Is there a time limit for the free maintenance provided by 4S stores?

4S stores generally provide a warranty period where the first maintenance for vehicles is typically limited to three months or 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to vehicle warranty: 1. Overview: Car maintenance, also known as vehicle servicing, refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. 2. Includes: Car maintenance mainly involves the upkeep of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., aiming to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, and extend the service life. 3. Content: Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance tasks performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter.
Hey, speaking of the free maintenance offered by 4S shops, I also thought about it when I bought my car. There are usually time restrictions, such as having to use it within one year after purchase, otherwise the maintenance coupons will expire. This is a measure by the shop to prevent you from delaying too long and affecting the vehicle warranty or service schedule. I've also seen mileage restrictions, such as not exceeding 5,000 kilometers. I recommend you check the date on the discount card or contract given at the time of purchase so you don't miss the free opportunity. Some shops may be lenient for a few days after expiration, but it's not common, so it's best to book an inspection as early as possible. The first few maintenance sessions for a new car are important and can save you a few hundred bucks. If you miss the deadline, you'll have to pay out of pocket, which isn't cost-effective at all. Regular maintenance can also make the car run smoother and extend its lifespan.
