Changing all hoses?

Im taking my car in for some work. Im wondering if i should change all the hoses or just some of them or even none at all? Preventative maintenance type deal. I need to make a decision before i book the appointment because i work out of town and i dont have the time to wait for diagnosis and then waiting for parts.

the only time I would change a hose, is if they are rotting/decomposing/cracking.

if the hoses are NOT cracking/rotting then they are in perfectly working order and you would be wasting money on hoses that dont need to be changed.


even if you are not engine savvy, you can take a look at the hoses you see at the surface when you pop the hood
are they cracking? rotting? splitting?
check the ends, or the hose openings where it connects to metal plumbing.
