What should I pay attention to when going for my first car maintenance?

Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance, and be sure to bring your driver's license, maintenance manual, and warranty manual. Record any daily abnormalities and problems and inform the staff. Here is more information about car maintenance: 1. Maintenance frequency: The first maintenance should be done at 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. After the first maintenance, it needs to be maintained every 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Some cars require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. Maintenance advantages: Restore the vehicle's performance to the best condition, prevent small problems from becoming big problems, ensure the safety of the vehicle, as well as better economy and longer service life.
The first maintenance service is quite important. I recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid wasting time waiting in line. Remember to bring the maintenance manual and vehicle warranty card, otherwise the 4S shop might not provide the free first service. When at the dealership, don't get talked into unnecessary add-ons like engine cleaning or AC sterilization - these are optional. Just stick to the oil and filter change specified in the manual. Keep an eye on the technician's work: check if they're using the correct oil specification and whether the new oil container is opened in front of you. Clarify the charges for each item on the maintenance checklist before signing, and keep the receipt properly as these records can increase your car's resale value later. Finally, confirm the next service interval - typically every 5,000 km or 6 months.
