Is the Free Maintenance Provided by 4S Stores Nationwide Applicable?

[DeMia]

If the free maintenance provided by the 4S store is the first maintenance or others listed in the maintenance manual, it is generally a gift from the manufacturer to the car owner, and thus can be used nationwide. As long as you bring the vehicle's invoice and maintenance manual, you can go to any 4S store of the same brand nationwide for maintenance. However, in other cases, it may be a sales promotion by the 4S store and cannot be used nationwide; it must be used at the 4S store where the car was purchased. Relevant information about 4S maintenance is as follows: 1. Free maintenance provided by the 4S store does not cost money: If the 4S store clearly lists the free maintenance items as gifts, no payment is required. However, after maintenance at the 4S store, the after-sales staff may generally recommend the car owner to undertake some other non-free projects. 2. What does the 4S store's offer of three years and six free maintenance services include: It generally includes conventional engine oil and oil filters, such as oil pan plugs (gaskets), air filters, fuel filters, cabin air filters, spark plugs, and corresponding labor costs. More formal 4S stores, when selling cars, may offer such packages. Therefore, in cases where the car is not driven frequently or the mileage is relatively short, the car owner can choose to go for regular maintenance.
