What is the difference between buying a car from a car dealership and a 4S store?
1 Answers
Differences between buying a car from a car dealership and a 4S store: Different sources of vehicles: Car dealerships have multiple channels for sourcing vehicles, while 4S stores are usually directly authorized by manufacturers, with vehicles supplied directly from the manufacturer, ensuring higher quality. However, car dealerships offer a wider variety of vehicles, typically sourced from comprehensive brand merchants or secondary dealers who retail from 4S stores, providing better options when purchasing a car. Different after-sales services: Cars bought from 4S stores come with more reliable after-sales services. Even after the warranty period expires, the manufacturer will still honor the warranty. However, this may not be the case for cars bought from secondary dealers or car factories, so 4S stores perform better in terms of after-sales services. If a car bought from a dealership is privately modified or repaired, it may affect the after-sales service even during the warranty period. Higher prices at 4S stores: Many consumers are aware that the more professional the service, the higher the price tends to be. However, this also ensures a certain level of quality, and the time to pick up the car is usually shorter when buying from a 4S store.
