When buying a new car, customers are often given some accessories and accompanying services by dealers or sales staff. However, not every gift is really necessary.
According to advice from Ninety Eight Auto Repair, Maintenance and Care Center (Cat Lai ward, Ho Chi Minh City), buyers should carefully research the quality, origin and construction method before deciding to receive it.
Consider heat-resistant films and surface coatings
According to Ninety Eight Auto, heat-resistant film is one of the accessories that car buyers should consider carefully if given as a gift. Film quality depends on the structure, solar resistance, light transmission and product origin.
Therefore, instead of just being concerned about whether to receive free gifts or not, car owners should ask dealers to provide clear information about the brand, product code and specifications.
Similarly, with nano or ceramic coating packages, it is necessary to clearly distinguish these two types. True ceramic coating creates a protective coating on the paint surface and requires a relatively strict preparation, cleaning, surface adjustment and construction process.
Meanwhile, some products called nano coatings may only create a glossy effect and water resistance in a short time. The actual effectiveness depends on the product composition and construction process.
If a ceramic coating package is given, the car owner should clearly ask where to do it. This stage requires a clean environment, reduced dust and well-prepared surfaces. A grain of dust or impurities that enters the coating during construction can affect the finishing quality.
Floor mats should prioritize hygiene
Another accessory to consider is 5D, 6D, 7D floor mats... Especially, if the mat is fixed unreliably, after a period of use it may be unstable, causing discomfort when getting on and off the car.
For covering carpets, moisture and dirt retention also need to be noted. If cleaning is not done properly or water stagnates for a long time, the floor area and the felt layer underneath may smell moldy.
A more practical option is TPE plastic carpets designed to fit the car floor, combined with a layer of fabric mat at the foot position. The fabric mat can be removed and washed, helping to retain soil, sand and water before they come into contact with the main carpet layer.
Steering wheel cover may vary depending on demand
Steering wheel covers are accessories that can be received if the car owner really needs them. Some types help increase thickness and grip, but not everyone needs them.
For long-term car users, the choice of accessories should be based on actual needs instead of advertised value. The most important thing is to check product quality, compatibility and installation to avoid turning accessories into costs incurred after receiving the car.
