As usual, the staff at Automotive Resources were completely professional and thorough in evaluating the condition of my 2004 Honda, just as they have for my 2001 Tauras as well. Both these cars are over 160,000 miles now, so they have both required some investment, but with the help of AR, I continue to maintain these rather than investing in a new car right now. Frankly, if I had not found AR about three years ago, by now I would have traded in both of the cars, as older cars require detailed evaluation and a plan for upgrades and replacements, which AR has always provided. After the AR staff goes through the car from top to bottom, they list out short and long term maintenance and repair requirements that can be addressed over the next few months to a year. The advantage of this also is that you can evaluate more exactly when you should finally trade the car in rather than continuing to invest in replacements and repairs. With a $800 renovation this past week, the Honda now drives like a brand new vehicle, not requiring really anything significant for the next 1-2 years. Conversely, the Ford Tauras got about a $600 upgrade last year, but still needs about $1,000 in repairs in the coming year, so with 190,000 miles on it I have decided to go ahead and trade it in during 2018. Having the comprehensive list of needs from AR allows you to plan your transportation budget for the year, and not need to do so because of an emergency. They are also the only AAA shop in town, so AAA members like myself also gets discounts.
