4S shop paint repairs can last for 3-5 years. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Factors affecting durability: The longevity of a 4S shop's paint job depends on the quality of the paint, the techniques and craftsmanship employed, as well as the professionalism of the staff. If some employees lack professionalism, they may cut corners in certain processes, ultimately affecting the quality of the paint job. Generally, if the entire car is repainted and properly maintained afterward, it can last 5-6 years. 2. Recommendations: If the vehicle's paint damage is not severe, it is not advisable to opt for a full repaint, as this means the car will no longer have its original factory paint. No matter how well the repaint is done, it is difficult to achieve the same effect as the original factory paint. Additionally, if you plan to sell the car in the future, not having the original factory paint can significantly reduce its resale value.

Does touching the line with the front of the car in the S-curve of Subject 2 result in point deduction?

Touching the line means the vehicle body crosses the line. In the Subject 2 driving test, crossing the line with the vehicle body results in a 100-point deduction, making the test attempt a failure. In addition to the vehicle body crossing the line, other actions that result in a 100-point deduction include failing to complete the reverse parking, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deductions, 10-point deductions, and 5-point deductions. The test is considered a pass under the following conditions: ① For applicants of large buses, trailers, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. If a candidate fails the Subject 2 test on the first attempt, they are allowed one retest on the spot. If the candidate does not take the retest or fails the retest, the test is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. During the validity period of the driving test permit, the number of test appointments for Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests must not exceed five. If the fifth test attempt is still unsuccessful, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated.

What Causes Loud and Squeaky Windshield Wipers?

Possible causes include excessive tension in the wiper arm spring or severe wear on the wiper blade friction surface. Here are relevant explanations: 1. Windshield Wipers: Wipers, also known as windshield wipers or windscreen wipers, are devices used to sweep away raindrops and dust adhering to a vehicle's windshield, thereby improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all automobiles worldwide are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also feature wipers. 2. Maintenance Notes: Wipers rely on friction between rubber strips and the windshield to remove impurities. If the wiper rubber strips accumulate dirt or small particles like sand, they can generate friction noise against the glass. This issue can be resolved simply by cleaning debris from the wiper rubber strips.

What is the total loss standard for flood-damaged vehicles?

The total loss standards for flood-damaged vehicles are as follows: 1. For vehicles where the floodwater in the passenger compartment exceeds the height of the instrument panel due to the accident, a presumed total loss approach can be adopted with the customer's agreement. The loss is determined based on the actual value amount, and the recovered vehicles should be uniformly processed through auction by the branch company. 2. For vehicles that do not meet the above total loss standard, normal loss assessment applies. If the repair cost quoted by the repair shop and verified by our company exceeds 80% of the actual value, a presumed total loss can also be negotiated and handled according to the above method. 3. For other special cases where the customer requests a presumed total loss approach, the matter should be reported to the general manager's office of the branch company's claims department for review.
