For car owners, vehicle maintenance is a troublesome and headache thing. Many people will have such a struggle: when their car is being repaired, should they go to the 4S shop or the garage for repair? 4S shop is very professional, but there are many routines and it costs a lot of money every time. Garage is relatively cheap, but the quality is difficult to guarantee. So where should I go for maintenance?
Is the 4S shop really expensive and pitted?
As we all know, 4S stores are specialized in providing services for a brand. Their maintenance technicians are generally trained for a long time and know a lot about the brand models they serve, so generally speaking, the services provided by 4S stores are more professional. In addition to the professional level of the maintenance master, the equipment required for the maintenance of the 4S shop is also very professional and complete, which is relatively more professional and targeted in troubleshooting and maintenance. At the same time, 4S shop has a perfect spare parts management system. For the brand models it serves, basically all spare parts are available, and formal spare parts storage can ensure the quality. These are the advantages of 4S stores.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. As we all know, 4S stores charge a lot. After all, it is an official repair shop, with high spare parts and labor hours, and the corresponding shops and equipment are charged. In addition, the maintenance time is long, the process is relatively complicated, and it is often criticized by everyone. In addition, there are often various slow-paced promotions in the store, which is also a point that many people dislike.
Is the repair shop really unreliable?
After talking about 4S stores, let's talk about the garage. At present, general auto repair shops are divided into chain stores and roadside auto repair shops. Let's talk about chain stores first. In fact, there are many similarities between chain stores and 4S stores, but not only for one brand, all brands can be maintained, and the maintenance process of the two is almost the same. However, the prices of chain stores are relatively transparent and the working hours are relatively cheap. However, at present, there are many outlets in first-and second-tier cities and relatively few outlets in third-and fourth-tier cities, so the convenience is not very prominent.
Roadside repair shops are widely distributed, so the maintenance is relatively time-saving and the working hours are lower. Similarly, from a professional point of view, it is still relatively poor. Although the skill of the maintenance master is good, on the whole, both the maintenance equipment and technology are still at an uneven level. Whether the service is good or not is a bit like a lottery ticket, and the uncertainty is relatively high. In addition, incomplete accessories are also a disadvantage. After all, in most cases, what accessories need to be ordered from accessories suppliers. These are the advantages and disadvantages of the repair shop.
So where should I go for maintenance?
If the vehicle is still under warranty, there is no doubt that no matter the size of the problem, it is the first choice to go to the 4S shop for maintenance. Because 4S stores have maintenance records, it is relatively easy for consumers to defend their rights and avoid some unnecessary troubles. In addition, important parts of the vehicle, such as engine, gearbox, suspension, electronic components, etc. , failure, and even affect driving safety. It's best to go to a 4S shop for maintenance. After all, safety comes first. Because they have more professional and complete equipment and technicians, they can carry out more accurate troubleshooting and maintenance. If parts need to be replaced, their regular parts storage can also provide quality assurance.
If it is a general maintenance service after the warranty period, such as changing oil and filtering spark plugs, you can choose an auto repair shop. If you are worried about the roadside garage service, you can choose the life-long maintenance service provided by multi-value YEATION. The oil on it is guaranteed. Every year, you will express enough oil to join the auto repair shop in the corresponding city, and you can change it directly after making an appointment by phone. Free, worry-free, and guaranteed service.
Generally speaking, in fact, there is no absolutely better statement between 4S shops and auto repair shops, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If the problem of the vehicle involves important parts, it is recommended to go to the 4S shop for maintenance. But if it's routine maintenance or minor problems, you can also go to a general garage. If you want to save time and worry and have high requirements on service quality, it is also a good channel to choose multi-value YEATION lifelong maintenance service and then go to offline cooperative stores for maintenance.
