What should the non-liable party pay attention to when assessing damages at a 4S shop?

Precautions for vehicle damage assessment: 1. First precaution: Determine the repair method for the damaged parts before vehicle repair. Generally, insurance companies prefer repairing damaged parts if they can be restored to normal functionality. Only if the damaged parts cannot be repaired should they be replaced. 2. Second precaution: Determine the amount of vehicle repair costs. Disputes often arise over the cost of vehicle repairs. Insurance companies usually assess repair costs based on the qualification level of the repair facility. For replacement parts, they quote prices according to the regional market price of the parts. However, some repair shops may charge higher prices for parts due to procurement channels or other reasons, or higher labor costs. In such cases, it is advisable to negotiate the total repair cost in the presence of the insurance company's damage assessor and the repair shop's reception staff.
