And it\u2019s (probably) not just because your car is aging.<\/p>\n<p> Consumers spent an average of $384.90 fixing their cars in 2019, according to CarMD.com, which maintains a nationwide database of repairs and costs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       That\u2019s up only a little from 2018\u2019s $380.85, and it\u2019s a big increase over the $357.45 consumers spent in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of parts needed to repair cars averaged almost $237 last year, and consumers spent around $148 having those items installed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see:<\/strong> The best 2021 SUVs priced under $30k<\/p>\n<p>Like just about any other service, pricing varies slightly by region. Average repair costs in the Southern and Western U.S. inched closer to $400, while those in the Midwest were lower at around $360. Consumers in the Northeast were between those numbers at $384.08 on average.<\/p>\n<p>What were the cheapest and most expensive fixes? CarMD.com found that consumers paid just $25 on average to have a fuel cap tightened or replaced. Loose or faulty fuel caps can trigger a check engine light due to the way they seal the car\u2019s emissions system. At the opposite end of the spectrum, repair shops charged on average $7,348 to replace an engine block \u2014 the central part of a car\u2019s engine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see: <\/strong>Financially fragile Americans during COVID-19 have difficulty answering these 15 money questions \u2014 can you?<\/p>\n<p>And the most common fixes? The two most typical were related to the exhaust system: a catalytic converter, which does its best to reduce tailpipe emissions, and an oxygen sensor, which helps tell the engine how much air it should take in. Catalytic converters contain precious materials and are costly to repair \u2014 think $1,375, CarMD.com says, while oxygen sensors are relatively inexpensive at around $245 to replace.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story originally ran on\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autotrader.com\/car-news\/heres-how-much-the-average-car-repair-now-costs\" class=\"icon none\">Autotrader.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Andrew Ganz\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Andrew_Ganz\"><\/span>Andrew Ganz<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
