Do I Need to Go to the 4S Store Where I Bought the Car for Maintenance?
1 Answers
Maintenance does not have to be done at the 4S store where you bought the car. Since all brand 4S stores offer nationwide warranty services, you can go to any 4S store of the same brand for maintenance. Of course, you can also choose professional auto repair shops or general repair shops for car maintenance. The pros and cons of maintenance at 4S stores and outside are as follows: 1. Maintenance at 4S stores: The advantage of maintenance at 4S stores is that you will have a good maintenance record, which can increase the resale value of the car when selling it as a used car. The quality of parts is reliable, and if any quality issues arise during the warranty period, you can file a claim with the manufacturer. However, maintenance at 4S stores is generally more expensive, and some brands may require longer waiting times. 2. Maintenance outside: Professional auto repair shops. These shops have more authoritative technical expertise and do not charge miscellaneous fees. However, due to the high volume of vehicles, the waiting time may be longer. General repair shops. You can bring your own parts for replacement, which significantly reduces the cost. However, the source of parts at repair shops may not be reliable, and there is a risk of substandard parts being used.
