Is the First Car Maintenance Free?
2 Answers
Car first maintenance is free. Below are the contents and precautions for the first car maintenance: Contents of the first car maintenance: Tighten the engine compartment and inspect and tighten all mechanical connection parts and nuts; check the tire tread and pressure, and remove small stones and other debris from the tires; replace the engine oil and oil filter; use software to check the vehicle's electronic system, inspect and adjust all lights, and check the shock absorbers and braking system; add lubricating oil, inspect the front and rear door hinges, automatic opening and closing of doors and sunroof glass, and check the chassis condition. Precautions for the first car maintenance: According to relevant regulations, if the first maintenance date is exceeded, it will be considered as voluntarily giving up the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, future quality issues with the car will not be guaranteed. Therefore, car owners must not miss the first maintenance period.
I asked the same question when I just bought my new car. From my own experience, the first car maintenance is usually free, but it depends on the brand and purchase conditions. For example, the Toyota I bought clearly stated free first maintenance in the contract, including oil change, oil filter inspection, and basic debugging, which is particularly important for new engine break-in and can prevent early wear problems. If it's not free, it might be the dealer playing tricks, so when buying a car, you must clarify with the salesperson and include the free terms in the contract. Remember one thing, new cars must be maintained around the first 5,000 kilometers to extend the car's lifespan. I myself made an appointment with the 4S store in advance, they provided thoughtful service and didn't cost me anything, which felt quite worthwhile. Now, after driving for more than a year, the car still runs smoothly. I recommend everyone not to skip this step to avoid spending thousands of dollars on engine repairs later.
