How to keep the number down
- Do fluid changes on time — they are the cheapest thing you will ever buy.
- Buy your own parts and pay for labour only; parts markups at shops are typically 30–100%.
- Fix small leaks and worn bushings before they take out something expensive.
- Keep records — a documented service history is worth real money at resale.
