When it comes to maintaining a car, the costs can keep coming making it very difficult to keep on top of. So many people own cars and yet still do not realise the importance of regular services or oil changes as a minimum. If the car is new then you are probably more likely to keep up with a service schedule but as the car gets older and the miles start to clock up, many push maintenance back as more urgent problems need to be rectified.  You may have the view that an older car is not worth spending the money on but you then run the risk of running into more problems which can make the car unreliable and cost more in the long run.

The oil is usually changed at a service along with the filters and this can make a huge difference to the running of the vehicle. Many garages except that some people do not want to spend hundreds of pounds on an old car getting a full service done or simply do not have the funds to do some. This is why many garages now offer just oil and filter changes or mini services from as little as £40. This helps people who have limited funds, still ensure their car is being maintained.
