How much does it cost for a 4S shop to repair a 100,000-kilometer car in 6 years?

Will a self-owned brand car that has been running for 100,000 kilometers for 6 years resist construction? The first impression of many people is that the quality of the independent brand is definitely not good. It may be overhauled if it can drive to 100,000 kilometers, especially the car of 6 years ago, which must fall apart. It just so happens that our company has such a work car, a Chery A3 that has been running for nearly 110,000 kilometers for 6 years, and it is just about to catch up with its 6-year inspection deadline, and the company is ready to repair it. .

So in this article I will talk about two issues. One is the problems of old self-branded cars and the process and cost of going to 4S shops to check and repair vehicles.

First of all, let me talk about the situation of this car. This car has been used by our colleagues from other places, from Shenzhen to Chengdu and then to Dongguan. Finally, we drove it back to Shenzhen. The manual model that was licensed in 2012 should be the 2010 hatchback 1.6L manual aggressive type, which was priced at about 80,000. So far, I have run 108,000 kilometers, yes, the distance of a somersault cloud. Since this car is used by many people, the condition of the car is slightly worse than usual. I will briefly introduce the current problems of this car.

So far, I have run 108,000 kilometers, yes, the distance of a somersault cloud. Since this car is used by many people, the condition of the car is slightly worse than usual. I will briefly introduce the current problems of this car.

1. Appearance

In fact, the appearance of this car is a bit horrible, because there are scratches on the left side of the front bumper, the buckle has been detached, and there are wounds cut by sharp objects, so this bumper must be replaced.

The scratch on the left side of the car door was more serious. It should have been accidentally scratched on something similar to a stone pier when turning. From the surface of the scar, the iron had leaked and severe rust had formed, which took a long time.

2. Interior

Most of the interior materials of this car are made of hard plastic panels, but fortunately it is beige. Even if the color fades after 6 years, it is not very obvious and will not make the interior look very old. a feeling of.

The only bad thing about the interior is the lid of the storage compartment, which breaks directly after being turned over for a long time. There is also a small problem that the leather wrap of the gears comes off. Of course, it is not a big problem.

Three, driving problems

The next step is the key point. This car can still be driven normally. However, there are two obvious problems in the driving process. The first is that after upshifting, there will be a jitter when the accelerator is released. Seriously, there may be a problem with the gearbox and clutch. Second, during driving, when the brake is stepped on, the steering wheel will shake obviously. The faster the vehicle speed, the more severe the shake, and the brake disc has unevenness.

These two points must be solved first, and the naked eye can't see the need for maintenance for the time being, so I can only choose to go to the 4S shop to repair, then how much does it cost to go to the 4S shop to repair these problems?

How much does the maintenance cost?

Here are a few points of personal experience. Take this Chery 4S store I came to as an example. If the vehicle is out of warranty and wants to repair the vehicle, it can be divided into two situations.

The first is to do inspections without repairing the car, then you only need to pay 150 yuan for the inspection fee, and then there will be a technician to professionally repair the vehicle problems for you, and then list the major items and costs of the car repair, below I Can speak.

The second type is to repair the car directly in the shop after the inspection. At this time, the inspection fee of 150 yuan is not charged.

Of course, if you want to go out and compare the price with a private shop before deciding where to repair it, you can try to communicate with the staff and say that it can’t be repaired now. Can you include the inspection fee again in the repair fee when you come to repair it again? There is a high probability that the situation is okay, depending on how the negotiation is made.

During the inspection process, the master will test the car on the road first. You can tell all the problems you feel, and then you will lift the car for inspection and look at the chassis and cabin. To be honest, I was quite surprised when this car was lifted up. As a self-owned brand car of RMB 80,000 in 2012, first of all, it is a real dual exhaust exhaust, not a fake unilateral exhaust. Second, its rear suspension uses a four-link independent suspension, and is equipped with a balance bar. Even now, many cars cannot afford such a large cost. Moreover, its support rods seem to be stronger than many joint venture cars now.

So after the inspection, how much will the 4S shop give a repair list? I was really shocked after the list was completed. There are three lists, the total price is 6,360, that is, as long as the car is lifted, almost the technician Every position I have seen needs to be changed.

It is mainly divided into three parts: clutch, gearbox, and brake. To be honest, the residual value of this car may be about 20,000. These repair costs are not considered as the appearance of the damage. The front bumper replacement requires more than 1,000, but if the car is parked outside, I don’t know who damaged it. Yes, insurance companies can claim 70% of the amount, but small insurance companies may not. The sheet metal touch-up paint on the two left doors costs 1,000 yuan. Looking at it this way, the total value is close to 9,000 yuan, which is really unreasonable for this car.

If you have some experience, you can see from this list that, in fact, many parts do not need to be replaced. For example, some slightly worn parts are listed on the list, and there is an item "(to be determined)". In fact, I don’t know if there is a problem, so I might have to change it. If you really don’t know the situation, all will be replaced, but some things have not actually arrived at the replacement node.

After reading this list, I decided not to repair it immediately. Of course, I also suggest that when repairing some old cars, you should first go to a 4S shop and a private shop to compare and test to see which one is more suitable, as long as the problem can be fixed. , There is absolutely no need to replace the whole car.

Summarize:

In fact, many people say that the 4S shop is very pitted. If you go there, you will be asked to change this or that, but the car will remain in the best condition after changing the car. It will not be more expensive and more expensive. For a new car, you may go to the 4S shop to repair it. Don't worry, but for old cars, I suggest that you go to some private shops to solve the problem and save some unnecessary expenses.
