While sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pick-up trucks have become very popular in the market, some buyers of these vehicles are caught unaware of the maintenance cost these vehicles require.
There are also cases when certain dealers would require an SUV or pick-up be subjected to preventive maintenance every six months or one year to maintain its warranty. This can be sometimes painful to the pocket of motorists who have to pay the monthly amortizations for SUVs or pick-ups that could go as high as P36,000 a month.
