| HQ Automotive...Making a Difference |
The other day I was wondering how I can explain to you in a meaningful way the difference
between taking your vehicle to HQ Automotive and someplace else. How can you tell if it's
worth it to you? It so happened there were two vehicles in the shop this day I thought would
be a good "test" if my claims are true. These vehicles were both from regular customers. In
fact, HQ Automotive is the only place any work has ever been done to them except for any
repairs that were made while under the manufacturers warranty (In most cases HQ
Automotive can make your extended warranty repairs). It occurred to me these vehicles
would be a good test because not only is HQ Automotive the only place they have had any
repairs, but also the customers have followed my advice as to what to maintain and when
(tires, batteries, brakes, filters, etc, you name it). One of the vehicles was only a few years old
and had just under 50,000 miles. The other vehicle was several years old and had about
130,000 miles. When I added up all the maintenance and repair costs, (everything they had
spent money on to operate their vehicle except the taxes, insurance, and gas) I found the
vehicle with 50,000 miles had cost 1.7 cents per mile ($.017/mile). The older vehicle with
130,000 miles was almost the same at just under 2 cents per mile. ($.02/mile).
Now you have an idea how much real people have spent on maintenance and repairs at HQ
Automotive.
So now the question remains, what's normal? How much do other people spend? I went to the
Internet and this is what I found.
"AAA estimates the maintenance costs of sedans at about five cents per mile"

"they generally pay $.07 to $.13 per mile to run their vehicles."
