Do 4S shops offer free inspections?
2 Answers
4S shops offer free inspection services. These generally include a full vehicle light check, brake system inspection, tire inspection, chassis inspection, and electronic equipment inspection. Below is additional information: 1. Vehicle Inspection: After a vehicle has been driven for a period of time, various components undergo wear and tear. It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the engine, chassis, electrical systems, and all vehicle fluids to identify potential faults in advance and ensure driving safety. 4S shops employ professionally trained technicians, specialized computer diagnostic equipment, professional tools, and fluid analyzers to perform more professional inspections. 2. Routine Inspection and Maintenance: To ensure the safe and reliable operation of a vehicle and to keep it in good technical condition, complying with the technical standards for safe vehicle operation, in addition to regular maintenance and repair, preventive routine inspections and maintenance should also be conducted.
When I first bought my car, I also wondered if the 4S shop would offer free inspections. After checking, I found that most 4S shops do have free services, especially within the first six months after purchasing a new car or during promotional seasons. They will check basic items like tire wear and the brake system for free, which is a way to attract repeat customers. As a new car owner, I was quite happy that this could save me money, but later I learned that not all inspections are free—for example, in-depth repairs or computer diagnostics come with a fee. I suggest you go directly to the 4S shop and ask; don’t be shy. Getting clarity can help you avoid being upsold on additional services. Also, always pay attention to your car’s condition while driving—fixing small issues early can save you a lot of money.
