When picking up your car from a 4S shop after repair, the main thing is to check whether the car has been properly repaired. You should carefully inspect both the repaired and unrepaired areas. First, check if the repaired parts are intact. For example, for sheet metal repairs, check if the surface is smooth and even, without any dents. Next, inspect the exterior paint to ensure the color matches, in case the 4S shop repainted the car without authorization after scratches. Pay special attention to whether any new scratches appeared during the repair process. Additionally, check if all interior equipment is functioning properly. Finally, verify that all fluid levels in the car meet the standard. If the repair was covered by insurance, check whether the 4S shop followed the insurance company's damage assessment for the repairs. When bringing your car to the 4S shop for repairs, make sure to record the odometer reading and the remaining fuel level in the car. You can take a photo with your phone. If the technicians at the 4S shop drove your car out without permission during the repair period, you can detect this by checking the remaining fuel level and odometer reading.
