With the continuous improvement of economic level, basically every household has a car of its own, or has plans to buy a car for a period of time. However, once you have a car, maintenance has become an inevitable topic for car owners. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about car maintenance, hoping to help you.

In most people's impression, when it comes to car maintenance, the first thing that comes to mind is to change the oil, but do you really think that changing the oil and filtering are all the contents of car maintenance? If you really think and often do similar simple maintenance for your car, then you are all wet!

First of all, let's learn about the standards of car maintenance. Automobile maintenance is a preventive work to inspect, clean, supplement, lubricate, adjust or replace some parts of the automobile within a specified period, which is also called maintenance. It mainly includes the maintenance scope of engine system (engine), gearbox system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system and power steering system.

Car maintenance is basically divided into minor maintenance and major maintenance (or different names but the same nature). Today, let's talk about one of the most basic maintenance of automobile maintenance, minor maintenance, which is normal routine maintenance.

Routine maintenance scope: After a certain period or several kilometers of driving, it is necessary to change the engine oil, filter the engine, clean the engine compartment, check the engine oil, brake, refrigeration, chassis and lighting system, and test the driving computer data. Tighten the chassis assembly screws.

(Tip: Car owners often drive their cars to a 4S shop for maintenance before reaching the mileage or maintenance cycle. Actually, it's not necessary Doesn't mean spending more money on cars. You can go to the store for testing regularly, for example, once a month, or regularly. There is no charge for routine inspection. As for maintenance, if it exceeds the normal maintenance mileage of 65,438+0,000 kilometers, it will have no impact on the car. of course，

For the majority of car owners, every time they go to the 4S shop for maintenance, SA (that is, after-sales service consultant) will always promote some gasoline pipeline cleaning, air conditioning cleaning, brake maintenance and other projects or some car maintenance products, such as engine cleaning agent, engine protective agent, air conditioning cleaning agent and so on. It will often make the cost of each maintenance high and increase the cost of automobile maintenance. In fact, the more such things are added, the better the car will be. Buying a car requires rationality, and maintaining a car requires rationality. Make a maintenance plan according to your personal habits, because the people who know your car best are yourself, not those professional technicians and SA.

Here, there will be a question, do cars have to be maintained by 4S shops? Going to the repair shop outside is the same as changing oil, water and filter elements. Going to the repair shop can save time, effort and worry (because no 4S shop will always sell you this and that). It is true that the basic maintenance cost of a repair shop is more than half cheaper than that of a 4S shop, but you should also consider that the lack of technology or accessories may bring more damage to your car. However, it doesn't mean that every car has to run in a 4S shop. Some car owners can also consider doing some single-room basic maintenance in the repair shop. Therefore, the right choice is still on every car owner. Here, you should first consider the following factors.

The first point is to find a reliable garage when choosing a small insurance.

He can be small, but he must be reliable. If you are a new car, there may be readers who want to vomit when you see this. Where did the repair shop come from? They are all black-hearted ghosts, but we can't generalize, just like there are good people and bad people in this world. Most auto repair practitioners are good, but in the early days of the industry, the huge profits of the auto repair industry made many people black-hearted. Information is so developed now. All industries are basically stripped of secrets, and profits are not as attractive as in the early days. There is no need to move some shady education for some petty profits. Honest management is king. So now reliable and upright auto repair masters and auto repair bosses have also caught a lot.

Second, if you are a new car and a friend who plans to change cars in two or three years, then you should consider the value preservation of the second-hand car. It is recommended to maintain it in the 4S shop all the time.

Because in the past two or three years, cars are basically in a state of basic maintenance, and the cost is generally not very high. Secondly, the car should be sold after changing cars. There are two prices for cars with complete 4S shop maintenance records and cars without maintenance records. (Of course, for friends who can afford luxury cars, the maintenance cost of the entire 4S shop really can't be called money in their eyes, but service and convenience are what they need most. )

Third, if you insist on choosing a garage to insure your new car after the first insurance.

Please remember that the inside of the engine needs to be replaced within three years, and the important parts of the chassis must be repaired in the 4S shop. Don't forget that cars also have a three-guarantee policy, which is something covered by the three-guarantee policy. 4S stores need to provide free replacement. This is the most basic right enjoyed by every car owner.

Finally, I will tell you some common sense that small maintenance will encounter. At the same time of each maintenance cycle, the oil filter must be replaced with oil.

The best effect is to replace the gasoline filter every 1 year or 1 0,000 km, or replace the air conditioner filter every 1 0,000 km, or replace it before using the air conditioner in summer, so as to avoid odor and bacteria when using the air conditioner in summer. Remember to ask the maintenance master to clean it every time. When checking the brake system, it is found that when the brake pads are worn, as long as the wear is not serious, the brakes can be maintained at one time without replacing the brake pads. At the same time, remind the majority of new car owners that new cars must pay attention when they are insured for the first time. Don't be lazy. It is best to watch the whole maintenance process. First, you can understand the whole process of automobile maintenance more clearly. Second, when the new car was first insured, the oil and filter were not very dirty, and the maintenance technician was lazy or did not replace it for other purposes. This has also happened. You can imagine how much damage your car will do to the engine if you run thousands of kilometers with these waste oil filters without replacing the oil filters. This is a real case, don't take it lightly.
