5 imported tires are not necessarily the best choice
Car in motion, in effect, to the four tires. However, some people will inevitably buy various brands of imported tires into the purchase misunderstanding. Out of psychological factors, many consumers prefer the original imported tires. In fact, foreign launch of the new tires in terms of domestic users, the price is too high do not say, and does not necessarily apply
6 due to the tire inflation
The corrected tire pressure is the most important part of the security check. The tire pressure is too low will cause abnormal wear or tire internal damage to the tire pressure too high will make the tires and wheels are more vulnerable to the impact of the uneven pavement deformation, and even lead to a flat tire. The tire pressure must be checked regularly, outside spare tire, other tire check at least two weeks time, tire pressure check is carried out in the case of tires cooled, otherwise the high temperature causes the tire pressure to rise, the amount of them are not allowed . Also often do not forget to check the spare tire pressure is normal
7 two years just for once antifreeze
When the weather turns cold, the cold air coming to a sudden temperature drop is likely to affect the normal work of automobile cooling system. At this time we should let go of the tap water in the tank in a timely manner using antifreeze instead. If your car has been in use antifreeze, you do not have to be immediately replaced.

Need for everyone to be reminded that, replace the antifreeze, do not forget to clean the engine.

Do maintenance equal to the cost

Some owners worry about their own car obviously is a small problem but it will be 4S shop depicts a very serious, replacement parts, persuaded to spend unnecessary money, in fact, in the mainstream car manufacturers, this phenomenon is almost not exist, because manufacturers of automobile dealers have strict management measures.
Consumers in the car often diligent in doing all kinds of homework, the Internet search consulting to relatives and friends, shop around, but tend to drive the truck home after addition to diligent cleaning indifferent, and even the formation of many caught Misunderstanding the car concept. For manufacturers launched warranty policy, often a wrong understanding. Reporter from experts collected owners daily number of vehicle maintenance, conservation misunderstanding this a reasonable specification conservation recommendations of the car to the owner of a vehicle.
Myth # 1
The maintenance the seat of your pants do not believe the Periodic Table
Each car owners to buy a car will get a maintenance periodic table and was told at what hour to do what kind of maintenance, but the majority of car owners driving on, as long as you feel good, not what problems will gradually put in the back of the head; another part owners reduce maintenance mileage out of the driving experience in the past, their own, such as the provisions of the 8000 km maintenance, but put 6000 km drive to the 4S shop; or no maintenance time to 4S The shop maintenance, the result is to spend more money. In fact, the vehicle maintenance is not the more the better ground, mileage stipulated by the manufacturer based on the full understanding of body performance, and then only the best data set.
Myth # 2
Reduce the cost of the warranty length = use
Many owners believe that car manufacturers extended warranty, will significantly reduce the cost of their car, but in fact, the warranty is like insurance, car problems yourself in order to get the benefits of this policy. Course, powertrain maintenance costs are very expensive, usually the cost of a car powertrain system to account for vehicle costs 35% ¯ 40%. Therefore, the powertrain system needs to be replaced, would be great for the consumer to spend. The extension of the warranty period, no doubt to avoid the risk of consumers themselves such a large overhead.
In fact, the main purpose is to extend the warranty period to guide the owners to develop good regularly given away conservation habits, by directing the 4S shop owners in professional conservation, maintaining the vehicle condition better, until the owners found residual car will transfer value increased outpace conservation spending, in fact, this is truly protect the interests of consumers.
Myth # 3
4S shop maintenance = Diandaqike
A machine filter, for example, in the 4S shop to buy may be more expensive a few dollars, but it can ensure the normal use of more than 8000 or even 10,000 km roadside store to buy the machine filter life is likely to run less than 3000 ¯ 4000 km, while the manufacturers original oil benefits for the whole body coordination must be self-evident. Save a few bucks a little money, momentary convenience, it may be the cost of the expense of the future, the use of performance, which will only lead to more trouble and inconvenience.
Some owners worry about is obviously a small problem but it will be 4S shop depicts a very serious car replacement parts, in persuasion, the unnecessary spend some money, but in fact, the mainstream car manufacturers, this phenomenon is almost impossible to exist, manufacturers of automobile dealers have strict management measures. Another angle to think, 4S shop to do long-term business, unlike street shops are a one-shot deal, it is not possible at the expense of the long-term interests and reputation, such a short-term speculation, we hope that the "customers - the formation of word-of-mouth-4S shop be able to continue as a going concern "a virtuous circle.
Myth # 4
Consumables = manufacturers do not warranty
Generally speaking, most of the manufacturers warranty on consumables not. In fact, this type of accessories, if you really have quality problems, certainly exposed to general in 2000 ¯ 3000 km, used 5000 km not a problem in theory, will not be a problem, unless you are using improper methods. Therefore, manufacturers give 3 months or 5,000 km warranty for consumers to buy an insurance policy from owners worry about.
Myth # 5
4S shop over the warranty period will not go
Vehicle traveling about two years, car vehicle in the best of times, this time the state of the various parts of the body to achieve the ideal state, and how to make the state continue? 4S shop professional conservation: regular maintenance given away for a long time, the use of original oil and accessories, will naturally extend the car's useful life. The after-sales service department to take over too many examples, also opened five years two cars, one has been in the 4S shop maintenance, the other one to the 4S shop is no longer the end of the warranty period of 2 years after doing maintenance, condition distinct open up two generations of cars. Ultimately, driving consumers, the car is good, really feel the most.
