Can I go to a 4S shop for maintenance after servicing outside?

You can go to a 4S shop for maintenance after servicing outside. Car maintenance items: Major maintenance items include engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. As for spark plugs, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, there is no fixed mileage for replacement. Major maintenance is based on minor maintenance, and in addition to engine oil and oil filter, air filter and fuel filter are also replaced. These two filters serve to filter dust from the air and impurities from the fuel. Benefits of car maintenance: Ensures driving safety, reduces vehicle fuel consumption, extends the lifespan of the car, and reduces the failure rate of car components.
Yes, you can definitely get your car serviced outside and then go to a 4S shop for maintenance. As someone who loves tinkering with cars, I think this is quite common. If you've had routine maintenance done outside, such as an oil change or filter replacement, the 4S shop usually won't refuse to service your car. The key is whether the previous maintenance was done properly and whether original or equivalent-quality parts were used. If cheap non-original parts were used, there might be compatibility issues, and the 4S shop may need to conduct additional checks during repairs to avoid potential risks. I've seen many car owners transition this way, but I recommend bringing your previous maintenance records for the 4S shop technicians to evaluate. Regular maintenance is crucial for the overall condition of your car—don’t compromise safety to save money. In short, flexibility is fine, but make sure service standards remain consistent to avoid major issues down the road.
