Tell me about your experience of being cheated by a 4S store?

I was cheated in a shop in 4S. Is the maintenance fee of 20,000 pounds really necessary? After buying a car, it comes with the problem of maintenance. Under normal circumstances, we often choose a relatively standardized 4S shop for maintenance and repair, but there is also the risk of being pitted. Next, I will share with you the experience of my 4S shop being pitted.

One weekend last year, I drove on a business trip. On the way, I suddenly felt that the vehicle was turned off, and refueling didn't work. At that time, I didn't realize that it might be a mechanical failure. I think this is a fuel consumption problem, so I simply found a 4S shop nearby for inspection.

During the inspection in the 4S shop, the technician told me that the spark plug and throttle valve needed to be replaced, and the cost was about 20,000 yuan. I was shocked when I heard the price. However, the return from business trip is just around the corner, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and squeeze my car into the repair shop.

When I got the car, I was sure that the maintenance fee of 20 thousand really needed to be paid, and I was still confused. How did such a high cost come from? So I started my own investigation.

First of all, I talked with a number of experts in the automobile industry and came to the conclusion that there is something wrong with my car, but the maintenance fee of 20,000 pounds mentioned is really too high. On the other hand, I also consulted the maintenance manuals of similar models and found some problems by myself against the checklist: it seems that some maintenance costs are unnecessary. For example, I rechecked the spark plug and found that there was no such big problem and there was no need to replace it. At the same time, when checking the throttle, I found a small scratch on the new part, so it should be the damage during the whole replacement process, but it was tested as usual.

My doubts and doubts have been confirmed, and the facts prove that my doubts are true. I went to other repair shops to check, and they told me that if the repair is carried out according to the actual situation, the cost may be between 5 thousand and 1 10 thousand yuan, which is far from the high price provided by 4S shops. All this reminds me that when there are problems in the future, I must master more professional knowledge and not be confused by unnecessary store operations.

In a word, being cheated by 4S stores is a very unpleasant thing. But if we know more and remain vigilant, we can keep unnecessary losses to a minimum during the repair and maintenance stage. We should be less careless and more thoughtful and cautious. I hope my experience will tell you that when choosing a 4S store, I should learn more and collect evidence, and don't be bothered by unnecessary maintenance fees.
