People often hear old drivers say that the better the car is maintained, the longer it will take to drive. If you maintain a good car, you can also get a higher price when selling a used car. Therefore, no matter whether the car you buy is expensive or not, the owner will carefully maintain it. Some careful owners will send the car for a full maintenance when they find a small bump in the vehicle.
However, raising a car is like "raising a child", proper maintenance can be done, not too blind or over-maintenance, which is harmful and unhelpful to the car. Some novice drivers do not understand the knowledge of car maintenance, and after listening to the words of the clerk, they will obediently do it, and as a result, they have spent money in vain and have not received benefits. There are 4 kinds of car maintenance is very redundant, but many novice drivers pay the "IQ tax".
First, leather seat maintenance
The center console seats of many high-end models are made of leather materials, which brings a strong sense of grade to the car. Everyone knows that leather materials need frequent maintenance, and if they are not maintained, they may age, and cracks or paint will appear on the surface of the leather.
When doing maintenance, the clerk will also advise the owner to maintain the leather seat to avoid damage to the seat surface. In fact, although many cars claim to use leather seats, they are actually a mixture of leather and other materials, which are not as fragile as leather and do not need maintenance at all.
Second, tire maintenance
The tire is the "two feet" of the car, and it is also the only part of the car that is in contact with the ground, which is of great significance to driving safety. Tires are aging or weathering, and punctures may occur at high speeds, causing the vehicle to get out of control or overturn.
Everyone knows the importance of tires, usually also pay attention to the situation of tires, see the tire pattern wear too seriously, will replace the tire in time. When doing maintenance, many people will also give tires maintenance. In fact, this is very unnecessary, because tire maintenance is actually to clean the dirty things on the tire and make the tire look cleaner, which has no practical significance at all.
Third, engine maintenance
Engine maintenance is actually to clean up the carbon deposits of the engine, or let the owner buy fuel treasure and add it to gasoline to improve the performance of the vehicle. It's just that when introducing the owner, the clerk will not tell the owner so bluntly. They will tell the owner that engine maintenance is a very necessary project, if the engine is not maintained from time to time, it will not take long for the performance of the engine to decline, and it may burst the cylinder if it is serious.
Novice drivers do not understand at all, only know that the engine is the most important part of the car, and it will take a few more years to maintain the engine of their own car. In fact, the maintenance of the engine is the "IQ tax", if the engine has carbon deposits, go to the maintenance to tell the maintenance master, let him help clean up it, there is no need to spend more money.
Fourth, air conditioning cleaning
When the car is driven for a long time, a lot of dust will accumulate in the air outlet or air conditioning filter. When doing maintenance, the clerk will also advise the owner to do air conditioning cleaning. In fact, although this project seems to be cleaning up the car air conditioner, it actually has no practical significance, and the filter element is the most important.
summary:
Car maintenance is really important, and regular car maintenance can also extend the life of the car. But not all projects make sense. The above 4 projects do not make much difference, just spend more money, we must polish our eyes, do not let ourselves be wronged.
