It is not mandatory to service the car at a 4S shop during the warranty period, as car owners have the right to choose their preferred maintenance service provider. Servicing the car outside a 4S shop during the warranty period does not affect the car's three-guarantee services. However, it is important to keep all maintenance receipts when servicing elsewhere. Maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car upkeep. The benefits of maintenance include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in optimal performance condition; 2. Improving the vehicle's efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing potential hazards caused by vehicle issues; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Keeping the vehicle's appearance tidy and preventing damage.
