During the new car warranty period, it is necessary to go to a 4S store for maintenance. After the warranty period expires, it is not necessarily required to go to a 4S store for maintenance. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. Maintenance process: First, avoid driving too aggressively; slow down and fasten your seatbelt to ensure personal safety. Ladies should avoid driving in high heels. Regularly change the engine oil, filters, etc., for your car. Spending a small amount periodically can save you big money and provide greater safety while driving. Keep a tire pressure gauge handy and check the tires regularly to prevent aging. 2. Maintenance parts: (1) Basic maintenance: Engine oil and oil filter are part of basic maintenance. (2) Full vehicle inspection: Comprehensive maintenance of the entire vehicle. (3) Deep maintenance: Thorough cleaning and care of major vehicle systems. Without disrupting the original factory specifications, conduct comprehensive care for all components. After all, a car is three parts repair and seven parts maintenance. Proper maintenance not only significantly reduces the failure rate but also further extends the overall lifespan of the vehicle.

Is it common to replace only the front two tires for a sedan?

It is recommended to replace both tires together, ensuring the tread patterns match on both sides. Tire specifications and models: Tires are critical components of a vehicle, and they come in various specifications and models, each suited for different vehicle types. The specifications are typically marked on the tire sidewall as a series of alphanumeric characters, indicating the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. Speed rating: Tire speed ratings are categorized from A to Z based on the maximum speed they can sustain, with the A rating further divided into eight sub-levels (A1-A8). A letter closer to the end of the alphabet indicates better tire performance.

What Are the Reasons for Failing to Register a Used Car After Transferring Its Files?

The reason is that the vehicle's emission standards do not meet the emission standards of the receiving location. Some precautions for used car transfers are as follows: The property certificate must be legal: Pay special attention to the embossed number, engine number, and registration date on the property certificate. Besides verification, also check for any signs of alteration, as alterations are often indicative of fraudulent transactions. Check for any traffic violations: Before transferring a used car, verify whether the vehicle has any traffic violation records and whether it is within the validity period of the compulsory traffic insurance. Only vehicles with no violation records and valid insurance can proceed with the transfer. Generally, vehicles with outstanding violations cannot be transferred until the violations are resolved. Vehicle purchase tax payment receipt: Always check the original tax receipt of the used car during the transfer process. Some cars may not have paid the purchase tax, and after the transfer, these unpaid or tax-exempt vehicles may be required to pay the purchase tax, which can be a significant expense. Therefore, it is crucial to determine who will cover this cost.
