No. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight can affect the car paint, tires, and plastic interior components. Below are the impacts of prolonged sun exposure on vehicles: 1. Car Paint: Extended sun exposure accelerates paint aging and fading, causing the car body to lose its luster, affecting its appearance, and even leading to paint cracking, bulging, or peeling, which shortens the paint's lifespan. 2. Tires: Tires are made of rubber. Prolonged sun exposure can cause deformation, cracking, and reduced lifespan. Additionally, tire pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes. Under conditions of prolonged high-speed driving or sudden braking, localized overheating may lead to tire blowouts. 3. Health Impact: Most car interiors are made of plastic materials, with components glued together. High temperatures can release harmful gases like formaldehyde, posing health risks to occupants.

Differences Between Car Maintenance at 4S Shops and Outside?

Here are the specific differences between car maintenance at 4S shops and outside: 1. Cost: Maintenance at 4S shops is more expensive but comes with guarantees. For example, 4S shops provide vehicle inspections tailored to the specific model, as well as professional technicians and matching tools and equipment. In terms of spare parts, 4S shops have significant advantages, ensuring reliability and sufficient inventory. Sometimes, replacing certain parts or repairs can be faster. Outside auto repair shops offer lower maintenance costs but come with higher risks and less comprehensive after-sales service. 2. Time: Due to fewer vehicles being serviced, maintenance or repairs at outside shops are generally much faster than at 4S shops.
