Do I need to collect the annual inspection sticker for a new car in its second year? The so-called six-year exemption from inspection for new cars means that eligible vehicles do not need to undergo on-site inspection at a testing station, but they still need to renew the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office every two years, which is part of the annual review. Items inspected during the annual inspection: If an on-site inspection is required, the vehicle must be driven to the inspection line for testing. The inspection line will check the car's braking system, lighting system, exhaust emissions, chassis, etc. Cases where the annual inspection cannot be passed: If any of the inspection items fail to meet the standards, the car will not pass the annual inspection. During the on-site inspection, it is also necessary to bring the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory insurance policy, and the owner's ID card.

Do 4S shops use touch-up paint pens for spot painting?

4S shops use touch-up paint pens for spot painting. More details about touch-up paint pens are as follows: 1. Introduction: A touch-up paint pen is a tool for repairing car scratches. Simply select the appropriate model that matches the original color of the car paint. Applying the touch-up paint pen to small scratches or areas where the paint has peeled off can repair, conceal, and fill in the damage. 2. Precautions: The composition of a touch-up paint pen is generally the same as the original car paint. Since car models vary, only specialized touch-up paint pens can be used for different cars. For larger, longer, or deeper scratches, a touch-up paint pen can only provide temporary concealment and cannot achieve the same effect as a full paint repair.

Will the 4S shop perform internal rust prevention after sheet metal work?

4S shops generally do not perform internal rust prevention after sheet metal work. Under normal circumstances, the protection provided by electrophoretic paint is considered sufficient, so they often skip additional protective measures. Nowadays, larger 4S shops will apply wax treatment, which involves spraying a layer of wax inside the sheet metal to compensate for any deficiencies in the electrophoretic coating. Below are some precautions to take after gasoline painting: After painting, pay attention to cleaning: Try not to use water other than soft water, including hot water, alkaline water, and water with high hardness, as these components can damage the paint. If hard water is used to clean the vehicle, it may leave marks on the paint surface after drying. Avoid exposing the car to direct sunlight: This can affect the car's paint surface and accelerate its aging. Do not use high-pressure water streams to wash the car body: If there is hard dirt on the car, it should be soaked with water first and then rinsed. Pay attention to the water flow method; use dispersed water streams for cleaning, as excessive water pressure can also damage the car's paint surface. Use detergents: If there are stubborn stains on the car body, choose detergents with different properties. If there are dead insects or other biological residues on the car body, soak them with soapy water first; then clean with a water-soaked sponge.

What's the difference between modifying ambient lights at a 4S store and a modification shop?

The difference between modifying ambient lights at a 4S store and a modification shop is that modification shops often lack accountability when problems arise due to staff quality and management issues, leading to buck-passing and complaints. To put it bluntly, there's no follow-up guarantee. Places like 4S stores have a complete management system for customer complaints, feedback, and claims, offering more professional services. Below is an extended introduction to the functions of ambient lights: Better mood: It can improve one's mood. Light is dynamic and can interact directly with people inside the car, automatically changing the interior lighting based on their mood and state. More spacious: It can make the car's interior appear larger. The increasing application of automotive interior contours in architectural design makes the combination of lighting and side profiles more brilliant and perfect. Interior designers also need to consider the relationship of interior space, much like architects do.
