Thought of asking all of you on actual money you spend for maintenance of your car.
This is a real world guide, so only actual costs you have paid for your car are to be noted. We do not want the list of prices as given in magazines or by hearsay (e.g. my neighbor paid x or my friend paid y). Also, for ease of viewing, we need to follow a format.
If you have records of multiple services done, please note those too IF there is a significant difference in price.
