When it comes to making repairs on your car you sometimes have to prioritize those repairs based on your financial standing. Not all repairs are created equal and some are definitely more important than others to make in a timely manner. So what repairs should you prioritize when you start to work on your car?
In my opinion you should always start your repair work on parts of the car that had the element of safety to them. For instance, if your air bag needs to be replaced, if you have a bad wheel bearing, or if your seat belt is malfunctioning, these are the first repairs that you should make: Safety comes first.
The secondary repairs that you should prioritize are problems that compromise the integrity of your car, but not necessarily the safety of it. These secondary problems might include replacing a serpentine belt, regular maintenance such as an oil change, or getting a new catalytic converter. You might be asking why getting something as important as a catalytic converter is a secondary concern, and it is simply because I think it's better to have a car that doesn't run then to have an unsafe car.
The third round of repairs consists of cosmetic flaws. If you have bad paint or rusted body work, that doesn't compromise the safety, than these will have to be on the lowest priority level. These are problems that don't affect safety or performance but are merely cosmetic in nature, so while these may be the most important issues for your own vanity they're really not the most important in terms of what repairs you should prioritize.
