What are the consequences of not attending the first car maintenance?
1 Answers
The first maintenance is a comprehensive initial inspection of the car. If problems or faults occur during use, they may go unnoticed without the first maintenance, posing significant safety hazards. Additionally, the first maintenance is free; if skipped, you will have to pay for it later. If there are mechanical issues and the first maintenance is not attended, the manufacturer may likely refuse to provide warranty coverage. Here is relevant information about the first car maintenance: 1. The first maintenance for a new car must include inspection and replacement of six major components. It is essential to change the engine oil and oil filter, and clean the air filter. Check whether the coolant level is normal. Inspect the car's brakes and undercarriage components for any scratches. Verify the power steering fluid level and check for any oil leaks at the pipe connections. Examine the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the condition of the belts for aging and tension. Also, check the tire pressure and wear; if there is uneven wear, perform tire rotation. 2. The first maintenance has two indicators: mileage and time, whichever comes first. Exceeding either will affect the warranty. It's worth noting that according to relevant regulations, exceeding the first maintenance date is considered as voluntarily forfeiting the right to it. If the first maintenance is not performed, any future quality issues with the car will not be covered under warranty. Car owners should pay close attention to the dealer's reminders and must not miss the first maintenance deadline.
