How to Save on Rising Repair Costs Before They Go Up Again
Routine maintenance is one of the biggest factors in the cost of vehicle ownership, and those costs keep climbing.
According to AAA, the average annual cost of owning a new car now exceeds $12,000, with maintenance and repairs averaging nearly $1,500 per year (2024).
A prepaid maintenance plan from Heritage Mazda Bel Air, Catonsville & Towson lets you lock in today’s rates, simplify your service schedule, and protect yourself from future price increases.
What is Prepaid Maintenance?
A prepaid maintenance plan works like a subscription for your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance. You pay up front, or roll it into your monthly payment, and your routine services are covered for a set time period, typically 2 to 5 years. That means no surprise service bills, no guessing what’s due next, and no worries about rising prices.
Most plans cover everything recommended in your owner’s manual, including oil changes, tire rotations, multipoint inspections, and fluid replacements. Ask a Heritage Mazda Bel Air, Catonsville & Towson representative which plans are available for your vehicle.
Why Should I Consider It?
Prepaid maintenance plans are factory-backed and designed to make vehicle care simple and predictable. You’ll stay on schedule using genuine parts and factory-specified fluids, which helps preserve your vehicle’s reliability and resale value.
Best of all, by locking in pricing now, you’re protected from inflation and parts-cost increases down the road. With service prices up almost 20% since 2022 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024), it’s a smart way to save while ensuring your vehicle gets the care it needs.
