Last time I took my car for its first service at the 4S dealership. They first replaced the engine oil and oil filter, explaining that metal debris from the engine break-in period needed to be cleaned out. Then they checked all the chassis bolts for looseness, measured the tire pressure on all four wheels and adjusted it to the standard value. They tested all the lights from headlights to brake lights, and even removed and blew out the air filter. Surprisingly, they connected a computer to the vehicle's ECU to scan for error codes, and even lubricated the door hinges. The technician said the first service for a new car is like giving it a full physical check-up, and recommended that I come in for maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. The whole process took two hours, and they even gave me a complimentary car wash at the end.
