Fortunately, we've found a reliable repair person. One smart enough to warn us before he ever comes out if some part is likely to be ridiculously expensive (door seal on a freezer). And when he does come, he does what he says he'll do, does it well, and charges appropriately. Love him (Rocket Appliance, on the Sunshine Coast of BC.)
For cars? Mine is 16 years old, like new, and I could never replace it, so I treat it well. (2000 Honda S2000. Bought in the dot-com glory days.)
Wife has a truck. Her choice, which she now regrets. But both are paid off. No new cars unless something fails.
