The old driver summed up five repair experiences to save you money
4hw.com.cn: many drivers have had the experience of repairing cars and being blacked out. Of course, Xiaobian has also been blacked out. Due to the lack of understanding of automobile repair, he also suffered a lot of losses in the field of car repair. According to his own experience and the experience of some old drivers, Xiaobian summed up five points that can save time and money. Welcome to refer to them.
I. do it yourself
There's no need to go to the 4S store to replace an air filter or install a light bulb. Just waiting in line for an hour or so, you have to pay a high hourly fee. You'll have to finish all that time. So this kind of elementary car knowledge should have been taught for a long time. Parts such as brake light bulbs belong to consumables, even new cars are inevitably damaged, so as long as you carefully study the simple structure of rear lights of your car, you can spend 5 yuan on the street to buy a light bulb, and then replace your car by yourself, which not only saves the pain of queuing, but also increases the emotional communication with your car, which can be described as "two birds with one stone".
II. Maintenance to fast repair center
In general, the engine oil and filter of a household car need to be replaced every 5000 km. If you go to the 4S store to replace them every time, it will take time, effort and money. So for this kind of work with little technical content, it can be safely handed over to the community repair shop. If you don't have enough confidence in the oil and other raw materials provided by the small shop, you can go to the 4S shop to buy a bottle of oil, and then go to the fast repair shop to solve the problem in 10 minutes. In this way, you can pay up to 20 yuan for the labor fee, and get the detailed inspection of the chassis and tires by the repairman free of charge. Why not.
III. free diagnosis of difficult and miscellaneous diseases at 4S shop
Today's cars are equipped with complex electronic systems and precise mechanical components. In case of major failure, it is absolutely not the solution of roadside stall or auto parts city. In order to repair a modern car with complex structure, apart from rich professional experience, it is more important to rely on extremely advanced electronic equipment for auxiliary maintenance, which is what those small stores do not have. At this time, you need to believe in the strength of brand stores. In order to attract customers, the current 4S stores basically provide free fault detection, so you can run several more 4S stores to detect the root cause of the fault first. If the answers given by several stores are the same, then you can basically determine the problem. But you don't have to rush to pay for the repair at this time. If the repair process is not complicated, you can buy parts from the 4S shop, and then find a repairman in the auto parts city to replace them. Of course, if it involves electronic devices, it's better not to save that money.
IV. professional personnel are still needed for overhaul
The car belongs to the precision machine. You can count on those guerrillas for superficial small faults. But if you really encounter major faults, you have to go to a professional 4S shop. For the maintenance of engine, gearbox, chassis, computer and other parts, my point is to go to the 4S shop for repair. Let me give you an example of my own experience. A friend's engine had a slight oil burn. As a result, after being repaired by a small repair shop, there were many inexplicable problems such as being unable to drive, abnormal high-speed noise and so on. Finally, the friend had to spend money to go to the 4S shop again to have a thorough repair. As a result, he lost thousands of Yuan both inside and outside. Therefore, I also want to remind you of the faults in key parts here. You must choose a 4S shop to repair them.
V. do not follow the original accessories blindly
Take the Jetta as an example. The plastic box outside the air filter at the intake end costs more than 200 yuan at the 4S shop, while the auxiliary factory parts at 80 yuan in the auto parts city are all over the street. According to the visual inspection, the quality is not bad.
