Saying that a six-year run 100,000 kilometers of own-brand cars will make you anti? The first impression is certainly a lot of people own brand of quality certainly not able to open 100,000 km overhaul may be necessary, especially in the car or six years ago, would certainly be falling apart. It just so happened our company there is such a work vehicle, a car has been running for six years, nearly 110,000 kilometers of Chery A3, also happens to be fast to catch up with its six-year inspection deadline is approaching, the company will prepare it properly tidy up .
So in this article I will talk about two issues, one is the old car will have its own brand of problems as well as to the 4S shop car repair processes and costs.
First of all let me say for the car, the car has always been our colleagues in the field use, from Shenzhen to Dongguan, Chengdu and then, only then we finally opened it back to Shenzhen. 12 years on the licensing of manual model, should be the 2010 model hatchback 1.6L manual aggressive, when the price is probably around 80,000. Now we run 108,000 kilometers, yes, a somersault cloud distance. Because many people use the car, so the condition of the car to be somewhat less than usual, I simply to introduce the car to the current problems.
First, the appearance
In fact, the appearance of the car is already a bit miserable, because the left side of the front bumper appeared rub marks, snaps already out, and then there are sharp objects cut wounds, so this is the bumper must want to change.
When this left door track rub more serious, it should be accidentally blown something similar sub pier during cornering, Scar surface, it has a drain iron, and has formed a serious rust, relatively long time.
Second, the interior
The car's interior materials are mostly some hard plastic plate, but the good news is beige, even after six years appeared to fade, it is not very clear to see, will not make the interior look old a feeling of.
The only bad is the interior storage compartment lid, long turning directly broken, there is a small problem is wrapped in leather gear off, of course, not a big problem.
Third, the driving issues
Then there is the key, the car is still normal driving, but driving the process, there are two obvious problems, first, that after the upshift, step on the gas, there will be a burst shake loose, frustrated compare serious, gearbox and clutch may be a problem. Second, the process of moving, the brakes, the steering wheel will be very obvious shaking jitter, the faster the speed, the more severe jitter, there is unevenness in brakes.
These two points are to be solved first, and being naked eye can not see the need for maintenance, you can only choose to 4S shop to repair, then to the 4S shop repair these problems and how much money do?
How much maintenance?
Here are several points to share first-hand experience, this Chery 4S shop to take me to the, if the vehicle is out of warranty would like to repair the vehicle, it can be divided into two cases.
First, do not repair, only testing, then you only need to pay 150 yuan testing fees, that time you will have a professional technician to repair the vehicle problem, then list the items and major repair costs, here I He speaks.
The second, after the detection of the repair shop directly, then 150 dollars testing fees are not charged.
Of course, if you want to go out with the private shop compare prices before deciding where to repair, you can try to communicate with staff about that now can not repair, such as time of return repair could take the test fee again to include maintenance costs, this kind of high probability situation is to see how the negotiations.
The detection process, the master will first road test the car, you can say what you feel out of the question, then it will lift car detection, see the chassis and engine. To be honest, the car lifted after, I was pretty surprised, as 80,000 of own-brand sedan in 2012, first of all, it's true dual exhaust, not what fake unilateral exhaust. Second, it's rear suspension uses a four-link independent suspension, and is equipped with a balancing pole, even now under a lot of cars can not cost so much. And, it looks better than many of the support bar joint venture vehicle to be strong.
So After the tests are completed, 4S repair shop will be given a list of how much money it? After I finished the column really scared, exactly three lists, the total price for the 6360, that is to say, long after the lift car, almost technicians each position is seen want to change.
It is divided into three most clutch, gearbox, brakes. To be honest, the car's residual value will probably have about twenty thousand, not counting the cost of repairing these injuries on the exterior, front bumper replacement needs over 1000, but if you take the car damage said to be parked outside do not know who destroyed insurance companies 70?f the amount of claims, a small insurance company might not be. Two sheet-metal door on the left touch-up painting needs 1,000 yuan, such a look, with a total value of nearly 9000 yuan for the car, it was a bit unreasonable.
If a little experience, you can see from this list, in fact, many do not have replacement parts, such as some minor wear parts are listed on the list, as well as "(Pending)" this one, in fact, I do not know the problem exists or not, might want to change. If you really do not know the situation, it really would be to replace all, but some things really did not change to the node.
After reading this list, I decisively chose not to repair immediately, of course, I also suggest that the repair of some old car, should first 4S shop to shop and compare private detected, and see which one is more appropriate, as long as can fix the problem definitely do not need anything to replace the entire vehicle.
to sum up:
In fact, many people say that the 4S shop very pit, went to let you change this change that, but it does for End car will maintain the best condition, will not change the price of slightly more expensive but also more than a new car, then to the 4S shop repair may be more rest assured, but the old car, I suggest that you go to some private shop like problem-solving, eliminating some of the unnecessary expenses.
