Many of the old drivers around said that the car was not broken, but mostly damaged. My cousin is a typical example of a new car that has been in operation for three years and has been maintained by 4s stores and car repair shops, with all kinds of cleaning and replacement projects in place, and has cost almost $20,000 for three years。
It was not until last year that he met a senior mechanic who found himself being set up. Many of the unnecessary projects were spent in vain, and the key details of the maintenance were ignored, resulting in higher fuel consumption and a clear frustration。
In fact, home-car maintenance is not complicated at all, it is not a blind and wind-priced project. Bearing in mind that these 10 lifetime gold maintenance techniques, which can both keep the car in good shape and avoid the 90% consumption package, can easily save tens of thousands of dollars for a few years and can be easily squeezed by new drivers。
Skills i: all maintenance, with the only standard used as a vehicle manual
This is the core of all maintenance techniques and the most economical line. Most drivers never look at carsMaintenance manualThis is the root cause of the set-up, each time the maintenance is recommended by the staff。
For profit, both 4s stores and car repair shops deliberately shorten maintenance cycles and add redundant items. The standard of true authority is the manual for the maintenance of the vehicle with the car company. The replacement cycle and maintenance projects indicated in the manual are the best option for the appropriate vehicle type。
Just bear in mind that items that are not written in the manual are not done; the periodicity indicated in the manual is not done in advance. When staff sell the mark-up items, they ask directly: will failure to do so affect the overall quality assurance? The other side was vague and simply refused。
Sight two: oil is more important than frequent change
A number of doors are used to bypass the owner, and ordinary oil must be replaced for three months or 5,000 kilometres. In contrast, formal full-synthetic oil, household alternative roads, could well be replaced 10,000 kilometres or once a year。
Only vehicles with frequent traffic jams, violent driving and poor runaways will need to be properly reduced. At the same time, the most expensive high-end oil is not being pursued blindly, and it is sufficient to match the model with the standard oil number indicated in the manual, so that the higher-priced oil does not lead to additional car upgrades and only increases costs。
S3: brake oil looks at water content, not fixed years
Virtually all the stores have a uniform narrative: the brake oil must be replaced for 30,000 kilometres over two years, otherwise it is vulnerable to failure. This is the most common pattern。
The core replacement standard for brake oil is water content, not time and mileage. As long as the amount of water is less than 3 per cent, the brakes are of a normal quality and the unmodified soft lag, even if they are not replaced for four or five years. Maintenance can be done by allowing the master to use the test pen, so that the data can be replaced and the unnecessary expense saved。
Skills iv: retrofit tank oil subtypes, not harmonized cropping
The transformer tank oil did not have a generic replacement cycle, and the different types of transformer were very different. Many of the stores in the market are of no car type, with a uniform claim of 60,000 kilometres of transformer fuel, which is simply excessive maintenance。
Manual and partial high-end at gearboxes are marked as life-free and normal driving does not need to be replaced; normal at, cvt gearboxes can be replaced by 6-80 000 km in accordance with manual。
It is also important to remember that there is a very small conservation gap and a more than double price difference between the replacement of transformer tank oil, the replacement of gravity for oil and the exchange of fuel for domestic use without expensive recyclers。
Skills 5: iq tax for all types of engine cleaning
Air-saving door cleaning, gas vent cleaning, oil-jet cleaning and carbon clean-up are the most lucrative circuits in the door shop. With the exception of old vehicles, long-term short-distance vehicles, new and semi-new vehicles are largely exempt from these items。
Normally driven domestic cars, within 30,000 kilometres, would hardly affect the carbon accumulation of the condition. As long as the vehicles were not twitched, fuel consumption surged and the power decreased significantly, all cleaning projects were refused. Frequent de-cleaning can easily damage seals, causing oil spills and noise problems。
S6: air filter cores, air-conditioning filter cores, air-conditioning filtration cores, and self-replacement
The two filter cores are small items of wear and tear and are also the most popular items in the shop for the high frequency replacement. In fact, these two accessories make it possible for the owner to examine himself without relying on the door shop。
The air filter core is responsible for engine infusion, which can continue to be used with a light ash gun, which can be blocked and severely replaced; the air-conditioning filter core is related to the air quality of the vehicle, which can be checked during the spring and summer season and can be used to extend the replacement cycle appropriately in the autumn and winter。
The online purchase of spare parts for replacement cost only one third of the door shop, which is easy to operate and completely free of the cost of working hours。
Skills vii: refrigerated fluids are almost free of maintenance and need not be replaced every year
Many car owners are persuaded to replace anti-frozen fluids every year. Regular long-activated anti-freeze liquids with a service life of up to 5 years or 100,000 km。
A regular view of the liquid levels of the anti-freeze canteen is required on a daily basis, and the same type of anti-freeze is updated in a timely manner below the scale line. As long as the anti-frozen fluid is not muddy, spoiled, rusty and the ice spot tests are met, there is no need to replace the whole, and the annual change is pure waste of money。
Sight eight: no early change in the bottle, no age at all
It is also typical that the door shop often says that the bottles have to be replaced in two years to prevent half-way power failure. Car bottles have no fixed life standards, are used to driving and often travel long distances, and use them for four to five years is common。
To determine whether the cylinders need to be replaced, only the start-up state and the detection voltage: the vehicle is set on fire without a karton signal and the detection data are normal and can continue to be used without early replacement。
Skills 9: maintenance on demand during quality assurance period and decisive departure from 4s
Many owners mistakenly assumed that failure to maintain 4s would release them, which was an outdated area. Under the terms of the three packages of vehicles, maintenance at the external compliance shop during the quality assurance period does not affect the integrity of the vehicle。
During the quality assurance period, it was recommended that only the 4s store be free of charge, that core failure repairs be performed, that routine minor maintenance be provided with the option of a formal car repair chain, that the fittings be authentic, that the process be regulated, and that the hours worked be more than half the cost of 4s。
-technology 10: maintenance is on the construction line
Many of the hidden circuits occur in the distance between the owner's departure from the workspace: the theft of less fuel, the non-replacement of spare parts, and the replacement of spare parts with secondary filling。
Whenever possible, the construction is supervised by a full-time presence, regardless of size. The replacement of old filter cores and used accessories must be self-contained, both in order to avoid the re-sale of the shop and intuitive confirmation that the spare parts have been replaced and to avoid falsification。
Summary of the core of routine maintenance pits
The nature of car maintenance is on demand rather than on a stack. All the routes were designed to take advantage of the lack of expertise of the owner and the fear of problems。
Without relying on the phrase “the sooner the better the better, the more expensive the better”, strict adherence to the manual, the on-demand inspection and the rejection of redundant items is the best-priced and safest way to raise a vehicle, both to prolong its useful life and to save a large cost。
