whenWhen the car needs maintenance and repair, our first choice is definitely the 4S shop, followed by the car repair shop on the street. In our country, most 4S shops and repair shops are "conscience merchants", but it is inevitable that some unscrupulous merchants will do something to fool the owners! Even an old driver, it is inevitable that he has been cheated!
forIn order to make money, some 4S shops or repair shops always have various means for you to find it to repair cars, such as putting sugar in engine oil, adding salt in antifreeze, adding brine in gearbox oil, etc. It’s really unexpected for you, and you can’t do it without them!
thatDoes the high price of a 4S store mean high service quality, so there is no problem? And the car repair shop on the street is cheap, is the service quality unreliable? Today, Worry-Free Brother tells you about some insider stories that are common in 4S shops and auto repair shops. What "traps" should car owners pay attention to during maintenance?
Why is the 4s shop so expensive? Is it really okay?
First, shorten the maintenance cycle
vehicleAs you all know, after the new car has been running for two or three months, there will be a phone call or SMS notification from the 4S shop to remind you to maintain it. By the way, how many kilometers have it been running? For example: "Dear car owner friend, your car is about to be serviced. Failure to maintain it on time may cause damage to the car and affect the warranty. I suggest you enter the store for maintenance as soon as possible."
haveSome car owners started to panic as soon as they heard that the car was not good for the car, and it would also affect the warranty. They immediately drove the car to the 4S shop for maintenance. Finally, after the maintenance, they found that the car had only driven 5,000 kilometers, so it would cost so much. Will it be later?
thatThe real 4S shop knows that many car owners don’t read the vehicle manual, and they have little knowledge of the car, so most of them will use similar routines to let the car owners maintain in advance or for many times. In fact, the maintenance cycle is not that short at all.
Second, recommend unnecessary maintenance items and excessive maintenance.
4SShops often recommend some extra maintenance items to car owners, or do extra maintenance for cars without the owner’s knowledge. When the owner saw the list of charges, he knew that he had been pitted, and even many car owners were still in the dark after being pitted many times.
exampleIf you only need to change the brake pads, you can change all the brake discs by the way. If the air conditioner is not cooled, just change the refrigerant, but tell the owner that the compressor is broken.
placeWhen the car owners are maintaining in the 4S shop, they must carefully observe the maintenance list confirmed to you before maintenance. Once they find something wrong, they should immediately ask for correction.
Three, the project is not complete.
currentThere should be a few 4S shops that will do this. After all, many car owners ask to check the accessories that have been changed for themselves and the replaced accessories. However, it can be said that cutting corners is commonplace in the auto repair industry, and this kind of thing may happen whether it is a 4S shop or an outside auto repair shop.
Street repair shops are cheap, can the quality be relied on?
First, the quality of accessories is uneven
byThere are many auto repair shops outside, and the competition between them is fierce, which leads to many auto repair shops fiddling with the accessories, but taking the deputy factory parts at the price of the original parts.
such asIf you want to prevent the occurrence of shoddy accessories, the owner should watch while repairing the vehicle, and carefully compare the new accessories with the original ones to see if there is a big difference. If you see anything wrong, you can change to a garage for maintenance.
Second, a small amount of weight is lacking
thisThis one is the least technical, except that the old engine oil can’t be put clean, the new engine oil can be saved, two spark plugs can be replaced less, and the coolant can be mixed with water.
thatIn fact, whether it is in a 4S shop or a roadside repair shop, it is the same, but the same job is changed to a workplace. Therefore, when the car is being maintained, you don’t feel at ease, try to follow it and read the maintenance list clearly. If you hand it over to the 4s shop/repair shop for handling, the effect may not be good after the car is repaired, and you may spend more money.
