i know this started off as a joke, but i was looking for a section to see how people manage their profits and put aside for the extra maintenance sometimes needed from scrapping. over the past 2 months i have 1)had 2 new struts on front, 2)new tires all around. Lots of nails in places i use to pick up at. (managed to nurse the tires for 3 months before finally buying new ones) regular oil change, and new starter put on. Still need to get struts put on the back, and sometime before end of year i think i will need new wheel bearings lol.

The thing that really notice is the tires going out faster with the extra miles, and the increased importance on the suspension work that can keep the tires lasting longer.




What percentage do you all put aside for your WORK ( i use my car for scrapping) vehicle that is specifically because of your scrapping?
