This, just about verbatim, is the way I am about it.

I always try to pay attention to how the car is doing as I drive it, and if anything seems off, start looking into it. If something's defintely bad, gotta get it fixed. If it's not life threatening to me or the vehicle, and I can live with it, I will for a time and then have it fixed.
