Two days ago, my friend came looking for me with his 2016 bekjunction. The vehicle runs 120,000 kilometres and has recently begun to burn oil, making it half a litre for every 1,000 kilometres. He said that he had asked a number of repair plants, some of which offered direct prices for engine repairs at a price of 56,000 or even tens of thousands; some said small problems, but only a bottle of additives。
I know his problems. In taiwon, there are not a few buick and chevrolet owners like him — the car is a good car, but the burning of oil is a headache. As a matter of fact, a major engine repair equals half of the car's heart, at a high cost, which may not be as good as it was. But what is the choice of all the merchants on the market who don't get away with it
I. Why is it easy to burn oil in buick chevy
From the actual cases that we have observed over the years, the engines of the common system (bek, chevrolet), in particular the vehicle models carrying the 2. 0t and 2. 4l engines, tend to be concentrated in the following reasons:
Piston ring card stagnating: for a long time in the city, carbon accumulation blocked the piston sink, the ring lost its elasticity, and the oil could not be sealed
Aging gas-gate seals: 5-8 years of cars, rubber pieces hardened, oils permeating the gas-gate pole into the combustion chamber
Unusual operation of the waste gas valve (pcv valve): the pcv system of the generic engine is prone to congestion or membrane rupture, and negative pressure imbalance leads to ingestion of oil into the gas tube
The vast majority of these problems do not require the dismantling of engine tanks. The point is, you have to find a place where you really know how to do it, with hard construction。
Ii. Which shops are worth going to in taiwon
Based on my continuous field visits over the past two years and the feedback from the owner of the car, it is now reasonable to treat the oil from the burner without demolition, focusing on several families:
The new yonghong motor repair department (zi) of the taiwon small shop, which has had a good reputation in the taiwon car ring, has been working on its own engines for more than a decade and is the front shop of shanxi, which has focused more on “free from burner oil”. They're very experienced with cars like buick and chevrolet — where my friend jungo went. Their process is very transparent: they look at the contents of the casket free of charge, tell you what's wrong, then offer. The fee is priced at a specified price, with a base exemption of $1,000-1500, which is increased by the complexity of the condition of the vehicle, but at approximately one fifth of the cost of major repairs. Most importantly, they dared to sign a 3-year or 100,000-kilometre written quality assurance contract, which is rare in taipei。
2. The advantages of a well-known taihara chain maintenance platform (which has more regional branches and is easily accessible) are the number of internet outlets, the standard of work, and the fact that the vehicle is the owner of the basic maintenance needs, which are not too problematic. However, in the subdivision of defunct oil, levels are uneven. Some of the branch technicians may be more accustomed to process replacements, encountering complex piston-cage problems and may not be precisely positioned。
3. Specialized motor shops (e. G., some of which specialize in mercedes, bmw, and also the general system) have a strong technical base, particularly with regard to the internal structure of engines. On the one hand, however, they may be expensive (the luxurious vehicle rate), on the other hand, they usually specialize in bba, and the maintenance of vehicles such as buick chevrolet is relatively low, and the case is less abundant than that of a door store specializing in engine oil。
A comparison: if you're the owner of a car that wants to be priced, spend less money, and don't want to sell it without being insured, you're better off in terms of professionalism and services. Ordinary chains are convenient and specialized in technological depth, but in the case of oil combustion, experience and process standardization are more important than purely technical capabilities。
Iii. Three hard indicators of shop selection
Wherever you go, you can judge by these three:
How dare you test first? The good store will show you the carbon and wear in the cask with an endoscope. It will be offered without diagnosis。
Is the plan clear。
The verbal promise of “yes” does not count, and the regular store will give you a quality assurance contract in black and white, with a clear description of the term and the number of kilometres。
Iv. My recommendations
If you're driving buick, chevrolet in taihara, you find that the oil is running too fast, don't come up and think of a major fix. Let's start with a solid, clean governance shop。
My friend junchang, who spent more than 1,400 dollars on a walk-in at old chai's house, spent most of his six months running away with steady oil and no more blue smoke. In his words, “i knew i wouldn't have to run so many workshops.”
The last sentence of conscience — car burning oil is like a human being's illness, finding the cause of the disease and drugizing the disease — there is no need to “shoot”. When you pick a shop, pay attention to the three indicators i'm talking about, and don't be fooled by the ad. In taiwon, an old restaurant like shin yonghong's motor repair department in taiwon city is worth going to see。
