How to inspect the car? This is my first time to have my car inspected. What steps and procedures are required?

Take a look at the appearance

Generally, from the manufacturer to the first-level dealer and then to the second-level dealer, it has been transported many times before being handed over to you, so the appearance of the car is not guaranteed when you pick it up. Yes, bumps may occur during the process. Sometimes in order to save trouble, for some small scratches, I usually choose to repair them myself to cover them up.

This way you can’t see it in a dark place, but you can see it in the sun. Therefore, when picking up the car, you must check whether the appearance of the entire car is smooth and the color is consistent.

Second look at the engine nameplate

If the overall color of the paint is dull, the wipers and door seals are aged, and there are rust on the brake discs, bottom of the car, etc., you can infer that it is You can tell whether it is a stock car by being outside for a long time and combined with the date of manufacture on the vehicle's engine nameplate.

Generally speaking, as long as domestic cars are within three months and imported cars are within six months, there is no need to worry too much. If the production date is too far back, it means that the car is likely to be a test drive or a show car. You don’t need to continue checking, just ask for a replacement!

Third look at the interior

After inspecting the appearance, you need to go inside the car to inspect the interior, such as the vehicle interior, seats and plastic parts. Generally, there are no major problems. However, you still need to make sure that every function can operate normally, that there is no damage to the interior, odor, etc., and that you use all the functions that can be used to ensure that everything is foolproof.

Fourth Look at the Chassis

Most car owners will not check the chassis when picking up the car. In fact, the 4S store is obliged to cooperate with the consumer to check the chassis when delivering the car. We need to observe whether there is rust on the chassis, support or fluid leakage, and if so, replace the car immediately.

Five checks on the engine oil

When you first pick up the car, the odometer is usually within ten kilometers or dozens of kilometers, so when you pull out the engine oil dipstick and check, you will find that the engine oil dipstick is still relatively good. It is transparent. If it turns black or contains impurities, please pay attention.

Sixth Look at the Tires

New car tires should be normal and undamaged, and the tire hair should also be visible. If the road conditions in the city where you picked up the car are good, but the tire hair has been worn to the point where you cannot see it, then there may be a problem with it.

Finally, the car must be driven for a few laps. After all tests are completed, we finally need to drive our new car on the road to test it to see if the engine sound is normal, whether the accelerator and brake responses are sensitive, and if everything is Normal, it means that you have got a good car and you can pay the money and leave. If there is a slow response, abnormal noise, etc., you need to find a salesperson to solve it in time.
