Maintenance tips

Don't change the filter every time in regular maintenance

Usually the car owner will change 4 filters in regular maintenance. For engine oil filter and engine oil, they must be changed due to the driving mileage; for air filter, gasoline filter, and air conditioning filter, it’s unnecessary to change every time. According to the driving condition, you can change them once in every other time. The premise is that the technician needs to make sure the car parts are not damaged. In addition, the routine maintenance time is based on the mileage, but sometimes it can be extended. If your car is running in a better road condition, you can extend the maintenance time from 5000 km to 6000 km.

Pay more attention on parts replacing

For the profit, some maintenance shops will recommend the car owner to change some car parts which are unnecessary to change at all. In fact, some parts can be repaired, for example, the front and rear bumpers, doors, canopy and so on. If they got slight collision and bending, the cost of recovery is far cheaper than replacing them.

Compare the prices

Some consumers will think that the price of car parts and hourly wage are the same in the same brand of maintenance shops and designated stores, but it’s not true. For common parts, the price is more identical; but for some unpopular parts, the prices sometimes are very different. Since the different purchase time, the price of unpopular parts will be different. Shop around for price comparison is better for you.

Take fully advantage of free testing services

In order to set up the brand image and attract more customers, now major domestic car manufacturers will hold various car test activities. In the activity, some maintenance staff will induce the car owner to do some unnecessary maintenance for their own profit reason. However, as long as the car owners ask around in different shops or ask some experts, they can still save money.

Reduce the collision

For beginners, besides regular maintenance, the repair fees are most costly. Mostly the car owners will do panel beating and car painting, and just a little bit of paint will cost a lot. For car owners, the most important thing is to buy a nice insurance for their cars to reduce the lost, moreover, pay more attention to driving.

Don’t go to the maintenance shop too often

Some car owners care about their cars too much. They replace the engine oil and filters in every 3000 or 4000 km while the regular interval is 5000 km. It’s absolutely unnecessary. Maintain your car following the regular maintenance interval will be just fine for your car. Some car owners will get too nervous about small problems of cars; in fact, these small problems don’t really matter and are normal for cars.
