Should an Accident Vehicle be Repaired at a 4S Shop or a Repair Shop?

[LeAdriana]

Whether an accident vehicle should be repaired at a 4S shop or a repair shop depends on the condition of the vehicle. Below is relevant information: New Car: For a brand-new car that was recently purchased or hasn't been owned for long, it's definitely better to go to a 4S shop because the repair quality is superior, and the technicians are more skilled. If you choose to repair it at an ordinary repair shop at this stage, the quality cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, repairs at a 4S shop will result in a higher assessed damage cost. This is because the labor fees at 4S shops are more expensive than those at repair shops. If you opt for a repair shop, you won't be able to claim such a high price. Older Car: For a car that is more than two years old and has already passed its warranty period, you can choose to go to a repair shop. It's best to have a repair shop you're familiar with, so you can feel more at ease. However, when assessing the damage, you should state that you're going to a 4S shop for repairs. This way, you can receive a higher compensation, and then use the money to repair the car at the repair shop, leaving some extra funds for yourself to use as you wish.
