If you have recently passed your driving test and are ready to become travel independent and whack down the deposit on a car, welcome to the world of motoring. There is a high price to pay for the privilege of owning a car and with that in mind, here are a few tips to help keep your motoring costs down.
- Find a local garage – Costs for auto servicing can be horrendous and finding a cheap garage for MOT in Sandhurst should be a priority. They can handle all servicing and stamp the owner’s manual after each service, making sure you have a full service history.
- Used tyres – As you know, there is currently a trend for fat wheels, which means most tyre shops have a good selection of second-hand tyres at very affordable prices. This doesn’t mean you have to compromise on safety, the tyre shop would issue a warranty on all used and new tyres.
- Used cart parts – If you need a new radiator or water pump, why not check out your local car breaker’s yard where you will probably find what you need. Prices are around 60% lower than new components and the parts come from cars that have been scrapped as the result of an accident.
- Car insurance – The best way to source the cheapest car insurance is to search online and with a secure online payment, you are instantly covered. Of course, young drivers are subject to high premiums, but shopping around is likely to lead to a saving.
The good news is, as you get older and gain more experience, your insurance costs will drop and if you are like most young car owners, most of your disposable income is spent on improving your wheels.
