Does Cadillac require the first maintenance in 3 months?
1 Answers
Not necessarily within three months. Generally, since the engine, transmission, etc., of a new car are all brand new, in order to maintain the lifespan of the components, it is stipulated that the first maintenance should be done at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers. This means if you have only driven 2,000 kilometers in 3 months, you still need to go for the first maintenance. Similarly, if you reach 5,000 kilometers in 2 months, you also need to go for the first maintenance. The 3 months or 5,000 kilometers is determined by whichever comes first. After the first maintenance is done, the second maintenance or subsequent ones can be delayed by a month or two without much issue. However, the first maintenance for a new car must be done within three months. This is a mandatory requirement for new car maintenance. The first maintenance time is determined by either the mileage or the stipulated time, whichever comes first. In other words, if the mileage is reached before the time, you need to go for the first maintenance, and if the time is reached before the mileage, you also need to go for the first maintenance. Therefore, once the time is up, you must go; otherwise, it will be considered as forfeiting the warranty. The first maintenance of a car refers to the initial service, which is generally at 5,000 kilometers/6 months (with a few exceptions). Many brand 4S shops, in order to shorten the maintenance cycle for customers, have changed to remind customers to do maintenance at 3,000 kilometers/3 months, with the two values being determined by whichever comes first. The first maintenance is free, but if it is overdue, you will need to pay for the maintenance yourself, and it will be considered as forfeiting the warranty rights. In the future, if there are any quality issues with the car, they will not be covered under warranty.
