What materials are needed for the first car maintenance?

Car maintenance manual, warranty certificate, maintenance card, and driving license. Here is more information about car maintenance: 1. Precautions: Maintenance of the car engine, prevention of evaporation of gasoline and water, replacement of car wipers, renewal of car mats, and maintenance of the car body. 2. Maintenance cycle: Brake fluid must be replaced every two years or 50,000 kilometers, and the brake warning system and brake booster must be checked; for manual transmission vehicles, the transmission gear oil should be replaced every 12 months or 5,000 kilometers. Cars equipped with automatic transmissions should regularly check the transmission gear oil, and the gear oil should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers.

As a new car owner, I was very excited for my first car maintenance. Bringing the vehicle's owner's manual is crucial as it contains the free service coupon and detailed instructions for the first maintenance. It's also essential to carry my identification documents, such as a driver's license or passport, to prove I'm the vehicle owner. A copy of the vehicle registration certificate is important too, allowing the service center to verify the information. Don't forget the car keys, as the technician needs to start the engine for inspection. Keep the purchase invoice or contract handy in case of dealer benefits. I also recommend making an appointment in advance and checking the maintenance deadline in the manual to avoid expiration. The maintenance process usually involves an oil change and basic servicing, and having all the materials ready can save time and prevent extra trips. Last time, I forgot the manual and wasted half an hour waiting, so now I've developed a habit of keeping everything in a folder. After the maintenance, be sure to ask about the next service date to keep the car in good condition.

Having driven for over a decade and experienced multiple first-time maintenance services, I always prepare the following materials: the vehicle manual is the most essential, containing the service code; ID card for quick verification; original vehicle license for the repair shop's records; car keys to ensure the technician can operate the vehicle; and purchase receipts which might qualify for a first-time discount. I also bring some cash as a backup in case of unexpected charges; booking an appointment online in advance reduces waiting time, and having all materials ready ensures a one-time completion. The first maintenance focuses on inspecting the chassis and engine to protect the new car's lifespan. Forgetting materials may lead to rework—I once delayed work due to this, a lesson learned the hard way. Keeping documents complete also ensures smooth subsequent warranty services.

Taking care of my car for daily family use is as meticulous as maintaining a house. I always bring all necessary materials: the maintenance card from the vehicle manual for easy registration; my identification such as a driver's license; a copy of the vehicle registration to avoid loss; car keys for the technician to access; and the purchase receipt which might save money. It's advisable to ask the service center in advance about what's needed to avoid spending extra time with kids in unfamiliar places. Maintenance is a great opportunity to check the air conditioning and seat belts—bringing all materials ensures smooth service. Every time I go for maintenance, I check the car interior and remove valuables to prevent loss. After maintenance, remember to collect the service record—safety always comes first.
