Is it necessary to go to a 4S store for post-purchase car maintenance?
1 Answers
New car maintenance does not necessarily require going to a 4S store. Here are the relevant details about car maintenance: 1. During the new car warranty period, it is mandatory to go to a 4S store for maintenance. The length of the warranty period varies by brand, which can be checked in the vehicle manual provided at the time of purchase or by directly inquiring at the 4S store. 2. After the warranty period expires, you can go to external repair shops, but make sure to choose a trustworthy one. 3. According to the "Motor Vehicle Maintenance Management Regulations" revised after 2017, it is clearly stipulated: manufacturers and 4S stores cannot refuse warranty services on the grounds that the vehicle was not maintained at an authorized service center, meaning car owners are free to choose their maintenance provider.
