4S shops typically retain the original part numbers of replaced components. When customers question the authenticity of a part, the 4S shop will use this number to verify the part. If the part information appears on the official website, it can confirm that the part is genuine. Here are some details about genuine parts: 1. Source: Genuine parts are usually supplied by secondary parts manufacturers designated by the OEM and will bear the logo of the OEM or its suppliers. 2. Price: Genuine parts generally cost 10% to 20% more than those available through other market channels. 3. Quality and compatibility: Genuine parts offer high quality and excellent compatibility.

I remember last time I bought new wiper blades at the 4S shop, they showed me the parts packaging box covered with genuine labels and anti-counterfeit codes. They also mentioned there was a manufacturer-provided certificate attached to the invoice. I carefully examined the part itself - it was engraved with the brand logo and serial number. The technician scanned the barcode on the spot using their system, proving it came directly from the manufacturer. The whole process took just minutes, but it gave me real peace of mind. If you're worried about authenticity, always ask the staff for the warranty document - that thing bears the official seal stamp, so you can hold them accountable if anything goes wrong. Although this verification method seems simple, it effectively prevents you from getting aftermarket parts. After all, genuine parts offer better compatibility and are more reliable for safety.

As someone who frequently visits repair shops, I've learned that 4S shops prove genuine parts mainly through several solid proofs: The part packaging must bear the OEM logo and manufacturer code; after installation, diagnostic equipment checks show the data matches the original vehicle system; purchase records are archived in the system, and staff can pull up electronic lists for you to see; plus a warranty period of over one year, all indicating legitimate sources. My advice is to keep a close eye in the shop and request to see the order form—counterfeiters can't replicate these details.

The guys at the 4S store explained to me that proving the parts are genuine is simple: the packaging box is printed with the car brand name and a verification code, which can be checked by entering it on the official website or app; the receipt must also state that it's a genuine part and be stamped with the store's seal. That's exactly what I did when I bought a battery—I confirmed it before paying.

Can a lost driver's license be used by others?

If a driver's license is lost, it could potentially be used by others for deducting points. However, legally, it is not permitted for someone to use a found driver's license to handle traffic violation points, as the license is strictly for the driver's personal use. If a lost license has been replaced with a new one, the lost license becomes invalid. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: Function: A driver's license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to be driven on the road, containing detailed information about the vehicle and its owner. Regulations: Drivers must operate a motor vehicle according to the vehicle type specified on their license and must carry both the driver's license and vehicle registration when driving. Driving without carrying a driver's license or vehicle registration will result in a 1-point deduction and temporary vehicle seizure until valid documents are provided.

How many people can a motorhome accommodate?

According to the standards of general small motorhomes, a motorhome can accommodate 4-6 people. However, if the length of the motorhome is less than 6 meters, the number of passengers must not exceed 6. Some motorhomes are also restricted to carrying no more than 5 people. The exact number of passengers allowed depends on the capacity indicated on the motorhome's certification. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Motorhomes are often referred to as 'homes on wheels,' combining the functions of both a house and a vehicle. However, their primary attribute remains that of a vehicle—a movable dwelling with home-like functionalities. Regulations: For trailer-type motorhomes, although they are not listed among the vehicle types prohibited from highways in the 'Road Traffic Regulations,' the 'Implementation Regulations of Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulate that 'small passenger cars are only allowed to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms, and trailers must not carry passengers.' Those that comply with this regulation are permitted on highways; otherwise, they are not allowed.
