Do 4S stores provide fire extinguishers for new cars?
2 Answers
Fire extinguishers are not standard equipment for new cars, and new cars do not come with fire extinguishers. It depends on the local 4S store. The following is a related introduction about 4S stores: 1. Introduction: The full name of a 4S store is Automobile Sales Service 4S Store (Automobile-Sales-Servicshop-4S), which is a car sales enterprise integrating vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). 2. Demand: The emergence of 4S stores can just meet the various needs of users. It can provide well-equipped and clean maintenance areas, modern equipment and service management, a highly professional atmosphere, well-maintained service facilities, sufficient spare parts supply, and a rapid and timely tracking service system. Through the services of 4S stores, users can develop a sense of trust in the brand, thereby increasing sales.
To be honest, I’ve thought about this when buying a car. Currently, national regulations don’t mandate that vehicles must be equipped with fire extinguishers, so the vast majority of 4S shops won’t proactively provide one with a new car. However, it depends on the situation: for mid-to-high-end models or during special promotions, sales might include it as a freebie in the purchase package. Last time I picked up my car, I directly asked the salesperson, and he said buying one separately at the dealership would cost 150 yuan, but I ended up getting a 1kg dry powder extinguisher for 50 yuan at an auto parts market. It’s actually good to equip one yourself—while the chance of a car catching fire is small, it’s not worth the risk. Keeping a fire extinguisher and warning triangle in the trunk can be lifesaving in emergencies and also helps avoid issues during annual inspections. Don’t expect 4S shops to give it for free; you have to ask proactively to get a chance.
