Why Do 4S Stores Recommend Replacing Car Doors?

[GrantDella]

Generally, the new car doors replaced at 4S stores are original factory doors, as many 4S stores do not allow the use of aftermarket parts for vehicle repairs. How to determine if a door needs to be replaced: If the car door has minor scratches or dents, it can be repaired, and there is no need to replace the door. However, if the door is severely damaged, deformed, or has a large area of damage, it should be replaced. A new door provides greater peace of mind. Disadvantages of replacing a car door: Car doors are not considered wear-and-tear parts. If a door has been replaced, there is sufficient reason to suspect that the car has been involved in a collision, classifying it as an accident vehicle. This can significantly depreciate the car's value, and if sold as a used car, the price may drop drastically. Additionally, replacing a door cannot fully replicate the original factory effect. Poor installation may lead to issues such as large gaps, noise, and looseness, which can also affect the car's structural rigidity.
