There will be no trouble with maintenance and repair when purchasing a car in a different location. Nowadays, for maintenance and repair, any 4S store of the same brand across the country can provide these services. Introduction to Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Purpose of Annual Inspection: The annual inspection of a car is to promptly eliminate potential technical safety hazards, urge car owners to maintain and repair their cars on time, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. For the sake of social safety and personal safety, car owners should conduct the annual inspection of their cars in a timely manner.
I previously bought a new car in a neighboring city and encountered some minor issues after driving it back to my local area. When I went for the first maintenance at the 4S store near my home, they insisted on seeing proof of out-of-town purchase for the free service, which made me go back to retrieve the original documents. Later, oil and filter changes went smoothly, but during more complex repairs, the local technicians weren’t familiar with some customized configurations of the out-of-town purchase. Once, I had to wait three days for parts to be shipped when fixing the rearview camera. However, as long as the maintenance records are complete within the 4S system, repairs are generally hassle-free. I recommend buying a brand with nationwide warranty coverage and bringing a copy of the purchase invoice for each service to save trouble. For repairs, calling ahead to confirm parts availability can save a lot of time.
