You’ve already planned your Thanksgiving trip to join your family for the holiday weekend. The only thing you haven’t planned is vehicle service, which is overdue. You worry about getting the work done; finances are tight. J&S Auto Repair does not want you to let financial problems get in the way. Driving your vehicle without the service is not only dangerous but will also cost you more money in the end.
Things That Can Go Wrong
Thanksgiving roads are crowded all weekend long. Drivers are tired, cranky, in a rush, and often careless. You need to rely on your car to keep you safe amongst the millions of other drivers. One way to do this is to maintain your automobile. If the factory-scheduled services are overdue, you may
- Get into an automobile accident due to brake failure
- Lose control of your vehicle because of a blown-out tire
- Get stranded roadside because your engine’s overheating
- Get stranded at a rest stop because your battery is dead
- Have engine performance trouble throughout the trip
- Seriously damage your engine because of dirty oil
We know this sounds very dramatic, but we’re honest. Little things, such as ignoring oil changes, can literally destroy your engine. Depending on how far your Thanksgiving weekend drive is, you’re going to be putting a lot of miles on your car. It needs to be serviced before you leave to protect it.
Financing Auto Repairs
The holiday season is never a good time to finance anything, but it costs a lot less to maintain your vehicle than it does to repair it. If you need an auto service done before Thanksgiving weekend, consider some financing options to help pay for preventative maintenance. Such options include
- A personal bank loan for those with stellar credit
- Using a low-interest credit card or line of credit
- Taking out a payday loan for those with poor credit
- Taking out a title loan, again, for those with poor credit
- Borrowing the money from a family member or friend
- Finding an auto shop that offers financing options
Now, Credit Karma warns that some of the suggestions above are not always a good idea. Auto repair financing options for poor credit people tend to come with high-interest rates and unfair, often impossible payback terms. You don’t want to get in a pickle, which is why the last option might be best.
