"Car maintenance choose to go to the 4S shop or the auto repair shop" this topic of controversy is very big, some people think that the technology of the auto repair shop is not good, the quality of the parts is poor, some people say that the 4S shop charges high, indiscriminate charges, many routines, technology is not better than the outside repair shop, etc., in short, there are different opinions, each has its own statement. So if the car is within the warranty period, is it necessary to go to the 4S shop for maintenance? What should be paid attention to when maintaining?
First of all, if the vehicle is still within the warranty period, Tutu recommends that you try to go to the 4S store for maintenance, of course, you can also do maintenance outside, after all, in 2015, the country has introduced relevant policies, not to force consumers to go to the 4S store for maintenance. But outside the maintenance, but also try to choose a regular and reliable repair shop, in addition to each maintenance of the documents should also be kept complete, if there is no such formal maintenance documents, the later vehicle in the warranty period of the problem, 4S shop may not be in accordance with the formal maintenance as the reason for the excuse to shirk the skin.
Therefore, during the warranty period, we try to choose to go to the 4S store for maintenance, but at this time, many friends may have another problem, and the money spent on maintenance in the 4S store must be more, whether it is the cost of working hours or materials, it is more expensive than the outside. For example, take a BMW 5 Series as an example, it may cost 1,000 yuan to replace the oil filter from the 4S shop, but it may be five or six hundred outside.
This problem, everyone has to do maintenance, especially some routine small maintenance, must do the project needless to say must be done, but some additional unnecessary items are completely unnecessary to do, this is the most important point in the 4S store to do maintenance can save money.
In addition, when doing maintenance, the owner is best to stare at the scene as much as possible, even if you don't know anything about the car, you can't understand it, but people are standing next to it, at least it can play a certain "deterrent", after all, the maintenance worker doesn't know whether you understand it or not, whether it is for maintenance in the 4S shop or maintenance in the repair shop outside, it can avoid a lot of unnecessary problems.
For example, the engine oil is shoddy, or only the oil is changed without changing the filter element, or even in the case you don't know that you have done more maintenance items and finally overcharged, for example, when you charge, you are told that not only the oil filter has been changed, but when you change the oil, you have found more impurities, and you have cleaned the engine. Although this situation is rare now, as the saying goes, it is necessary to guard against others.
In addition, when doing maintenance, it should also be noted that if there is a fault in some places, it can be repaired or only a single part can be replaced, but it is possible to give you a direct replacement of an assembly. In this case, it is necessary to find out first before repairing or replacing it.
There is also a lot of problems encountered by many friends, that is, when maintenance, whether to listen to the 4S shop or the manufacturer, or listen to some other so-called old drivers' suggestions, for example, the user maintenance manual of the vehicle clearly says that 10,000 kilometers to change the fully synthetic engine oil, but the 4S shop calls every 5,000 kilometers to change the oil, saying that 10,000 kilometers to change the engine is not good, and some old drivers say that 10,000 kilometers do not need to be changed, 15,000 kilometers or even 20,000 kilometers to change once is fine。
If you also have this kind of entanglement, you might as well think about it, who produced this car? It must be produced by the automobile manufacturer, so no one knows more about this car than the automobile manufacturer, according to the user's maintenance manual, let 10,000 kilometers change it once and then replace it according to 10,000 kilometers, let the replacement of fully synthetic engine oil replace the fully synthetic engine oil, if you say that let the replacement of mineral oil replace the mineral oil, there is no need to pursue the full synthetic engine oil.
As for why the 4S shop deliberately shortens the maintenance cycle, to put it bluntly, it is to make money, because after all, the profit of selling cars is relatively low, and even many models are sold at a loss. Therefore, if you do a maintenance for 10,000 kilometers and a maintenance for 5,000 kilometers, the 4S shop can make more money, but this is not necessary for the owner, including for the car.
The above is some questions about car maintenance, now everyone should have their own answer to whether to go to the 4S shop maintenance or repair shop maintenance, in addition to the so-called "big maintenance" of the car, Tutu personally recommends that you try not to do, small maintenance everyone knows, is to replace the oil filter, Air filter and so on, and major maintenance is actually to replace all the wearing parts on the vehicle, including oil, which is completely unnecessary, only need to be replaced regularly according to different parts of different replacement cycles and use status. If you have any additional suggestions or comments on car maintenance, you can leave a message to participate in the discussion.
