“It’s easy to buy a car, but it’s hard to keep a car.” This makes many private car owners feel helpless. Many car owners told reporters that in addition to high gas prices, what bothers them most is the high maintenance costs: car owners love their cars, and they usually get there. The 4S shop repair station with good service and reliable quality maintains and repairs the car, but every time I spend too much money, I feel distressed. So, how can we make car owners feel at ease maintenance and repair, and save money?
Be careful when replacing parts
In order to pursue profit, some repair stations will advise car owners to replace some unnecessary replacement parts, which will increase the burden on car owners.In this regard, a master at a repair station told reporters that some parts that can be repaired should be repaired as much as possible, and replaced when they cannot be repaired, such as before and afterbumper, Car doors, machine covers, etc., if the collision and bending deformation are not serious, the cost of repairing is much lower than the cost of replacing parts.
The car owners once reported to the author that there are many replacement repairs in 4S shops. In this regard, the head of a repair station reluctantly said that on the one hand, it is because the technical level of the car is getting higher and higher, especially the maintenance of electronic components. It is difficult to guarantee the quality of repairs; on the other hand, manufacturers rarely provide repair stations with equipment or technology for repairing parts, so in many cases they can only rely on replacement.
Price to shop around
In the impression of many consumers, the price of parts and working hours for repair stations and special service stations of the same brand 4S shops should be the same, but this is not the case.The bow chief of Dongfeng Peugeot Yuhua Jiu Rui told reporters that the more commonly usedAccessories, The price of each store is more consistent, because the price of common accessories stipulated by the manufacturer is the same in different 4S stores of the same brand, but some cold accessories (ie, less commonly used accessories), because the frequency of replacement is not high, the price of each store is still The difference, and sometimes there will be a lot of difference.
He explained that the different purchase orders and time of different repair stations will cause different prices for cold parts. Therefore, when replacing, the owner may wish to make a few more calls to compare and replace, which will save a lot of money.
Take advantage of free testing services
In order to establish their own brand image and attract more consumers,carManufacturers hold various free testing activities every year.
In the free inspection activities, some maintenance personnel will take the opportunity to induce car owners to carry out unnecessary maintenance and repair, so as to achieve the purpose of profit. However, as long as the car owner keeps an eye on it, such as going to a different repair station for consultation, or asking an expert friend, he won’t be wasting money.
However, the reporter believes that during the free inspection period, if the owner can spare time, he should go as far as possible, so that the owner can better understand the car's condition and solve some hidden dangers in time.
Usually drive less bumps
For many novices, in addition to normal maintenance, the maintenance cost is the big one. The reporter learned from many brand repair stations that a considerable part of the car owners coming to the store is for sheet metal and spray paint. This cost alone is relatively large. Because it costs hundreds of dollars to spray a car with paint.
The general manager of Dongfeng Peugeot Yuhua Jiurui shop said that for these car owners, the first thing is to find a good insurance company, buy a car damage insurance for their car, and reduce their own losses; in addition, it can only be Be careful when driving by yourself to avoid bumps.
It's okay, don't get into the pit all the time
"Some car owners cherish the car too much. For example, the maintenance period is 5000 kilometers, but he has to change the oil and three filters after running 3000 kilometers or 4000 kilometers." An industry insider said that there is no need for the car owner to do this, just Normal maintenance is sufficient according to the maintenance mileage specified by the manufacturer, and maintenance and replacement prematurely is a waste.
