Car refurbishment, beautification, and accessories help the car become new for Spring travel. However, according to experts' recommendations, car owners need to pay attention to legal regulations to ensure that the car does not have problems when registering, such as not changing the paint color or applying decals that make it difficult to identify the car, causing confusion, and can still be fined. In addition, near Tet, there is a situation where some car repair garages can increase service prices indiscriminately, "taking advantage" of customers.
Therefore, to avoid this situation, before bringing the car to the garage, customers need to make an appointment, ask clearly about the price and need to determine their repair goals, what condition the car is in. Especially choose for yourself reputable addresses for repair and refurbishment.
