How do YOU minimize your car repair/maintenance costs?

[Rich Spirit]

what type of cars do you all drive?

Find a good mechanic by the part yourself
Let them do it for you

Dealerships are horrible

My car's new but when that warranty runs out I still have my dad and/or a family friend who repairs cars.

Do most of the basic maintaining myself. Big stuff like the clutch job I just had done..I take to the same mechanic I've been going to since I started driving.
