Certainly, snow chains can help reduce traffic accidents for vehicles. Snow chains: Typically made of steel or rubber chains, they provide anti-slip functionality. Based on structure, snow chains can be divided into two types. One type is pre-connected into a cover-like snow chain; the other involves cross-installing several separate chains, which is simpler and cheaper but less convenient to install than the former. Precautions: Install snow chains before setting out, not after encountering icy or snowy roads. Temporary installation during a stop is more troublesome and less safe than pre-installation. Before installation or removal, park the vehicle in a safe area. If on a busy road, set up necessary traffic warning signs. Do not install snow chains on a flat tire. Snow chains also have size restrictions, designed for different wheel hub sizes and tire widths, so choose chains that match your wheel dimensions. After installation, driving speed should generally not exceed 40 km/h, and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration as much as possible. Remove the snow chains promptly when driving on roads where they are no longer needed.

Should car maintenance be done at a 4S shop or outside?

For maintenance and repairs, it is advisable to choose a 4S shop as it offers better after-sales service. For vehicles out of warranty, maintenance can be done outside at a lower cost. However, it is recommended to replace transmission oil, differential oil, and fuel filters at a 4S shop for better assurance. Advantages and disadvantages of 4S shops and repair shops: 1. 4S shops: They are more professional and can provide comprehensive solutions, but there may be cases where a small faulty part leads to the replacement of the entire component. 2. Repair shops: They are cheaper and more experienced in handling minor issues. They often specialize in certain car models, ensuring a certain level of professionalism and offering solutions that are relatively official. However, their skill levels vary, and they may lack the expertise and professional equipment for certain car models, resulting in poor after-sales service.
