Father and son EV car lot

My son says if I get an EV I never have to do oil changes, fix the transmission or replace the brakes. Are EVs really that much cheaper to maintain?

Some drivers are hearing the same thing from younger family members lately: switch to an electric vehicle and you can forget about oil changes, transmission problems, and constant brake replacements. It almost sounds too good to be true. So is that actually how EV ownership works—or is it an oversimplified sales pitch?

My Mechanic Says My Car Is “Not Worth Fixing.” Should I Believe Them?

One minute you’re expecting a repair estimate, and the next you’re wondering if your car’s life story just ended. But that phrase isn’t always as dramatic as it sounds. In many cases, it’s just a mechanic’s way of saying the numbers might not add up anymore.

My mechanic says I should change my oil every 5,000 miles, but my car's manual says 10,000. Does my mechanic just think I'm an easy mark?

You look at your owner’s manual and it says 10,000 miles. Your mechanic says 5,000 miles. It is tempting to assume someone is trying to sell you something, but the real answer depends on your engine, your oil, and how you drive.
