Financing Auto Repairs
Has your daily commute vehicle unexpectedly broken down and is in need of repair? While maintenance costs on most modern cars are relatively low, common repair costs average $500 to $600 and often go much higher. Agencies like AAA often encourage drivers to set aside a minimum of $50/month for routine maintenance and unexpected car repairs. Other than your home, a vehicle is still one of the most valuable you can make.
Here Are A Few Options On How To Finance Your Auto Repairs:
- Enbright Credit Union Personal Signature Loans
