From which day does the first maintenance period start?
1 Answers
The first maintenance date of a car is calculated from the day of vehicle delivery. The initial operation period is generally around 3 months or 3,000 kilometers. Different car brands have varying requirements, so it's advisable to refer to the owner's manual. Below is more information about the first maintenance: 1. After a new car is delivered, the 4S store usually requires the owner to perform the first maintenance within 3,000 kilometers. However, the manufacturer typically mandates completing the first maintenance within 5,000 kilometers. Therefore, it's crucial not to exceed 5,000 kilometers before the first maintenance. Failing to follow the normal maintenance schedule as per the user manual means forfeiting the warranty, and the 4S store and manufacturer have the right to refuse warranty claims. 2. If the car is driven infrequently and doesn't reach 3,000 kilometers for a long time, it's recommended to perform the first maintenance within three months. 3. When purchasing the car, sales personnel might mention offering several free maintenance services. In reality, the first maintenance is already free, so no additional offers are needed. If they offer three free maintenance services, including the first one, there should be a total of four free maintenance services. 4. Essentially, the first maintenance only requires changing the engine oil and oil filter. If the 4S store suggests other paid maintenance items, they can be declined. However, free services like checking tire pressure and ensuring lights are functioning properly must be performed.
