Maintenance services performed at a 4S dealership include: 1. Checking engine oil and oil filter; 2. Inspecting spark plugs; 3. Checking brake fluid and power steering fluid; 4. Inspecting transmission fluid; 5. Checking antifreeze/coolant; 6. Examining timing belt; 7. Cleaning fuel system; 8. Cleaning lubrication system; 9. Air conditioning disinfection; 10. Four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing. The purpose of vehicle maintenance is to maintain a clean appearance, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent failures, slow down deterioration processes, and extend the service life. Modern vehicle maintenance mainly covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other maintenance scopes.
I usually drive to and from work, and every time I go to the 4S shop for maintenance, they do a pretty thorough job. After making an appointment, upon arrival, the service staff first records the car's information, and then the mechanic lifts the car to change the engine oil and oil filter, which is the basic service. Next, they check the brake system, measure the thickness to see if replacement is needed, and also test the tire pressure and wear to ensure safety on the highway. They also check the battery charge, coolant level, and clean the air filter to prevent odors. The brake fluid and transmission oil are inspected as well, and occasionally, lubricant is added to the suspension components. The whole process takes about two hours, during which I wait in the lounge area drinking free coffee and browsing my phone. After the maintenance, they give me a report pointing out if the tires are almost worn out or the brake pads are thin, and I decide whether to repair them on the spot. Regular maintenance like this keeps the car running smoothly with fewer problems.
