pay me now, or you can pay me later.”
Of course, things have changed; mechanics don’t work on
your cars anymore, technicians do . . . and they make a lot more money! But that
advice today is every bit as sound as when Kennedy was president. Problems
don’t go away and they don’t get cheaper with time.
So, what to do? Keep it maintained! Say, for example,
that 2004 Hyundai Elantra pictured above is yours and has reached the 30,000
mile mark. Here is what Hyundai recommends:
Inspect:
|
Replace:
|
- A/C refrigerant

We know this because we use a very sophisticated software
program called ‘Mitchell On-Demand’ which gives us this info for any car on the
road today. It also gives us the time necessary to do the work. In this case,
that very expensive technician will need to invest 2.75 hours into your vehicle.
Here’s your choices:
- Do nothing and shorten your
vehicle’s life.
- Go to Hyundai and pay
$90.00/hr (x2.75= $247.50) plus parts.
- Come to Tyre Trak, enjoy our
$50.00 maintenance labor rate, V.I.P. oil change pricing, and fast, friendly
service.
Remember, you can pay us now or pay us later!
