Do you think car maintenance must go to 4S shop? What is their routine?

You don't have to go to a 4s shop for car maintenance. However, it is recommended to go to 4s shop for maintenance, because 4s shop is more professional, with good service and guaranteed quality. What is important is that if there is a traffic accident due to improper maintenance, the 4s shop cannot escape the corresponding responsibility.

However, 4S shops have incomparable advantages over other auto repair shops, such as providing original parts, better maintenance technology of a single brand, complaint channels, better service and overall more worry-free and reliable. Therefore, there will still be many consumers who will choose to go to the 4S shop for maintenance. What should I pay attention to if I choose to maintain in a 4S shop?

First, try not to choose extra maintenance items recommended by service consultants for daily maintenance.

Generally speaking, the maintenance manual of each car will indicate the specific maintenance items of each maintenance, and it is enough to do maintenance according to the requirements of the maintenance manual. However, service consultants have monthly output requirements, so they sometimes ask consumers to add additional maintenance items.

For example, tell you that the brake pads are too thin and need to be replaced; Engine carbon deposition, need to clean the fuel system; Domestic oil products are not good, so it is necessary to clean the oil circuit. These projects are tantamount to hooliganism for a car that has only been serviced once or twice. Of course, if your car has reached a certain mileage, some items are still necessary. Please refer to the maintenance manual for details.

Second, try not to blindly improve the standard of maintenance parts.

We often say that all synthetic engine oil, half synthetic engine oil, ordinary mineral oil, different oils match different engines. If I drive a car with tens of thousands of dollars, ordinary mineral oil or semi-synthetic engine oil can meet the demand. As a result, the 4S shop said that all synthetic engine oil was good, so I switched to all synthetic engine oil. Of course, for cars, synthetic engine oil is definitely better than other engine oils, but it is not necessary for a car with tens of thousands of dollars.

Although it is possible to extend the maintenance time in synthetic engine oil, some 4S shops will not inform the owner of the oil during maintenance, resulting in the owner changing the oil every 1 10,000 kilometers instead of every 5,000 kilometers.

Third, beware of a few "dirty" shops stealing parts.

I have seen a news before that a 4S shop replaced the headlights of its own car with ordinary headlights, and the original headlights were sold to other consumers, which was finally discovered by the owner, making a lot of noise. Of course, this kind is a minority after all, but be careful.
