There are only a few criteria that need to be looked at when making the decision to fix or replace your vehicle.

• Financial – the $ facts.
• Practical – Does it meet your needs?
• Emotional side – Do you like the vehicle?

Each one of these categories can be broken down into decision-influencing criteria. Some are facts that you and I cannot change and some only you can answer. Below is a very abbreviated guide.

Know the numbers:

• Know what it will cost to maintain and operate your vehicle annually. (Colchin Automotive Inc. can help you with these numbers).
• Know what a replacement vehicle will cost annually. (Monthly payment, taxes, license plates, insurance, etc.)
• Don’t forget the used vehicle option.

The Practicality of your vehicle:

• This is simple…does your vehicle meet your transportation needs?
• Is it big enough?
• Is the fuel mileage acceptable?
• Can it tow a trailer?

The Emotional Aspect:

• Do you like your vehicle?
• Do you like its looks or color?

In The End…

The decision has to be made by you to keep your older vehicle, buy used or buy new. The only advise I can give beyond the unarguable fact that repairing your existing vehicle makes economic sense is that you use good logic and rationale in making your decision.

Please contact us for more detailed information – we have a brochure on the subject.

I’ve dealt with many auto repair shops over the years and I can honestly say that I have never found one that I am more satisfied with than Colchin. I’ve been a customer for about 6 years and have never had one complaint about your service or work. That’s a pretty good record as far as I am concerned.

Thank you for taking such good care of my vehicles and, by extension, my family. We all feel safer knowing you guys worked on our cars. 

Best regards,
Jory Laine

P.S. You think this is good — well, you should see what I would have said if Todd had offered me more than 3 bucks to do this. This thing would have rocked!!!!

My name is Mark D’Aloia and I would like to tell you about the friends I have met at Colchin Automotive. Two words describe them best and the same two words that are the cornerstone of any business. Honesty and integrity. I have been having my vehicles serviced by these guys for years and have been completely satisfied with their service, their positive attitude, and their willingness to discuss and explain the problem and the solution in detail.

Should there be a problem; the entire staff works diligently to solve the issue in a timely manner. Their professionalism and expertise in the industry is unmatched. Thank you to the entire staff for a job well done.

One area of improvement they could make is in the selection of candy they have in their waiting room!

Sincerely,

Mark D’Aloia

Thanks again—Great Job!!
