Car troubles are common for most of us. These result from improper maintenance, poor manufacturing or accidents. While car’s maintenance is necessary these can actually burn a hole in your pocket. Failing to maintain your vehicle can cause damages that need expensive repairs that surpass the car’s value at times.
The most expensive car repair is considered to be the “blown motor”. Engine issues are the most common car problems. Blown engine refers to one that has suffered internal damage and requires extensive repair. A damaged valve, broken rod or leaking oil can be possible triggers for a blown engine. Engine replacement costs you the most depending on the car model, type of engine, etc. At times it is advised to get the other parts changed along with the engine. This makes it more expensive.
The second most expensive car repair is transmission replacement. Most of the times problems with the transmission fluid results in the failure of automatic transmission. The transmission fluid doesn’t require to be changed frequently, and at times it slips off the mind. This causes transmission failure. On other occasions, the fluid becomes overheated. Improper driving habits may result in failure of manual transmissions.
Third comes the head gasket, which is essential for proper engine functioning. A blown gasket results from cooling problems or manufacturing errors. Indications of blown gasket are overheated engine, white smoke from exhaust pipe, coolant leakage, etc.
The fourth most expensive car repair is that of the air conditioning compressor. The air compressor allows the air to cool down inside the car. A broken rod or valve can result in the malfunctioning of the air compressor. The engine belt can also cause ripple effect that makes the compressor to malfunction.
The car’s suspension is an important aspect that doesn’t come in notice when everything’s working fine. It’s the suspension that doesn’t let you feel the bumps on the road. The suspension system is made up of different parts that include springs, shocks, control arm, struts and tie rods. Generally only one set of these parts need to be replaced in case of any damage, but at times a complete overhaul needs to be done. This is when the pocket pinch becomes huge.
All the above mentioned car damages also require a lot of labour which results in increase of the cost.
