You can go to a 4S shop for car maintenance on rainy days. Car maintenance generally involves routine internal servicing conducted indoors, which is not significantly affected by rainy weather. When it's time for maintenance, you should proceed with it as scheduled maintenance can extend the vehicle's lifespan and ensure driving safety. During the rainy season, pay attention to the following maintenance aspects for your car: 1. Brake system maintenance: Brake fluid tends to mix with water. Due to the high humidity in the air, water vapor can accumulate in large quantities on the brake reservoir and easily enter the brake fluid. The presence of gas in the brake fluid, when compressed, can lead to brake failure or inefficiency. Therefore, after continuous rainy days, it's important to check the brake fluid and perform a brake system bleeding process. 2. Wiper system and drainage system maintenance: During regular maintenance, promptly inspect the functionality of all switches and gear positions. Also, pay attention to the wiper blades and replace them in time when they fail to clean the windshield effectively. Ensure the cleaning of the drainage channels and holes located at the bottom of the front windshield to prevent rainwater accumulation, which could lead to water seeping into the car and potentially causing electronic control system malfunctions or damage. It's essential to unclog the drainage holes promptly to avoid water accumulation.

What is the process for car replacement?

At present, the car replacement business is booming. What should you pay attention to when replacing a used car? Currently, the car replacement process mainly includes the following aspects: vehicle evaluation, new car pricing, document verification, license plate transfer, and loan replacement. According to regulations, car owners can apply for a renewal quota directly without going through a lottery by scrapping or selling their old car. The small passenger car renewal quota confirmation notice serves as the proof of renewal quota. The quota management authority verifies the applicant's information based on the transfer or cancellation registration details of the sold or scrapped small passenger car provided by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Upon approval, the small passenger car renewal quota confirmation notice is published on the designated website. However, this renewal quota is valid for only 6 months. The car buyer must complete the vehicle registration procedures within 6 months from the date of obtaining the renewal quota. Failure to complete the procedures within the deadline will be regarded as voluntarily abandoning the renewal quota. However, if you replace your old car with a new one at a 4S store, these procedures can be handled by the 4S store in a one-stop manner. The car owner only needs to bring their ID card, the original purchase invoice of the old vehicle, the vehicle registration certificate, and the driving license, and hand them over to the staff of the 4S store to complete the replacement in one step.

Why Do License Plates Fall Off When Driving Through Water?

License plates tend to fall off when driving through water due to three main factors: installation method, material, and water flow. The details are as follows: 1. Installation Method: Many people prefer adding frames to their license plates, which often prevents the proper installation of the bottom two screws. Typically, license plates are secured with only two screws, primarily because many car bumpers are narrow and protrude forward. The limited width of these bumpers means they often only have two mounting holes for the license plate, leaving the plate in a suspended state with no screws at the bottom. 2. Material: License plates are usually mounted on the bumper, which is commonly made of modified polypropylene. While this material provides cushioning during collisions, is lightweight, and helps reduce fuel consumption, it can deform under external force. When driving through water, the rapid flow can pull the screws out of the deformed bumper, causing the plate to fall off. 3. Water Flow: There is often a gap between the license plate and the bumper. When a vehicle drives through water, the water hitting the bumper is forced upward and into this gap, creating an outward pushing force on the plate. As the vehicle moves through the water, this force causes the plate to wobble back and forth, eventually leading to it being washed away.
