Can I pick up my car at a 4S store on weekends?

4S stores are generally closed for car pickups on weekends because government departments are off, and the vehicle management office is also closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Temporary license plates require processing through the vehicle management office, and many procedures cannot be completed during weekends. Therefore, it is not advisable to pick up your car at a 4S store on weekends. However, if you have made an appointment in advance and selected a temporary license plate, you may be able to pick up your car on weekends. Tips for first-time car buyers: 1. Inspect the exterior of the car: Check the engine compartment and undercarriage for any repair marks, pay attention to the gaps between body panels, open the doors, and observe whether the paint inside and outside the car matches and if the car windows are intact. 2. Inspect the interior space: Check the multimedia system, storage compartments, lights, audio system, air conditioning, seats, seat belts, power windows, and other configurations. 3. Check the engine condition: Start the car and let it idle, then open the engine hood to listen for any abnormal engine sounds. After stopping the car, pull out the dipstick to check the engine oil. If the oil appears black, be cautious about the car's condition.

Hey buddy, my weekend car pickup experience last time was quite interesting! I was in a hurry to change my car, so I rushed directly to the 4S store on Saturday. The sales guy said it was totally fine. However, you need to make an appointment two days in advance because they need to reserve time for the technician to perform the PDI inspection, and even car washing and waxing need to be scheduled. Sunday is actually more convenient, with hardly anyone there if you go at 10 in the morning. I even ran into a scene where a brother brought his whole family to pick up the car—it was lively! The only thing to note is that the finance department doesn’t handle loans on weekends, but if you pay in full, you can drive away right then and there! Nowadays, even some high-end brand showrooms are brightly lit on weekends, after all, working folks only have time on weekends.

As a seasoned car enthusiast, I often assist friends with vehicle pickups. Most brand dealerships now operate all day on Saturdays, but may close earlier on Sundays. Three key reminders: First, popular models may have long queues on weekends - I recommend weekday mornings for the fastest service. Second, the delivery area gets crowded on weekends, so inspect the paintwork more carefully. Third, remember to bring all required documents - I once saw a young man make a wasted trip forgetting his residence permit. Also, some dealerships don't process temporary licenses on Sundays, so it's best to confirm by phone in advance.

Just accompanied my bestie to pick up her new Fit last Saturday, and the 4S dealership was as bustling as a wet market! The salesperson mentioned weekends are actually their busiest time since most people work weekdays. We arrived at 10am, spent over an hour completing paperwork, and the technician even gave us an on-site infotainment system tutorial. However, the after-sales department had limited weekend staff, so modification parts installation had to wait for weekdays. Personally, I think choosing Sunday morning was wisest - we could enjoy afternoon tea while test driving the new car!
