Zhejiang Hangzhou’s Ms. Lu had her million-dollar Porsche damaged during a car wash with an unmanned car wash machine, and the repair costs amounted to over ten thousand yuan. However, the other party was only willing to cover a thousand yuan, sparking widespread attention.
Ms. Lu stated to Jiangnan Urban Daily that the front bumper, wheel arches, rear mirror, and car paint of the car were scratched off, and the car body was torn, despite the car wash being carried out normally that day. In such a situation, the car wash facility must take responsibility.
The manager of the car wash technology department mentioned that the car wash technology is not as advanced as that in foreign countries, and they are not very clear about the compensation process.
