Since autumn, the weather has become cooler and cooler, making it a good season to go out and play. Just in time for my brother-in-law to go to college, I planned to take this opportunity to have fun together. So, I thought about whether to take care of the car. The last maintenance was when the epidemic was lifted just after the end of the epidemic. As of now, we have traveled about 7000 kilometers. We originally planned to go for maintenance when we reached 8000 kilometers. After calculation, the round trip is about more than 800 kilometers, and the return reaches exactly 8000 kilometers. But for driving safety, it was decided to do maintenance in advance. Taking advantage of getting off work early, I decided to stop by and do maintenance. After phone communication, I learned that there were not many customers maintaining the 4s store, so I didn’t have to wait and rushed to the store.
Sure enough, they received them directly when they arrived at the store. The service consultant quickly picked up the car and made various registrations to inquire about the use of the car and the problems that occurred. During communication, we took the initiative to conduct inspections, and only performed routine maintenance for the rest. The service consultant issued a document for a detailed explanation, confirmed and signed it, and drove the car into the workshop to prepare for construction.
Entering the workshop to prepare for construction may be the reason why there are relatively few customers in the store. This time, two masters were arranged to carry out maintenance operations. One master went to the warehouse to collect materials for maintenance, and another master pushed the car onto the elevator and made preliminary preparations. Then the two people work at the same time, one is responsible for cleaning the air filter element, and the other is responsible for cleaning the air conditioning filter element. After cleaning the filter element, the two masters carried out maintenance and travel inspections respectively. The master inspected each tire and cleaned up the stones in the tire pattern. Because he told the master that he would go to other places and asked the master to focus on inspecting the hanging parts, the technician tightened the screw bolts in important parts to prevent loosening. When the master finished the travel inspection, the master who changed the oil also drained the oil and prepared to add new oil. Castrol Black Diamond Oil is a fully synthetic oil that can extend the maintenance cycle accordingly. There is no problem if this is maintained once a year or so (the mileage traveled in one year is about 12000 kilometers)
After replacing the oil, the master used the computer to check whether there were other problems with the car computer and reset the maintenance record. After doing this, I drove to the car wash area to wash the car.
Go back to the front desk and connect with the service consultant, because this is a manufacturer’s event and deliver gasoline detergent to commemorate the recent maintenance. However, they said that they had never done this before. After more than three hours of operation, they successfully obtained two bottles of gasoline cleaner. They said that I was the first person in their store to participate in the event. Points can be used to deduct during settlement, and the points can be fully deducted for this maintenance. SAIC Volkswagen’s membership policy is still very considerate.
After the settlement is completed, go to the car wash area and drive, get the exit ticket and leave.
After this maintenance, I didn’t feel the changes brought by fully synthetic engine oil. However, after this maintenance, I made comprehensive preparations for the near trip to Qingdao, and I had no worries about traveling!
