Is It Safe to Leave Your Car at a Repair Shop?

It is safe to leave your car at a repair shop, but you should remove any valuables. Here is more relevant information: Designated Repair Shop Special Clause: Generally, the repair costs at a 4S shop are much higher than those at a regular repair shop. Therefore, many insurance companies, considering cost issues, often prefer customers to have their cars repaired at regular repair shops. However, customers, for peace of mind, prefer to go to 4S shops. Such conflicts between insurance companies and policyholders often arise during the vehicle damage insurance claims process. To resolve this issue, upon application by insurance companies, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued an approval, agreeing that six insurance companies, including Pacific Property Insurance and PICC Auto Insurance, could use the "Designated Repair Shop Special Clause" and corresponding rates. This helps mitigate the conflict between high-end car owners who are willing to pay higher premiums for 4S shop repairs and insurance companies. When repairing your car at a repair shop, pay attention to the following points: (1) Oil Change: The amount of oil needed for a car is typically between 4 to 5 liters, often leaving you in the awkward situation of one barrel not being enough and two barrels being too much. (2) Mechanical Parts: It is nearly impossible to tell whether mechanical components are of good quality or have been refurbished. (3) Brakes: When you notice a decrease in braking power, they might directly suggest replacing the brake pads or discs. In reality, simply cleaning them with a cleaning agent and changing the brake fluid can often solve the problem.
