Can I get my car serviced at a 4S shop on Sunday?
2 Answers
4S shops can service cars on Sundays because they belong to the service industry, which has staff on duty during weekends, including regular holidays. The purpose of car maintenance: Car maintenance mainly involves daily upkeep of the vehicle, aiming to keep the car clean, eliminate potential hazards, prevent component damage, and extend the vehicle's lifespan. Regular car maintenance is divided into two types: minor maintenance, which includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, and major maintenance, which generally involves a comprehensive check-up of the entire car. Major maintenance items include replacing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and fuel filter. Common knowledge about car maintenance: The engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers, brake fluid should be checked and replenished regularly, and spark plugs should be inspected and replaced periodically. Normal spark plugs have intact insulating ceramics. Tire pressure should be checked regularly and maintained at an appropriate level—neither too high nor too low. Minor maintenance is usually performed every 5,000 kilometers, while major maintenance is typically done every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
I'm busy on weekdays, so I often go to the 4S shop for maintenance on weekends, such as changing the engine oil or checking the brakes. Whether they are open on Sundays depends on the specific shop. Some large chain stores of big brands are open until evening, but smaller ones might be closed. I think it's best to call ahead or check the business hours on their official website. Last time I didn't make an appointment and ended up waiting for a long time, which was a waste of time. Now I book my appointment online and also ask if there are any discounts. Maintenance isn't just about changing filters; it also includes tire balancing or suspension checks to avoid breakdowns on the road. If you drive a lot, small issues can accumulate into big problems, so safety comes first.
