【Car owner's car knowledge]There is a saying that it is difficult to buy a car, park it, maintain a car, and even more difficult to repair a car! Cars are bulk commodities, and they need regular maintenance. Once the warranty period expires, the trouble will be even greater. At present, what is the situation of some unscrupulous practitioners in the auto maintenance industry? Summarize several anti-flicker tricks for the "Fan Chefs".
One of the most common scams:Make a fuss, over-repair
Generally speaking, if there is something wrong with the car, it is relatively safe to go to the 4S shop of the regular manufacturer for special maintenance. In order to make more profits, some informal auto repair shops are easy to make a big fuss, and the place that is not sick is said to be sick. , Small faults are called big faults, which is a deceptive trick used by many repair shops.
【Anti-flickering trick】Shop around first, then choose a fixed repair station for a long time
When you go to a roadside shop to repair a car for the first time, it is best to bring a friend who is more knowledgeable. You can recommend it or shop around. You can also make full use of the network information query system to obtain a lot of useful information (such as credibility, etc.). Or choose a repair shop from the authorized repair station recommended in the manual provided by the manufacturer. For vehicle maintenance, it is best to select a fixed, manufacturer-designated special repair station for maintenance. In the case of "mobile" maintenance, when a larger part needs to be claimed, there will often be a situation where several manufacturers blame each other, bringing a lot of unnecessary trouble to the owner. Consistently staying in the same location is good for the integrity of the vehicle profile, which plays a key role in the event of a vehicle change.
The second common deception: shoddy, stealing
One of the biggest and most important means in the auto repair industry is to use the auxiliary factory accessories as the original factory accessories. Some repair shops will pick up the parts replaced by the previous customer and replace them with the next customer after repairing. In particular, the replaced batteries, tires and other components have become a stable source of income for the repair shop after refurbishment. A car has thousands of accessories, and now there are so many models of cars with tens of thousands of accessories. Even professionals cannot understand all the accessories, let alone ordinary car owners.
【Anti-flickering trick】Select the factory for key parts, sign a maintenance contract and ask for an invoice
Brushing domestic paint is still a trivial matter. Some repair shops will deceive consumers with shoddy accessories such as air filters, oil filters, gasoline filters, clutches, and brake pads. The use of these counterfeit spare parts will damage the early machines of the car, and may cause some machines to be scrapped in serious cases. Therefore, when car owners are repairing, they must emphasize that they use original parts in key parts. And after completion, be sure to indicate on the certificate what accessories are used. It is recommended to sign a car "maintenance contract". After repairing the car, you must ask for the unified formal invoice of the auto repair industry, and ask for the settlement list to be attached.
The third common deception: operating behind the scenes, cutting corners
Most car owners don't know much about maintenance knowledge, and some repair shops take advantage of this, saying that what is white is black, and you don't understand it anyway. Some repair shops are opaque when repairing the car, which means that you cannot see the process of repairing the car. In particular, roadside shops are likely to carry out black-box operations at this time. For example, the maintenance items listed on the list are not repaired, but they are still charged.
【Anti-flickering trick】Check on site, open your eyes and check carefully
Tiyu car owner: Make sure before repairing. Don't do anything that is not necessary. During the repair, people should come to check. In addition, be sure to ask for a car maintenance construction sheet, and carefully check each maintenance item and price, learn to read the maintenance statement, and finally remember to ask for an invoice. For key parts such as engine and gearbox, you must go to a regular 4S shop. It is recommended that car owners try not to choose roadside shops.
The fourth common deception: free bait, dark Chencang
There are a lot of repair shops that use the banners of "free" and "discount" during the holidays, which seem to be very cost-effective for car owners, but in fact the money is counted for you. This is the so-called essence of buying without selling.
【Anti-flickering trick】There are many kinds of maintenance costs, and the charging standards should be closely watched
Experts remind consumers that it is important to understand the charging standards of auto repair companies before repairing. Moreover, under the requirements of the industry management department, the maintenance unit must express the charging standard of the general repair item to the customer. Such as accessories markup rate (maximum limit) ex-factory price +25%, wholesale price +12%, imported accessories +30%. Retail purchase accessories are not allowed to increase the price, but a 3% purchasing fee is allowed. Generally, different projects require different considerations.
The fifth common deception
This is one of the most abhorrent black-hearted acts, even heinous. Some maintenance workers deliberately create faults in the car, so that consumers often come to repair the car. For example, some people stuff cotton into the exhaust pipe when replacing the muffler, so that the exhaust pipe is blocked, so that there will be no major accident, but the owner will often visit the door for maintenance. There are also some cars that have accidents, so that these black shops will only get worse and worse. Once they are not repaired, they will put the blame on the accident.
【Anti-flickering trick】Try to insure; either accumulate car repair knowledge, or only choose regular 4S shops
The most important thing is to choose an honest auto repair shop, don't trust the roadside shop. If you don’t pay attention to accumulating car repair knowledge, then try to get full commercial insurance. In the event of an accident or malfunction, go to a regular 4S shop. Although the price is slightly higher, the quality and integrity are guaranteed after all, because safety is the most important.
