Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-type damage; passive safety devices defective; vehicle performance (including three-electric system) degraded or performance limited after repairs.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts damaged, panels damaged, hinges abnormal. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 2 sheet metal repairs, 1 repaint. Interior: most functions normal, airbag normal, seatbelt normal, dashboard normal, instrument check normal, lighting system normal. Start-up check: main components normal. Onboard tools: none.
Testing is mandatory. Troubleshooting electrical devices in the car is part of the standard procedure. We will test the window lift motors, mirror folding, air conditioning compressor and fan, electric seat tracks, etc. Any stuttering or failure of electronic components will be recorded.
The technician will put the vehicle in neutral on the lift, rotate the wheels, and listen for any abnormal metal gear whine from inside the motor reducer, and check for gear oil leaks at the joints of the reducer housing.
For older vehicles or those used in high temperature and humidity areas, we will focus on opening the hood to check if the insulation of the wiring harness in the high-temperature area of the engine compartment is cracked or brittle, to identify potential short circuit risks that could lead to spontaneous combustion.
