Some owners out of the three package period no longer return to the 4S shop maintenance, is it right?
It is important to know that going to the 4S shop for maintenance is not only to change the oil and filter, but also to check the whole car and eliminate hidden dangers. It has to be analyzed from the advantages and disadvantages;
Advantages of going to a 4S shop for maintenance:
First, professional personnel are the guarantee of maintenance quality. 4S shop after-sales service staff is very professional quality, training a maintenance staff to two or three years; Every employee of after-sales service has a solid theoretical foundation before entering the store. Only such people are allowed to carry out maintenance and repair operations.
Two, the 4S shop has more professional maintenance and testing tools and equipment, can provide more comprehensive testing and maintenance, timely detection of problems and eliminate hidden dangers, owners drive on the road more secure.
3. The 4S shop can get full support from the manufacturer, including technical drawings and technical guidance, which is why some vehicles can't be repaired outside, so they just know to go back to the 4S shop to solve.
Four, in the 4S store, maintenance operation procedures are quite strict, driving how many kilometers after the need for maintenance, replacement of parts, each process of charge standards are clearly stipulated, so that customers at a glance.
However, most of the reasons why car owners are reluctant to go to 4S shops are because of the high price:
The 4S shop price is more expensive than some of the so-called regular overhaul factory, and the answer given by the 4S shop is: the original parts, the professional maintenance personnel, maintenance quality assurance and continuity, which all cause the high cost of maintenance and maintenance. But as for this statement owners agree or disagree;
And some private repair shop maintenance vehicles also have some hidden dangers:
1. There is no maintenance record after maintenance, and no comprehensive reference for the vehicle fault system.
2, in order to reduce costs, some illegal shops may use non-original parts and fake parts.
3, the maintenance personnel have not passed the professional certification training of the brand manufacturers, the model system experience is insufficient.
4, if the use of non-original parts will cause abnormal function of the vehicle, but also affect the normal operation of other parts, resulting in more serious problems.
5. There is no way to complain about the quality after maintenance.
6. Vehicles with complete maintenance and repair records in 4S shops will be sold at a higher price in the later period, especially those with incomplete maintenance records of accident cars, because second-hand cars will directly think that the maintenance of this car is auxiliary parts, which will greatly discount the price of the vehicle.
So for the owners, if the vehicle is just some basic maintenance and simple maintenance, you can choose some repair shops outside, but also to see a regular business qualification, if it is some about safety maintenance, it is recommended to choose the regular 4S shop as well, but also for safety more insurance;
