As a technician who works with cars every day, I can share what the after-sales service at a 4S shop specifically entails. It mainly involves helping car owners maintain and repair their vehicles to ensure they run safely and reliably. Daily tasks include routine maintenance, such as changing engine oil and filters, inspecting brake systems and tire balancing—handling dozens of cars each month is the norm. There’s also the repair aspect; when faced with emergency breakdowns, we diagnose faults using specialized computers to read error codes, then fix engines, electronic systems, or replace parts. Handling warranty claims free of charge during the coverage period is something car owners highly value. Additionally, accident repairs often involve using professional tools for bodywork and painting. On the logistics side, parts inventory management is crucial, as a well-stocked warehouse allows for quick replacement of worn components. The entire process is a team effort: the front desk records customer needs before we get to work, followed by testing to ensure quality. Customer feedback helps refine service details, making the experience smoother.

Is It a Violation to Run a Red Light Behind a Large Vehicle?

In general, if a motor vehicle is photographed running a red light behind a large vehicle, it is usually because the driver tried to rush through the intersection when the signal was changing. This behavior can only be penalized as running a red light. However, if it is confirmed that the driver could not see the traffic signal due to the obstruction of the large vehicle, they can apply for reconsideration after being penalized. Drivers should maintain sufficient visibility to see the traffic signals ahead and ensure a safe braking distance. Penalty points for running a red light: According to Article 2, Clause 1, Subclause 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in a deduction of 6 points. Article 3, Clause 1, Subclause 8 states that driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or markings will result in a deduction of 3 points. How to check for red-light violations: You can check for red-light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in with your ID card, find the option for violation handling, and click on it. In the violation handling section, you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there is a violation, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of the traffic police departments in various cities and districts and using the touch query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: find the vehicle violation query section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query.

Why Does the Windshield Crack by Itself?

Here are the specific reasons why windshields crack by themselves: 1. Heating and cooling during the laminated glass manufacturing process: Windshield cracks usually occur at the edges of the glass, primarily due to the heating and cooling process during laminated glass manufacturing. This process creates internal tensile stress and surface compressive stress in the glass. The glass remains stable when these forces are in balance, but if not, it may crack spontaneously. 2. Exposure to cold water after being in the sun: If car glass is exposed to cold water after being in the sun, the extreme temperature change may also cause the glass to crack. 3. Recommended actions: If the windshield cracks by itself, pull over immediately and do not continue driving. For safety reasons, it is recommended to replace the windshield directly.

When is the implementation time of China VI emission standards in Shandong?

The "China VI standard" is divided into two phases: "China VI a" and "China VI b," and is planned to be uniformly implemented nationwide in 2020 and 2023, respectively. The implementation of China VI emission standards in Shandong also follows a two-step approach. China VI a was implemented starting from July 1, 2019, and from this date, the registration of China V vehicles was also halted. China VI b will be implemented starting from July 1, 2023, at which point the registration of China VI a vehicles will be restricted. More information about China VI is as follows: 1. The two standards of China VI: Namely, China VI A and China VI B. China VI A can be seen as a transitional phase from China V to China VI, with lower emission requirements compared to China VI B. Therefore, China VI B is the complete and true China VI standard. 2. During the implementation of China VI: There will be at least a one-month transition period after the implementation of China VI. For vehicles purchased before July 1, 2020 (excluding July 1, based on the date of the purchase invoice) or transferred from other provinces or cities into Shandong (based on the transfer registration date on the vehicle registration certificate) that meet the China V emission standards, the traffic management department of the public security organ can process vehicle registration procedures within one month after the implementation date specified in this notice. Registration will not be processed after the deadline.

What causes excessive carbon monoxide in car exhaust?

Excessive carbon monoxide levels are usually caused by a faulty catalytic converter leading to emission exceedance. Common reasons for high carbon monoxide include: 1. Carbon deposits: Caused by carbon buildup and coking (excessive throttle valve opening, oversized spark plug gaps, excessive intake system carbon deposits, etc.). 2. Oxygen sensor: If emission tests show exceedance, first check the oxygen sensor's working status with a diagnostic tool (oxygen sensors activate only when engine temperature exceeds 90°C). A faulty oxygen sensor may cause nitrogen oxide exceedance; oversized spark plug gaps lead to carbon monoxide exceedance; excessive carbon deposits result in hydrocarbon value exceedance.

Can Alcohol Be Stored in a Car?

Private cars carrying alcohol pose certain safety hazards, and it is recommended not to carry alcohol if possible. If alcohol must be carried, attention must be paid to its concentration and quantity, as alcohol is a flammable and explosive substance. Once a certain concentration and quantity are reached, it constitutes illegal activity. Below is more information about alcohol: 1. Brief Description: The concentration of medical alcohol is generally 75% or 95%. The ignition point of pure alcohol is 363 degrees Celsius, and the lower the alcohol concentration, the higher the ignition point. 2. Precautions: If a car owner carries medical alcohol while driving, they must ensure no smoking inside the car, that the packaging container of the medical alcohol is leak-proof and undamaged, and monitor for any leakage during the journey to avoid potential safety hazards to passengers.
