Can I pick up my car from the 4S shop if the insurance company hasn't paid for the repairs?

Generally speaking, you cannot pick up your car if the insurance company hasn't made the payment. However, some 4S shops may allow the car owner to pick up the car by providing a guarantor or paying a certain deposit even if they haven't received the payment from the insurance company. Pay attention to verifying the vehicle information: This mainly includes the vehicle repair unit (owner's name), license plate number, engine number, chassis number, entry time and exit time (settlement time). The key points are the engine number and chassis number. The owner should carefully check these two numbers against those on the vehicle license to prevent the settlement staff from making input errors. Otherwise, in case of an accident, there might be no way to file a complaint. Ask questions about the repair items: Through the repair items listed on the settlement sheet, you can understand what repairs and maintenance operations the vehicle has undergone at the service station this time, whether they exceed the agreed repair items with the reception staff, and whether the labor cost is appropriate. It is recommended to review the items carefully and ask more questions to avoid losses.
