Everything is relative, it is convenient to buy a car, but the cost of maintaining and repairing a car will make the daily expenses rise. When determining the automobile maintenance cycle, we should refer to the maintenance cycle of automobile production enterprises and make appropriate adjustments in combination with the technical situation and actual use.
Everything is relative, it is convenient to buy a car, but the cost of maintaining and repairing a car will make the daily expenses rise. It's not easy to make money, of course, we must figure out how to spend it. This time, let's discuss the strategy of saving money in car maintenance. Normally, the normal maintenance costs of vehicles include working hours, spare parts and other materials. At the beginning of the car use, it is mainly based on normal maintenance, and the cost is relatively low; When the vehicle has been used for a certain number of years or driven to a certain mileage, it will enter the maintenance period and the cost will be higher. How can we save the cost of car maintenance on the premise of ensuring quality?
Money-saving strategy 1: reasonably determine the maintenance cycle
Automobile maintenance cycle refers to the interval mileage or time of automobile maintenance. High maintenance frequency is not a bad thing, which can effectively ensure the performance of the vehicle. Therefore, scientifically determining the interval mileage of various maintenance operations can not only keep the vehicle in good technical condition, but also save maintenance costs and maintenance costs. When determining the maintenance cycle of automobile, we should refer to the maintenance cycle of automobile manufacturing, and make appropriate adjustments to the maintenance cycle in combination with the technical situation and actual use of automobile. New cars with good general technical conditions can be used in good operating conditions, and the maintenance cycle can be appropriately extended; However, if the technical condition of the car is poor or the service condition is poor, the maintenance cycle should be shortened appropriately.
Money-saving strategy 2: make full use of free tests
Automobile manufacturers pay more and more attention to after-sales service and can often enjoy free testing activities. Many of these free testing activities seem simple and seem to have no substantive content. In fact, these free testing activities are very beneficial. Using these free testing activities to carry out a comprehensive physical examination of cars can find some potential faults in time and eliminate these hidden dangers, thus saving high maintenance costs.
Save money strategy 3: Disassemble the maintenance assembly as little as possible.
An assembly of a car will be out of control after disassembly and maintenance, and it will be "hospitalized" every once in a while. This phenomenon is particularly common in imported cars. Why is this happening? There are many reasons, mainly related to the repairman's assembly technology and the quality of accessories. In order to prevent the vehicle from entering the maintenance period prematurely, it is best to disassemble the maintenance assembly as little as possible, and use various advanced technical maintenance equipment and means to carry out disassembly-free maintenance of the vehicle, which can not only avoid unnecessary damage to the automobile assembly and parts due to disassembly and maintenance, but also greatly accelerate the maintenance speed of the vehicle, improve the maintenance quality, and thus reduce the overall maintenance cost.
Money-saving strategy 4: rational use of oil
The correct use of engine oil includes two aspects: one is fuel oil, and the other is lubricating oil. Improper fuel selection will easily lead to fuel filter blockage and other failures, which will lead to unstable idle speed, poor acceleration and increased fuel consumption, and will also accelerate cylinder wear and affect engine life. Therefore, improper fuel selection will increase the maintenance cost and maintenance cost of the car. Different brands and grades of lubricants vary greatly in quality and price. How to choose lubricating oil to meet the lubrication requirements and spend less money?
The basic principles are:
As long as it can meet the requirements of vehicle use, only buy the right one, not the expensive one. For example, engine oil, for domestic cars, some domestic SJ-grade engine oil can fully meet the requirements, and there is no need to buy imported ones.
