Which maintenance items don't need to go to 4S shop?

There's no need to go to 4S's shop to do it?

I often go to the 4S shop for maintenance. I believe my friends must have this feeling: they will obviously change the oil, start cleaning the air conditioner, the wiper is aging, the light bulb needs to be changed, and glass water is added. The original five or six hundred yuan has become 1500 or 2000.

1, tire repair or tire replacement

Because I don't know anything about cars, I don't know if what he said is true or not. Most car owners and friends are cursing in their hearts, and then they can only pay for themselves. But in fact, some projects don't need to be done, and you can even replace them yourself. Then tell us which projects don't need to be completed in 4S stores.

Tires are easy to wear, and it is inevitable to encounter problems such as puncture and puncture when driving on the road. If the tire has a problem and needs to be replaced or repaired, consumers don't have to go to the 4S store to buy the tire and then pay them to install it.

Just buy tires directly from official website or Auto Parts City, which is economical and practical, and they will help you install them for free.

Step 2 clean the air conditioner

We are often introduced by 4S shop assistants to do "air conditioning sterilization activities in the car". This activity is actually spraying bactericide on air conditioners. This step can be completed by the owner himself. There is no need to do it in a 4S shop, and it will cost unnecessary money.

Air-conditioning cleaning in 4S shops is generally just to replace the air-conditioning filter element for you and clean it with cheap detergent. After all, we can't see whether it is clean or not, and the air conditioner is like that.

So people who know cars can clean them themselves, or go to ordinary repair shops, or buy things themselves.

3. Replace the air conditioner and air filter.

If you find an odor when you turn on the air conditioner, it is generally possible that the air conditioner filter needs to be replaced. The replacement cycle of air conditioning filter in most models is about one year. The air conditioning filter itself is actually very cheap, but it is another matter to change the price in a 4S shop.

There is also an air filter element, which is mainly used to help filter impurities in the air. Generally, vehicles in urban areas are replaced once every 20,000 kilometers, which is very convenient. Lungu strongly recommends not to go to the 4S store to replace it.

4, engine internal cleaning

This is one of the common flicker items in 4S stores, and the price is generally around 100-300.

4S shopping malls often advise consumers to do this maintenance project, but this project is actually very simple. The so-called engine internal cleaning is not to remove the engine parts of the car to help you clean. Mainly add some chemical cleaning agents from the oil port, then let the engine idle for 10 to 15 minutes, and then drain the old oil. It's that simple.

5, replace the car light bulb

Some car owners have strong hands-on ability and don't know how to remove the lampshade and replace the light bulb, so many car owners will ask the staff of 4S shop to replace the light bulb during maintenance.

In fact, some people in auto parts city also change car bulbs, including headlight bulbs, small bulbs, brake light bulbs, car bulbs and so on. As long as you know the models of these bulbs (you can see the models when you remove them), there are also some big brands with reliable quality. Not only is it cheap and reliable, but the employees of Auto Parts City will be responsible for the installation, and many times they don't charge for working hours.

Step 6 Replace the battery

The current batteries are basically maintenance-free, and the service life is generally 2 to 3 years, mainly depending on the use and maintenance of the owner. If the old batteries are replaced in the outside garage, they can be recycled at a discount.

7, car beauty

If you want to film, wax, crystal or seal your car, just find a relatively reliable beauty shop, and you will definitely get better treatment than a 4S shop.

Besides, the price is definitely cheaper than that of 4S stores. So like this kind of decoration and beauty, it is more cost-effective to go to a professional beauty shop. There is really no need to spend money in a 4S store.

For example, all kinds of decorative strips of cars, related items in cars, car stickers, car painting and waxing, glazing, painting, chassis armor and so on.

In short, after buying a car, in addition to maintenance, it is best not to go to a 4S shop to do such decoration and beauty, which is too expensive and cannot guarantee how good the quality is.

8. Replace the wiper blade

Wiper blades are wearing parts, which can be used for six months to two years according to different quality and need to be replaced. Wiper blades are not very technical. There are also many vendors in the market. The quality is better than the original accessories, and the price is much cheaper than the 4S shop.

9. Replace glass water

Although many friends know that they are replacing glass water, there are still a small number of car owners who will go to 4S shops. What he thinks is whether the glass water in 4S shop is better and more professional?

Later, you will find that professional glass water is better and cheaper than that used in 4S stores. Just buy it yourself. When changing, the hood is opened, the glass cover is opened, and it can be poured directly.

Summary:

The after-sales department of the 4S store is responsible for most of the company's income sources, and naturally it will come up with various ways to make the shopkeepers spend more. In short, routine maintenance is still needed, and there is no need for 4S stores to do all the projects unless you are really not short of money and too lazy to do it yourself.

Like some consumable parts, you can search for videos or materials online and install them yourself. This will not only improve your understanding of cars, but also save a lot of money.
