I know, I am blessed with an honest mechanic and an older car an 09 chevy. I have had to replace the breaks and the fuel pump in the car and I just bought new tires. He lets me know what needs fixing and what can wait he said my tires could wait a while but they weren't very good on snow and ice. He recommended the ones he uses on his shop cars for me and this winter they've been awesome I got four new tires for 700 bucks. I mentioned buying a new car once and he said why? Your car is in really good condition.
