Is the maintenance cost of Lynk & Co high?
3 Answers
Lynk & Co's maintenance cost is slightly higher compared to models in the same class and price range. More information about Lynk & Co is as follows: 1. Introduction to Lynk & Co: The Lynk & Co brand was born in Sweden, with its father being the Chinese private enterprise Geely Automobile Group and its mother being the Swedish Volvo Cars. The new car represents a new business model, offering personalized services brought by open interconnectivity technology, including a sharing program developed for this car for the first time. This bold and technology-packed compact SUV (internal code name 01) concept car is the first fruit of the marriage between Geely and Volvo, based on the compact modular production platform. 2. Goals of Lynk & Co: The automotive industry has successfully refined design and engineering over the decades, but customer values and preferences have changed significantly. It's time for us to move towards the future and shape a comprehensive solution for a mobile lifestyle. Lynk & Co aims to achieve globally leading models at prices closest to the people, thus facing challenges and redesigns at every design stage. The goal is to redefine how people buy and own a car that enables daily use and maintenance through interconnectivity technology.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for over two years, and maintenance really depends on how you take care of it. For basic maintenance like oil and oil filter changes, the 4S shop quotes over 800 yuan, which is indeed more expensive than ordinary domestic cars. However, Lynk & Co offers a lifetime warranty policy, and getting maintenance done elsewhere might affect the warranty. Let me highlight the parts: the original air filter costs over 300 yuan, the cabin air filter is 280 yuan, plus labor costs. But the manufacturer often gives out maintenance coupons—I didn’t pay for my first and second services. I recommend keeping an eye on the Lynk & Co APP for promotions; last year, I snagged a 50% off maintenance package, which was a great deal. For simple tasks like oil changes, bringing your own materials to a chain quick-service shop can save you 300-400 yuan.
Lynk & Co maintenance costs are mainly higher due to parts and labor. A colleague's 01 just had service last week - full synthetic oil plus three filters cost 1400 RMB. The technician's disassembly process was indeed more complex than my old car. But Lynk & Co owner groups share tips: use the manufacturer's free maintenance services for basic items, then switch to aftermarket filters (same size) when paying out of pocket - dealerships actually allow bringing your own consumables. Another pro tip: the maintenance manual requires chassis bolt inspections every 10,000 km - this can be done at Tuhu for half the labor cost. Sticking to core services only can keep annual costs under 1500 RMB.
