I started LaVida in September 2014 (modified in 2013). Since I got it, I have been with me. Since it was my first car, I took great care of him, from starting with waxing and washing to purchasing various small equipment.(Skip 5000 words here) For more than 6 years, he has never abandoned me. He has never lost the chain during use. He just paid too much attention to the paint surface, interior decoration, etc. during use, and paid little attention to the tire problem. From use to now, the tire has been repaired 3 times (not the same tire), and the position has been reversed once. Because there is no garage or underground parking space, it has always been exposed to the wind and the sun, resulting in serious tire aging. Whether it’s in the 4s or in an outside repair shop, I will always remind me that the tires are easy to change.
Six years of feng shui and sun exposure have caused obvious cracks on the tire surface. Once I went to the 4s to change antifreeze (I used a black diamond 188 coupon). While waiting in the lounge, I accidentally discovered an event in the 4s. Buy three tires and get one free, and you can use points. My original car was a Michelin 205R16, which required 25710 points, so I rushed to book. The goods were notified a week later, but at the time, I was busy, and secondly, I felt that the tires would still run for a while, so I was not in a hurry. I waited until the New Year was approaching, when I had new clothes and shoes during the New Year. Let’s also change a pair of shoes for the car. So I made a reservation with the sales consultant of 4s to exchange it on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month (it’s late enough, they have a holiday on the 28th). I came to 4s on the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month and issued the receipt.
The list will be typed out in a while. Tires are 2571, installation fee (added dynamic balance) is 160, and four-wheel alignment is 120. It’s not cheap, and we have points and maintenance coupons. After a while, new layers of tires will be brought
This is the QR code of the scanned tire. It is indeed the type I want () While I was looking at the tire, the maintenance master started to remove the tire
During the removal process, there was a small incident. After the screws of the right rear tire were removed, the tire could not be taken off. As shown in the picture above, it was later discovered that it was due to rust. Before installing the new tire, the staff specially handled it to prevent it from being burned in the future. It is not easy to prevent yourself from screwing in the future (like one, think of the customer)
This is the situation with all four wheels removed (my car used to be a normal version, but later a sports front bumper was added)
The maintenance technician separates the wheel hub and the tire (however, it seems to be the same as the equipment at the outside maintenance point)
After the four tires are ready, all of them are installed in place, and it makes me feel comfortable looking at the new tires (this is like liking the new and loathe the old, hahaha)
Then drive to the four-wheel alignment-four-wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, and adjusts to ensure good driving performance of the vehicle and has certain reliability to prevent deviation, improper steering wheel and tire appearance during driving. Abnormal wear, tire eating and tire gnawing failures
Last consumption, tires 2571+ installation fee plus dynamic balance 160+ four-wheel positioning 120=2851 yuan-188 (black brick coupons)=2663 yuan =26640 points deduction
