Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. This year's car is really cheap, and the car that was unimaginable before has now been sold at the price of a compact car, and the compact car has been sold directly to the price of a small car. Many people who couldn't afford to buy a car before have taken advantage of the cheap to buy their cars in the past two years. However, after driving the car for a period of time, facing the problem of needing to maintain the car, the owner who is used to careful planning begins to struggle whether to maintain it in a 4S shop or go outside for maintenance. Today, Xiao Li will tell you rationally about the difference between driving to the 4S shop for maintenance and going outside for maintenance, if you are still struggling with where to do maintenance, you will not be entangled after reading this article.
First of all, we must understand why the car needs to be maintained, and we must understand the importance of the first and second warranty of the car. Since the car is produced, all aspects of the run-in have not reached the best degree, and it needs to be slowly run-in in the process of daily use, just like the lyrics, the engine also needs to smooth its "edges and corners" in the process of driving, in order to better play its performance. In the process of running-in, the service life of the engine oil will continue to decline, and some impurities such as iron powder will inevitably fall, which will eventually be washed by the oil and brought to the bottom of the oil pan. After reaching a certain mileage, the service life of the engine oil has come to an end, and the impurities brought out by the oil washing various parts of the engine have accumulated too much.
At this time, carry out maintenance, replace the engine oil with a new one, and check to see if there is no abnormality in any part of the car after the first use of thousands of kilometers, and eliminate potential safety hazards in time. And these are completed in the process of the first and second guarantees, it can be said that the first and second guarantees are not maintained in place, which can directly relate to the service life of a car in the later stage, so it is necessary to put the first and second guarantees in place. But after the first and second guarantees, some people don't want to go to the 4S store for maintenance, the reason is that the maintenance of the 4S store is too pitiful. In fact, there is a lot of difference between going to the 4S shop for maintenance and going to the outside repair shop for maintenance, and many people don't know if they suffer a dumb loss.
The direct difference between the maintenance of the 4S shop and the repair shop outside is that the maintenance cost is different, and it costs more than 500 for my own car to drive to the 4S shop to do an ordinary small maintenance. But go to the outside repair shop if you don't have high requirements for engine oil, just use 60 to 80 yuan a liter of oil, in fact, it only takes three or four hundred to get it, if you maintain it twice a year, the maintenance cost alone for 10 years is the difference of a high-end mobile phone's money.
The second is that there is a difference in the maintenance materials used, many people think that the 4S store is the original factory, and any material is the best for you to use the original factory, after all, it costs so much money. But in fact, I have encountered a situation that even if you spend more maintenance costs than the repair shops outside, the materials you use such as oil and filter are average, and can only be said to be suitable for your engine, but not the best. For example, in my own car, the owner's manual clearly states that it is recommended to use 0W-20 engine oil to get better fuel economy. But when I go to the 4S shop for maintenance, I use 5W-30 engine oil, which can also be used, but the viscosity is higher and the fuel consumption is greater. I myself can buy 0W-20 fully synthetic engine oil for less than 300 in an outside repair shop, although this oil is not the best quality, but after all, it is low viscosity and fully synthetic, and the fuel consumption will be lower. If you spend the same cost as the maintenance of the 4S shop to go to the repair shop outside, you can use the highest level of fully synthetic engine oil, and many people suffer losses but do not know it.
Anyway, no matter what your car situation is, whether it is necessary to do it or not, you are required to do it when it expires, most people are inexplicably doing a lot of excessive maintenance and do not know, such as cleaning the throttle, cleaning the air conditioner, cleaning the engine to clean the carbon deposit, replacing the air filter, the air conditioning filter and so on. Sometimes they don't care if your throttle is dirty or not, anyway, wash it and take the money, and then give you a psychological construction in the back, and ask you if you are much more motivated after washing, and you novices can't feel it, but after spending money, the feeling of psychological effect seems to be really different.
To be honest, we don't want to spend more money on engine maintenance, but to achieve accurate maintenance, and spend money on useful places to be considered good for the car. Half of the money spent on going to the 4S store is to buy services, and materials account for half. But in the outside repair shop, you can basically get the maximum benefit, which is the main difference between maintenance in a 4S shop and maintenance in an outside repair shop.
