Rights Protection More than 315 Vehicle Maintenance Fighter Flicker Four Raiders

With the advent of the “Consumer Protection Day” on March 15, how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers has once again become a topic of concern. With the increasing number of car owners today, vehicle maintenance has increasingly become the focus of vehicle owners.

Recently, for the four aspects of “Fudge” that consumers in the automotive maintenance industry are prone to “flicker”, the reporter interviewed brand dealers and several professional maintenance personnel and summed up the places where consumers are vulnerable to “flicker” when some vehicles are maintained. Hope to help you in the maintenance of your vehicle.

â–  Foil: The use of inferior film as a high-quality film for sale is a must for every vehicle owner. After the film is applied, it can not only act as an explosion-proof to the vehicle glass, but also can block the damage to the vehicle caused by ultraviolet rays and other factors. However, in the current vehicle film market, some businesses will still use the weaknesses of car owners who don't know much about the car films they have posted, and shoddy consumers.

“After the film is affixed, the owner of the vehicle will suffer from dizziness and blurred vision. This is a sign of poor quality film.” Fan Chunlei, manager of Hebei Aoite Automobile Service Co., Ltd., said that there are currently films in the automotive market. Subsequent phenomenon. The way it is often used is to use small-scale or privately-processed inferior films to sell as branded films. “The cost of the film produced by a small factory is about 60 yuan, but when it is sold to consumers as a branded film, its sales price has soared to over 2,000 yuan.”

According to Manager Fan, the formal brand foil should have a warranty card, a security logo, and an exclusive serial number, which can be queried on the official website of each brand. "In the current market, Weigu, 3M, Quantum Film and other brands can be trusted by consumers. Some consumers who have not seen brands should think twice before buying."

■Maintenance: Money is not spent, and conservation is not done. In addition to the film, vehicle maintenance is also one of the "homework" that car owners often need to do for cars. Due to the limited professional knowledge possessed by vehicle owners when carrying out vehicle maintenance, some merchants will use this unequal expertise to “fudge” consumers to benefit from it. “The aspect of consumers being cheated during maintenance is more common when the money is collected but the exchanged items are not changed.” Manager Fan told reporters that in this regard, problems that are prone to problems are air filtration and air filtration. Some merchants will charge consumers to replace gas filtration and air filtration at the time of maintenance charges. However, during maintenance, only these two parts are blown and not replaced. "These two parts are assembled in the car after maintenance, and consumers are not easy to find."

Similar to Fan's view, Xu Jiangtong, deputy general manager of Beijing Modern Hebei Shengwen 4S Store, also told reporters that for those who are not professional in car maintenance, they can choose to conduct regular vehicle maintenance in the 4S shop when they purchase vehicles. "The maintenance carried out in the 4S store will not only provide consumers with quotation in advance, but will also be able to carry out all-round maintenance of the vehicle in strict accordance with the manufacturer's requirements, thus ensuring the best interests of consumers."

■ Accessories: Vice factory parts to sell the original price For vehicle maintenance aspects of the accessories, the vice factory parts to serve as the original parts to earn the difference can be said that some businesses use the most profitable way. “In terms of accessories, counterfeit parts are used to impersonate the original parts and are mainly concentrated on the consumption equipment such as brake discs, brake pads and bumpers. The original price and the sub-factory price are almost double the price difference.” Chang Shifu, a professional in the maintenance industry for 15 years, explained that these consumables have been replaced with a high frequency, so that some businesses have targeted these accessories for profit. "Original parts, whether it is trademarks, site and code are very clear, but vice factory accessories are more vague. In addition, most of the original parts of the gloss is very good, the vice factory is relatively rough." Master Zhang told reporters, in order to To prevent being fooled by businesses, when consumers choose vehicle accessories, it is best to ask to see the packaging of the accessories, and pay attention to the fine degree of work of the accessories themselves.

■ tires: old tires refurbished in the tire maintenance, the business for the consumer's flicker is mainly focused on the use of retreaded tires as a new tire for sale, or the use of unusual small brand tires as imported tires. “Old tires are refurbished and sold, businesses can often earn 30% or more profits.” Mr. Wang, who has worked in tire maintenance work for 13 years, told reporters that because the old tires that were refurbished by businesses are mostly tires, their tires are used by themselves. Time is not necessarily too long, and consumers are not easy to find intuitively, but the sales price of such retreaded tires will usually be significantly lower than the regular new tire prices, so consumers should not be “cheap” when buying tires. It can be avoided as much as possible by buying refurbished tires.

In addition, for some uncommon tire brands, they must also be cautious when buying, in order to prevent businesses from using some of the tires that are not commonly used in English logos, to act as imported tires, to fool consumers, and to spend money.
