Motorplex: Service History Email Thank You

I understand that taking care of your car is a responsibility, and it is not often you wake up and want to come visit Motorplex.  Nonetheless, after 18 years, servicing your car or truck is still fun.  I thank you for that opportunity.  Don’t be afraid to just stop in and say high or just ask a question—your car does not have to be broke for that. 
Cars are definitely changing, but one thing seems to hold the same, and that is the better maintained cars in the first 100,000 miles cost a whole lot less to keep on the road in the second 200,000. 
At Motorplex we have all been working hard at each of your visits to review service histories, analyze your owner’s manual recommendations, and set forth a plan for services upcoming.  This should be visible on each of your invoice, and will also show up below in this email. 
We take pride in keeping your cost of ownership low, and the reliability up.  There is no way to completely prevent breakdowns and challenging times, but it sure is a lot easier when you have our team always willing to help you 24/7 nationwide. 
Thank you for being our customer!  http://www.motorplex.com/ 425.310.1100

What make or model of vehicle should I buy?

·         This is mainly a personal decision that I can better assist after you have narrowed down the choices to a few similar competitive models.  Then, I can provide you my personal opinion based on technical data available and experiences with the repair and maintenance in our shop.  It is worth noting, however, that manufacturers seem to have the most challenges when introducing new models or new engine/transmission combinations not previously in production.  www.motorplex.com  www.pro-tow.com  425.310.1100 service 253.245.5454 towing

 

How long should my car last or how long should I keep my car?

·         In 1987, when I began in this trade, 100,000 miles was a milestone, that was often targeted as a turn point for vehicles.  Many manufacturers only produce maintenance intervals up to this mileage.  However, today 150,000 or 200,000 miles is a regular occurrence in our facility, with many of our customers (and myself included)that can satisfactorily testify in excess of 250,000.  Regardless of the vehicle, it is statistically unlikely that you will be satisfied with your vehicle at 150,000 without performing maintenance during the vehicle’s life.  http://www.motorplex.com/   http://www.pro-tow.com/   425.310.1100 service 253.245.5454 towing

Should I repair my vehicle or trade it in?

   Many times this question is more personal in nature than mechanical.  All things mechanical can be repaired, and are most often less expensive than replacing a vehicle.   The decision not to repair on a practical (not personal) level should be made upon an overall vehicle condition evaluation and not necessarily the current repair need.  Combine the overall condition report and financial estimates with the length of time you would like to keep the vehicle.  Then, this can be combined with other likely repair possibilities during your length of ownership.  Finally, you will be better able to assess likely costs of ownership of the current vehicle versus the costs of purchasing a new vehicle.  http://www.motorplex.com/  and http://www.pro-tow.com/  425.310.1100 service and 253.245.5454 towing
