Myth one: the warranty period length = lower cost
Many owners believe that car manufacturers extended warranty period, their car costs will be significantly reduced, but in fact, the warranty is like insurance, there is a problem only when the car that he can get the benefits brought by this policy. Of course, power train maintenance costs are very expensive, usually, the cost of a car power train system to account for 35% -40% of vehicle costs. Therefore, power train systems need to be replaced soon would be great for consumers to spend. Extended warranty period, no doubt to avoid the risk of consumers themselves such a huge overhead.

In fact, the main purpose is to extend the warranty period to develop good guide owners regularly scheduled Cheng conservation habits to guide owners through professional conservation in the 4S shop, will be maintained better condition, until the owners transfer, will find its residual car increase the value, much better than spending during curing, in fact, this is the real protection of the interests of consumers.

Myth two: Maintenance seat of your pants do not follow the periodic table
Each car will be given when the owner of a maintenance of the periodic table, was told to do what at what time of the maintenance, but most owners driving on, as long as you feel good, not out what problems will gradually put in back of the head; another part of the owner is out of the previous driving experience, self shorten maintenance mileage, such as the maintenance requirement is 8000 km, then he put the car in the 6000 km when open to the 4S shop; or not to the maintenance time to 4S shop maintenance, the result is more money. In fact, does not the more the better ground vehicle maintenance, mileage specified by the manufacturer is based on the performance of full understand of the body, and thus only the best data set.

Myth three: do not go over the warranty period 4S shop
Vehicle about two years, this car is the best condition when the state of the body at this time to reach various parts of the ideal state, how to make this state continue? Rely on the professional conservation 4S shop: a long drive regularly scheduled maintenance, the use of original oil and accessories will naturally extend the useful life of the car. Reporters have done more, the same two opened a five-year car, a 4S shop has been doing maintenance, the other one in the first 2 years after the end of the warranty period do not go to the 4S shop maintenance, condition is different, open up the car think it is two generations.

Myth fore: manufacturers do not warranty consumables
Currently most of the manufacturers don’t have warranty of consumables. In fact, this type of accessories if you really have quality problems, usually in the 2000-3000km affirmative exposed, not a problem if used 5000 km theoretically would not be a problem, unless you use improper methods. Therefore, the manufacturers to give three months or 5,000 km warranty actually buy an insurance policy for consumers, eliminating the owner's worries.
