2 Answers
The repair of a flattened front end of a car depends on different situations: 1. It can be repaired if there are dents or cracks on the exterior; 2. It cannot be repaired if the structural components of the car body are deformed or damaged. Car maintenance items include: 1. Replace transmission oil; 2. Replace transmission oil filter; 3. Replace brake pads; 4. Replace belts, spark plugs, and engine oil; 5. Replace air filter; 6. Replace fuel filter; 7. Replace oil filter; 8. Replace cabin air filter. The benefits of car maintenance are: 1. Ensures the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; 2. Effectively improves vehicle efficiency and reduces wear on parts and tires; 3. Prevents sudden problems during driving, ensuring personal safety; 4. Enhances overall vehicle performance; 5. Reduces noise and environmental pollution.
I just went through this - my old car's front end got smashed in a collision, scared me to death. Immediately took it to a repair shop for inspection. They said repairability depends on damage severity. For minor dents, sheet metal work can fix it, costing around 2,000-3,000 yuan. But if it's severe - like frame bending or critical component damage (e.g. radiator), repair becomes expensive and unsafe, possibly requiring full part replacement or writing it off. Mine had moderate damage - the mechanic spent two days straightening the structure and replacing light housings, then conducted crash tests to confirm safety before clearing it for road use. Cost over 5,000 yuan, but still better than scrapping. Always drive attentively, avoid sudden braking. After an accident, don't hesitate - get professional diagnosis immediately. Never keep driving damaged vehicles to prevent further damage.
