A colleague of mine left him onSmartThere were flat tires on the road, not only the tires were scrapped, but the good guys were fine. Pull back the mercedes4sUpon repair, it was told that it would be a little disturbing to have money for a round of $6,000 and a tire of $2,000, plus a total of nearly $8,500 for maintenance hours. Before buying the car, i warned him that the maintenance and repair of the mercedes type was extremely expensive. But i didn't expect it to be so costly to really repair it. So i looked into the maintenance and spare parts prices in shanghai and beijing, and from the offers given by the distributors in both places, i would suggest that you be prepared for the purchase of the smart。
Related vehiclesMaintenance periodAs well as replacement items, the owner of the vehicle is informed when the vehicle leaves the plant through a maintenance manual attached to the vehicle. As the data are designed on an ideal basis, the actual situation may not be achieved. In order to provide you with a more comprehensive picture of the maintenance of the station and the plant, the following editors will present you separately。
Smart maintenance manual details
Before entering the text, let's look at the maintenance cycle of the smart and the quality assurance provided by the manufacturer. The 2011 smart currently sold carries two different engines, 1. 0 l and 1. 0 t, respectively. Both motor models have a maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometres, followed by a regular maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometres. The plant provided the smart with an entire vehicle warranty period of two years or more. It should be noted that after the purchase of a car, the manufacturer does not grant a free initial insurance. The distributor indicated that the first guaranteed mileage was 10,000 km of conventional maintenance。
The smart official maintenance cycle is 10,000 km once and the maintenance cycle is divided into “a” and “b” insurance
The smart type of maintenance is the same as the other mercedes models, using the official “a” and “b” maintenance cycles. Although the smart 1. 0t and the special speed vehicle models use a turbine booster direct-jet engine, which is technologically more sophisticated, the distributors do not specifically set maintenance cycles for the engine. The distributor recommended the same level as the 1. 0l model, with the 1. 0t vehicle maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometres. I believe that the shop does not take into account the special traffic conditions in the shanghai area and the vehicle usage habits of each driver。
Smart vehicle maintenance cycle schedule
“a” maintenance cycle
“a” coverage (routine minor maintenance) at 10,000, 30,000 kilometres per trip
“b” maintenance cycle
“b” coverage per journey to 20,000, 40,000, 60,000 km (large maintenance, 40,000 km replacement of spark plugs)
This survey is for mercedes 4s in shanghai, and the rest may vary slightly for reference purposes only
The maintenance cycles of individual parts of the mercedes distributor are not consistent with those of the manufacturer, and i will calculate the prices for each of the two different maintenance cycles. The manufacturer recommended the replacement of brake oil every two years, compared with 60,000 kilometres proposed at mercedes 4s. The manufacturer has recommended that air-conditioning filters be replaced every 10,000 kilometres, while mercedes 4s is recommended for every 20,000 kilometres. I wonder who it is to listen to. The distributor indicated that, in contrast to the maintenance cycle recommended by the manufacturer, consideration was given to reducing the economic burden on the owner, and that extending the maintenance cycle for some parts of the spare parts did not damage the total power. In addition, the smart gasoline core has a replacement cycle of 60,000 km, which is less common in the same grade, but when you know the price of the filter, you find it less expensive。

After reading the maintenance manual for the smart and the information obtained by the distributor, the owner is informed about the vehicle maintenance cycle and replacement project by means of the accompanying maintenance manual when the vehicle leaves the plant. The 4s stores, on the other hand, are maintained according to domestic realities (e. G. Fuel quality, air quality, road conditions) and the level of use by the owner. It would be good to reduce the economic burden on the owner of the vehicle by extending the maintenance cycle for some parts of the parts of the service, but who would be responsible if the vehicle did not have vehicle problems according to the manual, as recommended by the 4s. It is hoped that mercedes distributors will provide different maintenance standards for stores
The following table is based on the corresponding mileage replacement project, as indicated in the vehicle maintenance manual, as well as the cost of spare parts provided by local distributors in shanghai and the hours worked. The official maintenance price for the 60,000 km mass bond period is as follows:

Note: change gear tank oil every 80,000 km, change brake oil every 2 years, and i believe that many of the owners will not have more than 60,000 km within 2 years
Smart's total vehicle mass warranty period is 2 years or open to km, total maintenance cost going to 60,000 km: $179,001
Note: need to replace: proposed replacement (all prices in this table include spare parts and hours)
This survey is for mercedes 4s in shanghai, and the rest may vary slightly for reference purposes only
According to the maintenance cycle prescribed in the smart official manual, the cost of the two-year warranty period was calculated at $179,901, which should be the first price for such a microcar or even more than most medium-sized cars on the market. So smart's intended customers are advised to take care of their pockets before buying cars, which is not the age when they can afford them. As noted above, there are two different maintenance cycles between shop 4s and mercedes, and the real maintenance in store 4s is of concern to many car owners. Now, let's see what's really going on with smart going to the shop。
