When it comes to car maintenance, most people think of 4S shops. However, the high price and time is a headache for many people. During the warranty period, almost all people will have to choose 4S stores because they do not want to give up the warranty. But if there is a warranty period, where should it be maintained? If the problem was 5 years ago, choose a roadside auto repair shop. But now in addition to the auto repair shop, there are door-to-door maintenance like "Kaladin", and the owners are dazzled. So for the crowd after the insurance, 4S shop, auto repair shop, door-to-door maintenance who is the most convenient, who is the most cost-effective? Who is most convenient? What should I choose? In order to compare the prices between different brand 4S stores, see what type of independent brand and joint venture brand is more appropriate.

Charge: 4S stores are not all very expensive, independent and joint venture brands are very different

4S shop maintenance prices vary greatly due to different brands, Jianghuai Yueyue 4S shop maintenance hours are 90 yuan, while Mazda Axella if it is booked in advance is 170. Most people feel that the auto repair shop is cheap, we consulted several auto repair shops, if you bring your own oil, small maintenance charges between 50-80 hours, no matter what brand of car you drive in the same shop are charged the same hours. This price is slightly lower than the independent brand 4S store, and almost half lower than the joint venture brand.

Time: 4S shop has a long time

The general routine maintenance time of 4S shop is 60-90 minutes, and our actual experience took about 60 minutes. However, because the passenger flow of 4S stores is high, if you meet the weekend even if you make an appointment, you often have to wait. The efficiency of the auto repair shop is relatively high, almost the maintenance content only takes 40-60 minutes to complete, our actual experience as long as 40 minutes to complete the maintenance. Home maintenance takes about 45-90 minutes, and the time spent in our previous experience is 45 minutes, which is slightly longer than the maintenance of the auto repair shop.

Other maintenance items: The service of the auto repair shop is not as bad as imagined

The maintenance of the 4S shop is relatively professional and relatively careful, such as using the computer to read the fault code and placing protective pads near the engine compartment to prevent the car paint from being scratched and dirty. If you want to repair the car while maintaining it, most of the accessories can be replaced on site at the 4S shop. Auto repair shop maintenance service content and 4S shop similar, check chassis, tire pressure adjustment, supplement glass water, etc., maintenance will also be free car wash. The service content and the equipment in the store are similar to 4S stores. Home maintenance is subject to only one working car, the tools and accessories can be relatively limited, the condition inspection is relatively simple, and most of the problems can not be replaced on-site even if they are checked out. Such as changing the tire (only changing the tire without changing the hub), changing the transmission oil these slightly complex maintenance projects can not be completed on-site. Finally, the cleaning of the vehicle after maintenance is basically limited to the engine compartment and the front windshield, and there is no whole car cleaning.

Convenience: The convenience of home maintenance is strong

General 4S shop online shop is relatively few, take our Jianghuai as an example, if you want to 4S shop maintenance back and forth about two hours, this is still the premise of no traffic jams. In contrast, the convenience advantage of auto repair shops is great, because auto repair shops are all over the street, and most people can always find one or two when they go out a few hundred meters. The convenience of home maintenance is strong, the time and place are decided by the owner, the owner only needs to make an appointment with the mobile phone, give the key to the technician before maintenance, and pay to retrieve the key after maintenance. The maintenance process can do its own thing, and the maintenance process can be monitored and replayed at any time through the camera.

Credibility: The qualification of auto repair shops is generally low, and the rate of fake parts is high

Like 4S stores, Carradine these big brands, if they sell fake oil fake accessories once exposed, the negative impact and loss is quite serious, so they generally do not dare to sell fake goods at will. (But even Jingdong has been exposed to sell fake oil before, so it can only say that 4S stores and Caradin counterfeit rate is relatively low) In contrast, most auto repair shops are not chain brands, qualifications are uneven, oil, accessories supply is relatively not guaranteed.

What should I choose?

As a vehicle after the warranty period, we first recommend the way to the auto repair shop maintenance, as for the problem of oil and accessories trust, we suggest that if you are not assured to buy the oil from the past, or in the oil manufacturer's official website to learn the method of identification of authenticity (Castrol and Mobil official website have query methods). This can be done quickly, cheaply and conveniently. Auto repair shops are all over the street, but it's not a random choice. The standard of poor stores is not much higher. Also do not choose to specialize in the repair of famous cars, specializing in Mercedes-Benz BMW stores, these stores are more expensive. As for the 4S shop maintenance, although more expensive and relatively inconvenient, but the accessories are relatively complete and more secure. If you are large maintenance or maintenance at the same time to repair the car, it is recommended to choose 4S shop. As for home maintenance, because the cost of home maintenance is very high, the inspection is not very detailed, and there is no car wash, there are no other advantages in addition to being very convenient. Unless you're really busy or lazy, I don't really recommend home maintenance.
