Can vehicle maintenance be done outside of a 4S dealership?

[MarleyRose]

Vehicle maintenance can indeed be performed outside of a 4S dealership. However, for more technically demanding repairs and maintenance tasks, it is generally advisable to have them carried out at a 4S dealership. Once the vehicle has exceeded the three-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty period, owners may opt for smaller repair shops for maintenance services. It is crucial, however, to select reputable and reliable repair shops. Vehicle maintenance, also known as vehicle servicing, involves regular preventive measures such as inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain components of the vehicle. It primarily encompasses the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, among others, aiming to keep the vehicle in good condition, ensure normal technical performance, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, and extend the vehicle's service life.
