Is the first maintenance mandatory within three months for Geely vehicles?

Geely vehicles must undergo their first maintenance within three months. Regulations for the first maintenance of vehicles: The regulations for the first maintenance of vehicles are divided into two indicators: time and mileage (check price for details). Whichever comes first will be the determining factor. Exceeding either the time or mileage limit will affect the vehicle's warranty. Regardless of the brand, the first maintenance is provided free of charge by the 4S store. However, some 4S stores are very strict about the time limit. If the three-month period is exceeded, the vehicle will be considered as having automatically forfeited the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, the 4S store will not provide warranty services for any quality issues that arise. Documents required for the first maintenance: Vehicle registration certificate and purchase invoice. The first maintenance for a new vehicle is usually required within 3,500 kilometers or within six months of purchase, whichever comes first. Vehicle quality assurance certificate. The quality assurance certificate includes a first maintenance card, which lists the free services provided during the first maintenance. This card must be presented during the first maintenance. Before the first maintenance, it is advisable to make a phone appointment to confirm all required documents and to avoid congestion and long queues. If the six-month period or 3,500 kilometers is exceeded, a vehicle inspection will be required during the first maintenance.
I've been driving a Geely car for some years. I remember when I bought the car, the 4S store reminded me that the first maintenance should be done around six months or 5,000 kilometers, so don't be scared by the three-month suggestion. My car hadn't even reached half the mileage at three months, so delaying it to six months was no problem, and that's also what the manual says. Unless you drive long distances every day or the road conditions are poor, causing the oil to degrade faster, then earlier maintenance might be better. Forgetting the first maintenance could affect the warranty, so set a phone reminder and don't exceed the limit. Simply put, three months isn't mandatory, but frequent checks are good for the car's health and can save you from future repair troubles.
