Maybe it’s the wear and tear of years on the road, maybe it’s a growing family or other lifestyle change, maybe it’s unexpected damage. Whatever the reason, if you’ve been searching “Toyota repair near me” for your vehicle, you may also be wondering if now is the time to replace your car rather than repair it. We certainly can’t make that decision for you, but our Toyota dealers have some advice for making a decision about repairing or replacing your Toyota SUV, truck, or car.
Repairing vs. Replacing Your Car
If you think through these questions, you’ll probably have a good idea about whether it’s better to replace or repair your Toyota vehicle.
- How long am I likely to keep driving this car? If you’re driving a years-old vehicle with tens or even hundreds of thousands of miles on it, replacement might be coming up soon anyways. Depending on the answers to the next couple of questions, that could be an argument for choosing a new Toyota vehicle and parting ways with your old one.
- How much are the costs of the repairs vs. the value of my vehicle? You can use the Trade Appraisal tool on our website to get an estimate of what your current car, truck, or SUV would be worth if you were to sell it or trade it in, and compare that with the cost of the repairs needed.
- Consider the impact of the repairs on the value of your car. Will the repair add a similar amount of value to what it will cost? Or will a costly repair add very little value to your vehicle? The latter is another argument for replacing rather than repairing.
