What pits are there in the garage?

General consumers have limited knowledge of cars, and it is inevitable that they will be fooled by professionals during the maintenance process. What are the traps? How to avoid being fooled? After paying a return visit to many customers, I summed up eight problems that everyone needs to pay attention to when raising a car (you can also look at the financial platform ok loan) to avoid being pitted by these repair shops!

Methods/steps

1. Make up.

Add high-quality products in the service shop, such as car window film, carpet, cushion, etc. Most of them are of poor quality (the so-called car is not reduced in price, especially the gift of high-quality products, and hundreds of things are said to be thousands). Adding original accessories is more expensive, but the quality is better.

2. Shoubao recommends unnecessary maintenance items.

For example, replacing air filter, gearbox oil, gear oil, engine coolant, etc., many customers don't read the instructions very much, don't know what maintenance items should be done, and are not auto professionals, so they are easily fooled. It is strongly recommended to read the warranty and maintenance manual and user manual before buying a car. Have all necessary items for regular maintenance. If you don't want to do the unnecessary special service recommended by the service consultant of the service shop, don't do it. After all, it will save a lot of money.

3. When replacing accessories, the related normal accessories will also be replaced.

When the service shop overhauls and replaces, it will replace the normal parts for you, saying that if you don't do this, you can't completely eliminate the fault, or exaggerate the fault to scare customers. For the sake of safety, customers who don't know much can only follow.

Use high-priced engine oil

Ordinary household utility vehicles, if not too high-end, don't use those high-priced engine oils. Just use the engine oil specified by the manufacturer to maintain it, which meets the needs and is not expensive. Most of the gasoline cleaners recommended by service shops have little effect and high price, but the manufacturer's warranty stipulates that some models must be done during regular maintenance. If this item is not included in the warranty of their own models, they can also leave it.

5. Deliberately postpone the time

If the vehicle is abnormal, go to the service shop for repair. If the warranty period is coming, the staff told us that it is nothing serious, let it continue to be used, deliberately postpone it, and then it may be replaced at its own expense. This is not for the sake of safety. If you encounter a similar situation, you will feel inferior. Generally, you can call the factory customer service to solve some things.

6. Cut corners with oil

When changing the oil, I won't give it to you, or when you are not there, I won't necessarily give you the good oil you paid for, but secretly change it for something else. Anyway, after maintenance, I'll show you a good brand of empty pot. Can you know what happened during the maintenance? If the reputation of the service shop you go to is not particularly good, ask to see it on the spot.

7. The service project has not been completed.

There are vehicle inspection items in the first warranty and regular maintenance, and some service shops don't do it if they want to save trouble, such as car wash service; After entering the store, you tell the staff that the projects you want to do may actually be less than the projects you spend money on (generally speaking, this is not too much).

8. "Highly recommended"

This compulsion is that the service shop staff said that you have to change this accessory, otherwise you don't have to come to us if something goes wrong in this respect. You can sign some disclaimers and so on, adding fuel to the fire and changing it if you have to. Who told us not to understand cars? If you regret it afterwards, you can't get the money back.
