As the wipers are exposed to the outside for a long time, the wind and the sun will cause the rubber parts of the wiper to age. Therefore, the wiper really belongs to the consumable parts. Changing the wiper can be described as an essential skill for most car owners. It is simple and convenient to replace, so in Taobao and even major electricity suppliers have a very tempting product sales. Although the car's product manual did not specify the timing of replacing the wiper, the wiper must be replaced when the noise becomes louder.
Two brake pads

Probably costs: 130-1200 yuan
Brake pads are a component that affects the safety of driving. Whether the car can withstand or not, whether or not an accident can occur in times of crisis, depends heavily on this component. If it is judged by the thickness, it is generally necessary to change the residual thickness to 5mm. Or if the metal whistles of the brake pads and brake discs have already sounded, they must be replaced. Or whether the replacement time is determined frequently based on whether the vehicle is used frequently: 100,000 kilometers of people with less brake pedals are considered to be replaced, and 60,000 kilometers of people who step on much is almost the same.
It is worth noting that there are many types and brands of brake pads on the market, and quality cannot be distinguished simply by price. What's more important is that replacing this accessory requires a lift or garage to complete. Therefore, it is more important to choose a service workshop.
Three. Tires
Replacement frequency: 3 years 60,000 kilometers
Probably cost: 600-2500 (new)
According to the warranty period of the tire: There will be four digits on the sidewall of the tire to indicate the date of manufacture of the tire, with the first two representing the number of weeks and the last two digits representing the year. The use of tires generally does not exceed 3 years and the mileage does not exceed 60,000 kilometers.
The price of tires is relatively high, and many repair shops earn the difference by selling to owners without original equipment.
