Still don't feel a need to Balance nor Alignment until new tires put on also moving up to better 185/65/15 for $30 less for a full set compared to OEM brand

Only 5 oil + filter changes (could probably had got away with only 4)
OEM Front brake pads replaced @ 25k mi(they were junk)
w/ $60 Ceramics w/lifetime warantee(basically when these go bad, i get new pads for free )

Considering my fuel log status, What ive been able to save, has already paid for the maintenance performed + the tires i still need to get... Breaking even, then next year i'll actually be saving, and applying towards insurance haha...
