4S shops need to take photos of the vehicle license for record. The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits the vehicle to drive on domestic roads. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page is the signed core of the license, the back is the photo of the motor vehicle, and it is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed core of the license. The following is an introduction to the vehicle license: 1. The role of the vehicle license: The vehicle license is the legal document that permits the vehicle to drive on roads within China, consisting of the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. It is processed by the vehicle management center and is used to verify the authenticity of vehicle information. 2. The information on the vehicle license: The vehicle license records many important details, including the license plate number, the owner's name, the model type, the engine number and chassis number, the load capacity or seating capacity, the initial registration date, and the annual inspection records, etc.

When I go to a 4S shop for maintenance or repairs, they often ask to take photos of the vehicle license for record-keeping, mainly to confirm vehicle information and ownership and avoid service confusion. This helps speed up the process, such as verifying the VIN code and registration details, and allows for quick access to records in case of warranty issues. I’ve also noticed that when buying or selling a used car, taking photos can verify the vehicle’s history and prevent fraud. Although it’s not mandatory every time, providing photos of the vehicle license does make things more convenient for both parties. From experience, 4S shops require this step for record-keeping mainly for service efficiency and compliance reasons. It’s advisable to cooperate but be mindful of privacy and prevent sensitive information from being leaked. I always delete unnecessary parts before taking photos to ensure safety.

Taking photos of the vehicle license at 4S dealerships is a common practice. This facilitates archiving vehicle data, such as warranty status and vehicle age. I've noticed it helps reduce subsequent hassles, like verifying maintenance records or insurance claims. Some shops even use electronic systems to store the photos for remote access. As a car owner, I'm accustomed to this requirement—it makes services more efficient. If privacy is a concern, simply ask about the intended use.

Taking a photo of the vehicle license is a common practice for 4S stores to archive vehicle information, which I understand is to ensure service accuracy. During maintenance or transactions, this step helps quickly match the relevant data. If not provided, it may lead to additional time wastage. I recommend verifying the content is correct when taking the photo.

What is the difference between mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes?

The differences between mechanical disc brakes and hydraulic disc brakes are as follows: Difference in working medium: Hydraulic disc brakes use oil as the medium, utilizing the expansion of oil to drive the operation of the brake calipers. The oil used in hydraulic disc brakes is generally lightweight, with fewer impurities, good transparency, and light weight. Structural difference: Hydraulic disc brakes generally consist of three major components: the brake lever, the hose, and the oil cylinder, while mechanical disc brakes use a steel cable to connect the brake lever to drive the caliper system for braking. Difference in working principle: Hydraulic disc brakes adopt a dual-sided floating braking method, where both brake pads move simultaneously, fully contacting both sides of the disc to generate greater friction, enabling rapid braking. Mechanical disc brakes use a steel cable to connect the brake lever to drive the caliper system for braking. Most mechanical disc brakes typically use a single-sided floating caliper braking system, where one side remains stationary while the other side compresses, thereby tightening the caliper gap to create friction against the disc for braking.

How many tons can an eight-wheeler carry?

The eight-wheeler truck crane is the most purchased model by users, featuring wide applications, heavy load capacity, good passability, and high cost-effectiveness. According to national regulations, an eight-wheeler truck crane can generally carry about 9-10 tons of cargo without overloading. If overloaded within the vehicle's tolerance range, it can carry about 25 tons. The relevant introduction of the eight-wheeler is as follows: Introduction 1: Eight-wheelers are generally only available for large trucks, commonly referred to as double-axle vehicles, with two rows of wheels at the back, four wheels per row, and two wheels on each side. Introduction 2: The eight-wheeler is also known as an eight-wheeler dump truck or double-axle vehicle, referring to a vehicle that unloads cargo by hydraulic or mechanical lifting, also known as a tipper. It consists of components such as the vehicle chassis, hydraulic lifting mechanism, cargo compartment, and power take-off device.

What are the requirements for taking the second and third driving test subjects consecutively?

After passing the first subject, you can schedule the second subject and the third subject (road test) simultaneously. Once the appointment is successful, you can take the tests consecutively. Below are some tips for the third subject test: 1. Follow the instructions: Listen carefully to the voice prompts during the third subject test and act accordingly. Remember not to perform any actions before the voice prompt ends; always wait until the prompt is complete before proceeding to the next step. 2. Pay attention to special zones: In many areas, voice prompts no longer remind candidates of special zones such as school zones, bus stops, and crosswalks. However, candidates must still perform corresponding deceleration or yielding actions based on the project signs and road markings. For school zones, apply the brakes within 10 meters of the sign, keeping the speed below 30 km/h. For bus stops, apply the brakes within 10 meters of the sign, keeping the speed below 30 km/h. For crosswalks, decelerate by applying the brakes within 30 meters before the crosswalk, and stop to yield if pedestrians are crossing.

What brand is NGK spark plug?

NGK is actually a brand originating from Nagoya, Japan. Established in 1936, it initially focused on manufacturing spark plugs. Later in 1949, NGK Company expanded into NTK precision ceramics manufacturing. Over the years, NGK's business has expanded beyond Japan's limited territory and reached out to the world. The characteristics of NGK spark plugs are as follows: Feature 1: Ultra-wide range spark plugs. To dissipate a large amount of heat quickly, copper cores are embedded near the front end of the center electrode, creating a copper-core embedded structure. This design achieves ultra-wide range spark plugs that are resistant to burning and carbon deposits. Feature 2: Uses new ceramic high-alumina ceramics as the insulator. It has excellent insulation at high temperatures, ensuring reliable spark generation. It also has outstanding thermal conductivity, preventing excessive combustion, and strong resistance to thermal shock (rapid heating and cooling), along with high mechanical strength. Feature 3: Precision construction with excellent airtightness. The insulator and main metal are connected using special powder, ensuring excellent airtightness and a robust structure.

What Causes the Brake Noise in Mercedes-Benz GLC?

Mercedes-Benz GLC brake noise is caused by rust or hard spots on the brake discs, which usually occurs when the vehicle first starts moving and improves after a few brake applications. Below is relevant information: 1. The break-in period for a new car, where the break-in of the brake pads is a crucial part. Typically, after driving a few hundred kilometers, the brakes will feel more comfortable. Newly replaced brake pads also need a break-in period to better integrate with the old discs. Right after replacement, the brakes may feel very stiff, and it usually takes a few hundred kilometers of driving before they feel better. 2. For vehicles experiencing noise due to incomplete break-in, some owners resort to aggressive braking while driving to quickly break in the brakes. While this can accelerate the break-in process in a short time, it leads to more severe wear on the brake pads, effectively reducing their lifespan. Therefore, it is recommended to drive for a while longer and observe the situation, rather than artificially forcing excessive wear on the brake pads.
