If a new car is damaged by hail, it can be repaired through paintless dent repair or bodywork and repainting. Here are the relevant details: 1. Paintless Dent Repair: If the dent is not severe and the paint is not damaged, the ideal solution is to use paintless dent repair technology. This technique utilizes optics, mechanics, and lever principles to press out the dent from the inside of the car body. Paintless dent repair can fix the dent while preserving the original paint, and the repair time is short with relatively low costs. 2. Bodywork and Repainting: If the damage is more severe, bodywork and repainting may be required. The results of bodywork repair are also good, but the original paint will be lost in the repaired areas. If the damage is very serious, the entire car may need to be repainted.

How to Drive a Semi-Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting, place the gear in P (Park) or N (Neutral), then press the brake and start the car. Slowly release the brake, let the car move a few meters before accelerating. On smooth roads, you can keep driving in D (Drive) gear. For semi-automatic transmission cars, it's best to shift to P (Park) before turning off the engine and removing the key to protect the transmission. In heavy traffic, switch to manual mode promptly. If the speed is around 20 km/h, shift to 2nd gear; for speeds above 30 km/h, use 3rd gear. Semi-automatic cars mainly feature a semi-automatic transmission that combines manual and automatic shifting.

How to Fix a Car Door Latch That Won't Spring Back?

Use a flathead screwdriver, place it in the flat groove and tap it with a hammer. This is done to loosen the threads. Align the screw, then strike the screwdriver with a hammer. On one hand, this ensures the screwdriver fits snugly into the screw head; on the other hand, the impact will loosen the rounded screw, making it easier to turn. On the rounded part, use a hard knife to carve a cross or straight line shape. A straight line is simpler—carve it deep, then use a flathead screwdriver to remove it. Reverse the use of a small drill bit to first drill a hole into the rounded screw, then screw in a reverse-threaded tap to create internal threads.

How to Check Accident Records and Maintenance Records for Used Cars?

Use the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to query. It is located at the bottom left corner of the car's windshield and can also be found on the vehicle registration certificate. Then, use the VIN to query on third-party platforms. Bring the vehicle's proof materials and registration certificate to a 4S shop for inquiry. Provide the policy number and ID number to the insurance company's customer service for inquiry. Click "Query Now," and generally, you can obtain the report within 5-20 minutes. If querying at night, data maintenance for some car models' 4S shop servers may be in progress.

How to Lift Up the Windshield Wiper on a Lexus?

First, turn off the Lexus ES, then within 10 seconds, activate the windshield washer switch by pulling the control lever toward the driver. Alternatively, you can use the physical button to activate it, after which the wiper will automatically move to the center of the windshield, allowing you to manually lift it up. To reset, place the wiper back in the middle position and turn on the wiper switch while the car is powered on. If the windshield is dry, avoid directly turning on the wiper switch to prevent friction against the glass, as there may still be some impurities on the surface.
