4S stores provide routine maintenance services including engine oil and oil filter replacement, which primarily targets the lubrication system for maintenance. Maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The benefits of maintenance include: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; 2. Improving vehicle efficiency and reducing the wear of parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing vehicle issues that could lead to hazards; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Keeping the vehicle's appearance clean and preventing damage.
After driving for so many years, the routine maintenance provided by 4S shops generally includes changing the engine oil and oil filter, checking whether the air filter needs to be replaced, inspecting tire pressure and wear, testing the brake system and lights, and sometimes also checking coolant levels and battery health. These are basic items aimed at ensuring the car runs smoothly and preventing minor issues from turning into major repairs. I remember one time when I didn’t get maintenance on time, the brake pads wore out too quickly, costing me a lot of unnecessary money. So, I’d like to remind everyone not to waste the free maintenance services—making good use of them can save both hassle and money. However, the specific details depend on the 4S shop’s service package agreement. When buying a car, it’s best to clarify the details and not just believe the advertisements.
