How long does it take for a new car's first maintenance?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the first maintenance takes about 1-2 hours. The purpose of the first car maintenance is: to reduce vehicle noise and environmental pollution; to keep the vehicle appearance clean and prevent damage; to avoid vehicle problems and dangerous accidents; to ensure the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; to improve the vehicle's utilization rate and reduce the consumption of its parts. The first car maintenance is performed at around 6 months or 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, and the items include: 1. Replace the engine oil, oil filter, gasoline filter, and air filter. 2. Check the car chassis, all switches, and lights to ensure they are working properly. 3. Adjust the tire pressure.
The first maintenance for a new car is quite quick. When I got my first car, I also asked similar questions. It usually takes only 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to complete, mainly involving an oil change, oil filter replacement, and basic inspection. If you have an appointment, you can drive straight into the shop, and if the mechanic works efficiently, the car can be ready in half an hour. Without an appointment, you might wait a bit longer, but it generally won’t affect your weekend plans. The break-in period inspection is crucial to prevent minor issues from becoming major ones. Just remember to bring the maintenance manual—it’s time well spent. After that, perform similar maintenance every 5,000 kilometers.
