Haval H4 2019 model can be maintained outside, but if you do maintenance outside, the 4S shop will not provide warranty service. Therefore, it is recommended to go for outside maintenance only after the warranty period has expired. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

I've been driving a Haval H4 2019 model for several years, and getting it serviced outside is completely fine as long as you find the right place. Regular repair shops can handle basic maintenance like oil changes and filter replacements at much lower costs than 4S dealerships. However, be aware that servicing your car outside during the warranty period might void the warranty, making it difficult to claim compensation if something goes wrong. So, it's advisable to keep all maintenance receipts and use original or equivalent quality parts, such as 5W-30 specification oil—don't just go for the cheapest option. I regularly visit a chain auto repair shop where the owner is familiar with Haval models and does a professional job. They also check minor components like brakes and tires during service, saving both money and hassle.

As an average car owner, I prefer maintaining my Haval H4 at independent garages mainly due to budget constraints. A minor service at 4S dealerships costs 600-700 yuan, while the same items like oil changes and air filter replacements only cost 100-200 yuan outside. Finding a reputable repair shop is crucial - my friend recommended one that uses genuine parts at fair prices. During warranty period, just ensure complete maintenance records are kept; I photograph documents to avoid disputes. Before daily drives, check battery fluid and lighting systems - address minor issues immediately before they worsen. This approach saves money reliably.

As a Haval H4 owner, I didn't dare to get maintenance outside during the warranty period. External repair shops lack experience, and if something goes wrong, the manufacturer won't cover the loss, which could be significant. Now that the warranty has expired, I'm free to choose where to get maintenance, such as changing the oil or brake pads, which can be done for a few hundred yuan. Remember to find a professional mechanic, avoid using inferior parts, and ensure the oil specifications match. Pay attention to the maintenance frequency, with inspections every six months or 5,000 kilometers—safety first.
