When to Repair or Replace Your GMC Vehicle

A big repair bill for your current car can make you think it’s simply time to buy a new one here at Wilkinson Automotive. While there’s a lot to love about our new car lineup, this is a big decision, and you should take your time to figure out whether repairing or replacing is right for you. If you’re asking yourself “Should I buy a new car or should I take my vehicle to the GMC mechanic near me?”, here’s what you should consider.

How Often You Need Repairs

Is your car constantly in and out of the shop? If it feels like your vehicle spends more time with the mechanic than with you, that’s a major inconvenience. Replacing your current car with a more reliable new vehicle might be a smart option.

However, if this is your first major repair? Maybe you’ll be fine with this car for a while longer, even if you have to pay a significant bill to get it back out onto the road.

New Features and Safety Tech

If your car is up there in age, the new features and tech found in a new GMC SUV might be appealing. This is especially true if you’ve gone through any big life changes in recent years. For example, if you now have a family and the safety of your kids to think about, a new vehicle with updated driver assistance features might look like a better option than your current, less tech-filled vehicle.

Cost of Repair vs Cost of a Year’s Payments

If you have a really big repair bill, start shopping around for a new car and do some math. If you think that a year of payments on a new car would be less costly or comparable to the cost of a repair, then a replacement might be the way to go.
