Is the car air conditioner covered by the 4S store warranty if it breaks down?
2 Answers
If not caused by human factors, the air conditioner is covered under warranty during the car's warranty period. Here is relevant information: 1. Human factors: If the damage is caused by human factors, even if the car is still within the "three guarantees" period, the owner still needs to bear the repair costs. 2. Warranty period: The car warranty period refers to the time period during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. Most car manufacturers now implement a new vehicle warranty period, "two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first." That is, there are two conditions for the warranty period: one is a time limit of 2 years; the second is a mileage limit of 60,000 kilometers.
I've been driving for many years, and a broken car air conditioner can really be a headache. I remember last summer when my car's AC suddenly stopped cooling, I drove straight to the 4S shop. They checked it first and said if the car was still under the original factory warranty, like the first three years or so for a new car, air conditioning system failures are covered, meaning they'll repair or replace parts for free. The condition is that you've done regular maintenance on time, with records to prove it's all good. If the warranty has expired, then you'll have to pay out of pocket for repairs. 4S shops usually charge a bit more than independent garages, but their service is more reliable. I suggest you quickly check your owner's manual to confirm the warranty period—don't delay too long, as it gets even more uncomfortable when the weather heats up. If you're really unsure, calling to schedule an inspection is the easiest way—asking doesn't cost anything anyway. Remember, always bring your maintenance records, or they might not honor the warranty.
