maintenance & repair costs
Maintenance and Repair Is Overrated - Here’s Why
Between 2008 and 2018, Toyota Corolla owners paid an average of $1,220 per year for maintenance, about 13% more than the $1,075 yearly cost for Honda Civic drivers. This gap reflects higher labour rates, more unscheduled service calls, and manufacturer-specific fees that accumulate over a vehicle’s lifespan.
