To check if a new car has been repaired, you can visit a 4S store. Here are the specific methods to check if a new car has been repaired: Check the maintenance and repair records: You can go to a 4S store to check the maintenance and repair records, or use some third-party software to query the car's maintenance and repair records. If it's a new car and no insurance has been purchased, it's impossible to check the claim records. If there are no repair records at the 4S store, you can hire a used car appraiser to inspect the car. During the repair process, some traces may be left, which a professional used car appraiser can identify. Carefully examine the car's appearance and odometer reading. A new car won't have small bumps or dents. Open the engine hood and wheel covers, and carefully check if any screw caps show signs of being tampered with. New cars are generally assembled electrically, so there shouldn't be any manual tightening marks. Check the odometer's mileage. New cars are usually transported by truck, and if they are driven a short distance, it generally won't exceed 500 kilometers. However, be cautious of odometer tampering—check if the screws on the dashboard have been disturbed.

What are the effects of aging car window outer sealing strips?

Window sealing strip aging can cause noise during window operation, result in unsmooth movement, and even lead to complete malfunction. Prolonged issues may cause motor overheating and burnout, damage to the window regulator mechanism, deformation of glass brackets rendering them inoperable, and a series of other problems. If these symptoms are observed, inspect the window sealing strips. If aging is the cause, prompt replacement is necessary. Additional tip: Regular maintenance is crucial. If window noise or sticking occurs, use window lubricant. Functions of window lubricant: 1. Provides lubrication, reducing friction between the sealing strip and window glass, effectively eliminating mechanical noise and resolving window noise/sticking issues. 2. Also effectively cleans window stains, prevents sealing strip aging and corrosion, restores flexibility, prevents water leakage, and offers moisture-proof sealing functions.
