The crisp sound of the engine, the soft touch of the leather steering wheel, and the faint scent of a new car… It’s an indescribably exciting feeling when you’re about to take delivery of your beloved vehicle. However, the process of receiving a new car/truck is more than just grabbing the keys and driving off. To ensure you receive your vehicle in perfect condition and avoid future hassles, let XE TẢI HÀ NỘI guide you through a detailed “handbook” for new vehicle pick-up in the article below!

1. Thoroughly Check Vehicle Documents

As Mr. Nguyen Van A, an expert in the automotive field, once shared, “Vehicle documents are as important as the engine itself!” Meticulously checking the paperwork is the first and crucial step. Make sure of the following:

• Sales Contract: The content is clear, with complete information about both parties, prices, promotions (if any), etc.
• Certificate of Vehicle Production (Factory Invoice): Verify that the chassis number and engine number match the contract.
• Warranty Booklet: Ensure it’s an official warranty booklet with complete information.
• Other Documents: Vehicle registration certificate, vehicle registration fee payment stamp, insurance, etc.

2. Examine the Vehicle Meticulously – “Diagnose” from Inside Out

Just like when you buy a valuable item, a thorough vehicle inspection is indispensable. Check the following:

2.1. Exterior:

• Bodywork: Inspect for dents, scratches on the body, even paint color, and consistent gaps between panels.
• Lights: Ensure all lights are working correctly and have sufficient brightness.
• Mirrors and Glass: Check if mirrors and glass are scratched or cracked, and operate smoothly.
• Tires: Verify that the tires are the correct type and size for the vehicle, have even wear, and standard tire pressure.

2.2. Interior:

• Seats: Check the material, stitching, seat adjustments, and seat belts.
• Dashboard: Ensure all buttons and screens are functioning properly.
• Sound System and Air Conditioning: Test the sound quality and cooling capacity of the air conditioning.
• Luggage Compartment: Check if the luggage compartment is spacious and clean.

3. Test Drive – Experience Being the “Driver”

“You only know if a car/truck is good after a test drive.” This saying always holds true when receiving a new vehicle. Take the time to test drive to feel the vehicle and detect potential issues (if any):

• Engine: Pay attention to whether the engine sounds smooth, its acceleration capability, and performance at different speeds.
• Transmission: Check if the transmission shifts smoothly without jerking.
• Braking System: Ensure the braking system works well and doesn’t pull to one side.
• Suspension System: Check if the suspension system operates smoothly when driving over rough roads.

4. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to inspect the vehicle when receiving it at the dealership?

A: Inspecting the vehicle upon receipt at the dealership is absolutely necessary. It helps you detect technical faults early (if any) and request the dealership to address them promptly.

Q: What should I do if I find a vehicle defect after taking delivery?

A: Contact the selling dealership or the vehicle manufacturer’s service center immediately for assistance with inspection and troubleshooting.
