Is it necessary to replace brake pads at a 4S shop?

Brake pads do not necessarily need to be replaced at a 4S shop; they can also be replaced at a repair shop or even by yourself. The cost of brake pads varies depending on the location, vehicle model, and the material of the brake pads. Outside of 4S shops, the quality of brake pads may differ, and it cannot be guaranteed whether they are original. Below is some relevant information: 1. Whether the brake discs need to be replaced can be determined by yourself. Each person's driving habits have a certain impact on the replacement of brake pads. If they are replaced based solely on a uniform mileage standard, it may lead to waste or excessive wear, posing potential hazards. Generally, new brake pads are about 1.5 cm thick. If they wear down to one-third of their original thickness, meaning less than 5 mm, it is recommended to replace them promptly. 2. A good and efficient braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force. The working principle of braking mainly relies on friction, involving the friction between the brake pads and the brake discs (or drums) as well as the friction between the tires and the ground. When replacing brake pads, it is advisable to use original spare parts provided by the manufacturer. Only in this way can the braking effect between the brake pads and the brake discs be optimal, with minimal wear. You should choose brake pads produced by reputable manufacturers, which have a license number, specified friction coefficient, and comply with execution standards. The packaging should include a certificate of conformity, production batch number, and production date.

How to Tell if a Car is a Stock Vehicle When Buying?

Methods to identify a stock vehicle when purchasing a car are: 1. After a new car leaves the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires may deteriorate due to prolonged storage without periodic inspection and maintenance, leading to issues like moisture damage and aging. 2. For stock vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products cannot be detected without professional testing equipment. Many overstocked vehicles may experience oil or power shortages. Additional information: 1. The term "stock vehicle" is specific to the automotive sales industry, referring to new cars that have remained unsold for an extended period after leaving the factory. 2. Generally, cars that have been in storage for over three months or six months are considered stock vehicles.
