An unexpected expense

This morning I took my car in for its 37,500 maintenance at the dealership thinking that it was a covered expense under the original warranty and got a little bit of a shock to find out that it isn’t covered. The four previous scheduled maintenance checks were covered under the warranty. My car has a warranty of 4 years or 50,000 miles but I guess at this point it is only good for things that actually break. I was able to convince them to let me use a 10% off coupon that is worth $32 so that will bring the price to about $288. I plan to keep this car for many years so I just need to get used to paying for proper upkeep. Soon I need to buy new tires for the car. If it is not one thing it is another.
