When does the vehicle's first maintenance period start?
1 Answers
Vehicle first maintenance date is calculated as follows: 1. The first maintenance date of a car is calculated from the day of vehicle pickup. 2. The initial maintenance period is generally 3 months or approximately 3000 kilometers. Different car brands have different requirements, which can be referenced in the manual. Points to note for first maintenance: 1. The first maintenance must be done at an authorized 4S dealership. All car manufacturers stipulate that only vehicles with their first maintenance performed at a 4S shop can enjoy the manufacturer's warranty. 2. The first maintenance doesn't necessarily have to be done at the dealership where you purchased the car. It can be performed at any convenient 4S shop nationwide, as all 4S stores are networked. The manufacturer will recognize the first maintenance done at any authorized dealership. 3. When taking your car to a 4S shop for maintenance (whether first or regular), the staff will inspect the vehicle's exterior appearance to check for any damages, clarifying responsibilities between the dealership and owner. 4. Always bring the vehicle warranty booklet when getting the first maintenance done, as it proves your car is under warranty. 5. The warranty booklet contains the first maintenance card. The 4S shop will collect this card during first maintenance and return it to the manufacturer as proof that the initial service was performed, ensuring your vehicle remains under warranty.
