Where to Maintain Parallel Imported Vehicles?
1 Answers
Parallel imported vehicles should be maintained at the authorized service centers of their respective brands. Parallel imported cars come with warranties, albeit provided by third-party contractors. Vehicles sold in free trade zones typically require customers to purchase whole vehicle warranty insurance. This insurance is divided into two types: powertrain warranty and comprehensive vehicle warranty, with the former primarily covering major vehicle components. Additional Information: 1. The replacement warranty is valid for two years or 50,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), while the warranty for wear-and-tear parts lasts one month or 2,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Therefore, any vehicle purchased through legitimate parallel import dealers must be covered by warranty services. 2. Most repair shops designated by warranty companies are Class 1 facilities, ensuring quality in both automotive parts and repair technology. Additionally, if the insurance company providing the warranty has a cooperative relationship with 4S stores, consumers may also choose to receive after-sales services at the brand's 4S stores based on their needs.
