Hello, i'm the king of 20 years of repair. Today we're talking about a problem that the owner's got to deal with -- is car maintenance going to 4s or roadside repair? There's a lot of options here. We don't play dirty. We'll see what you can do
I. Advantages and disadvantages of maintaining 4s
Advantages: profession, economy, security
The original plant spare parts, oils, filters, brakes, etc. Of quality for the 4s store, are branded by the manufacturer without fear of forgery. Suitable for new vehicles, especially those that are still under warranty, to avoid outside maintenance affecting them. Specialized equipment, data matching, such as machine oil, 4s will match maintenance data with a manufacturer-certified computer, and the roadside store may simply “change it”. High-end vehicles (bba, porsche, etc.) involved system upgrades, trouble code clearance, and 4s stores were more specialized. In case of maintenance problems (e. G. Oil leaks, screws are not tightened), 4s will be responsible for the end. Some brands experience better by offering services such as free testing and car wash。
Shortcomings: high price, high standard
With high prices, the same oil filters for hours and hours, 4s could be 30-50 per cent more expensive than the outside, especially in respect of luxury brands. Some 4s stores recommend “set maintenance”, which may contain unnecessary items. It could be “over-maintenance” for 20,000 kilometres to switch to spark plugs and clean up oil roads, but many cars are not needed. It's easy for a rookie to be fooled and spend too much money。
Ii. Advantages and disadvantages of roadside repair shop maintenance
Advantages: cheap, flexible, efficient high
Prices are affordable, and the same full-synthesis oils are saved for the money instrument, and roadside stores may be half as cheap as 4s. The working hours were low, and minor maintenance (freight refuelling + filtering) was generally done at $100-200. The know-how shop is more comfortable, but if you have a trusted maintenance shop, the master is good and the value is high. It would be more cost-effective to buy high-end oil and brand cores on their own, so that the master would only charge hours. There are no queues, and there are frequent appointments to repair shop 4s, and roadside shops are usually available, saving time。
Disadvantages: uneven quality and risk
It is hard to tell that some small shops use side-plants to impersonate the original plant and even retrofit old ones (e. G. Brakes, air conditioning cores). If you don't know what to do, it's easy to get caught. The technology gap is wide, and the level of repairing is not responsible for roadside shopkeepers varies widely, and in the event of improper operation (e. G. Oil, screws, silk), it may not be recognized. Some of the complex failures (e. G. Speedboxes, circuit problems) may not be possible. There is no systematic record, which affects the records of the 4s shop maintenance at the used car price, which can sell more money; the roadside shop maintenance is not recorded and the buyer may have charged a price。
Iii. Teacher fu's proposal: this is the best choice
New car in three years, priority 4s
Old car (over 3 years)
High-end, mixed car, 4s
Iv. Guide to pits: wherever you go, remember these
Oil is not cheap: it destroys engines and chooses a large brand (full, shell, kasato). Maintenance project comparison manual: the manufacturer's request is for whatever it wants, so don't be fooled. All the way to look at it: to avoid a little brother stealing less (e. G. Changing only engine oil and not filtering cores). Leave documents: in case of a problem, they are upheld。
