Seven common routines of automobile maintenance

First, exaggerate mistakes.

Some stores make you spend more money to make money, which will exaggerate the breakdown of your car. For example, the tire pressure sensor of your car is broken. After arriving at the store, the after-sales technician will tell you that all four tire pressure sensors on the car are broken and need to be replaced. In this way, your maintenance cost will be three times higher.

Second, excessive maintenance.

After driving for a while, you will go to the 4S shop for maintenance. After you go, you will be promoted to gasoline additives, gearbox additives, engine additives and so on. In fact, these additives, like health products, are said to be hype, which has little practical effect, but the price is not low. Many car owners have been fooled into paying IQ tax.

Third, replace parts and oil products in advance.

Some parts in the car are easily damaged and need to be replaced regularly. At the same time, oil products such as engine oil and gear oil also need to be replaced regularly. In fact, these wearing parts have their own service life, that is, life. For example, spark plugs should be replaced once every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, and platinum or iridium spark plugs should be used once every 65,438+10,000 kilometers. There is no problem with replacement, but in order to make money, the store will let the owner replace it in advance.

Fourth, improve the standards of oil products and accessories.

Generally, the prices of accessories with different qualities are different. The higher the quality, the more expensive it is. For example, the price in synthetic engine oil is higher than that in synthetic engine oil, but some cars only cost half of synthetic engine oil, but we will recommend all synthetic engine oil when we go to the store for maintenance. So after we buy it ourselves, we must read the instructions carefully. There is nothing wrong with what the general manufacturers recommend. The more appropriate the better. Of course, no matter how much money you have.

Five, for the package.

When we go for maintenance, some stores will recommend after-sales or maintenance packages. There are many kinds of services. It seems that we bought a lot of value-added services at a very low price. In fact, there are many rules and regulations, and these restrictions will not be told to you until you pay the money. I won't tell you until you use it, and then I'm dumbfounded. There are a lot of invisible consumption, and in China, this routine is enduring.

Six, stealing parts

There are few shops stealing parts, especially small repair shops. When you went to repair the car, the original factory parts were stolen and replaced with sub-factory parts or other cheap parts. Of course, this kind of situation is rare after all, but be careful.

Seven, minor illness overhaul

This is the most hateful point in all maintenance routines. For example, if the door of your car is cut, some shops will strongly advise you to replace the whole door. If it is broken and can't be repaired, you can change the door directly with insurance, which is economical and cost-effective. You think it's perfect to replace the new door. However, if you sell the car in the future and change it, the price will be bad.
