For many Americans, the cost of maintaining or repairing a car is another reminder that inflation still lingers.
 
The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) from August showed that car repair costs jumped 5% for the month and 15% year-over-year. The increase is more than 33% over the past 4 years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
