I've been driving for over a decade and have used insurance-designated repair shops several times. Most of them have been quite reliable. The shops selected by insurance companies are all qualified, reputable, and legitimate, so the quality is guaranteed. After repairs, the car's condition remains stable, and it saves time and hassle. The insurance covers the costs directly, so I don't have to worry about it. However, once my car's rearview mirror was installed crookedly, and I later found out that shop used second-hand parts disguised as new. Since then, I've learned to check online reviews before sending my car for repairs, especially feedback from car enthusiast forums, and to discuss details with the mechanics to confirm the use of genuine parts. Overall, the reliability of insurance-designated shops depends on the specific shop's professional ethics. Doing a bit more homework can help avoid pitfalls. When choosing, prioritize shops that have long-term partnerships with insurance companies—these tend to be more trustworthy. Otherwise, it might be better to spend a bit more at an independent repair shop.

What to Do When a Car Won't Start Due to a Dead Battery?

Here are the solutions for starting a car with a dead battery: 1. Push-starting is the most common and effective emergency starting method, but it should only be used as a last resort. Frequent use can cause damage to the engine and clutch, especially in automatic transmission vehicles, which should avoid this method. 2. To avoid being unable to charge the battery when it's dead, car owners should keep a set of jumper cables in the vehicle, available at general auto parts stores. However, when connecting the jumper cables, it's crucial not to reverse the connection order. First, connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue car's battery. Then, connect the negative terminal of the rescue car's battery to a metal part in the engine compartment of the dead car. 3. The most reliable method is to contact a rescue vehicle promptly, connect the jumper cables, and temporarily charge the battery to start the engine.

What are the reasons for the car radiator not circulating water?

The reason for the car radiator not circulating water is a blocked water pipe. The method to check for a blocked water pipe is: 1. Fill the radiator with water, cover the radiator cap, and start the engine; 2. Clamp the radiator hose and press the accelerator; 3. When the engine speed increases, if the hose shows suction and collapse, it proves the radiator is functioning normally; if not, it indicates a blockage. Precautions for car radiator water circulation: 1. When the engine's water temperature is high, the water inside the water pump circulates repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature. In winter, when the water temperature is low, the water circulation should be stopped to prevent the engine temperature from becoming too low; 2. When the engine coolant in the radiator boils at high temperature, the vaporization and expansion cause the pressure to exceed the set value, leading to overflow from the radiator cap for pressure relief, which can result in reduced coolant and burst pipes in the cooling system.
