There is a saying that it is difficult to buy a car, it is difficult to park, it is difficult to raise a car, and it is difficult to repair a car! Cars are bulk commodities, and they are regularly maintained. Once the warranty period expires, the trouble is even greater. Because for most home users who only know how to drive, in the maintenance and repair of the car is definitely a "outer" and "novice", do not spend more money, not only the car is not repaired, but also buried a safety hazard. Then, what are the “shadows” of the auto repair industry that are difficult to distinguish between true and false? What is the current situation of some bad practitioners in the auto repair industry? Xiaobian here summed up a few anti-flicking tricks for the "Fan chefs".

 

One of the common tricks:

 

Make big fuss, over-maintenance

 

In general, the car has a problem, to the regular manufacturers special maintenance 4S shop is relatively stable, and some informal car repair factory in order to earn more profits, it is easy to make a fuss, no disease is said to be sick Small problems are said to be a big problem, which is a tricky trick used by many repair shops.

 

[Case Playback] Mr. Ding, who lives in Xihu District, has encountered such an arrogant thing: "I bought this car for less than a month, and occasionally I will turn off the fire after I step on the brakes. I went to the first repair shop, repaired. The worker said that this is an automatic shifting fault. I suggested that I overhaul it. I went to the second repair shop. The repairman said that the vacuum tube was broken. I had to spend two hundred yuan. But when I went to the third repair shop, the worker changed it for me. A relay was repaired and it cost tens of dollars."

 

[Anti-flicking tricks] First, shop around, then choose a fixed repair station for a long time.

 

When you first go to the roadside shop to repair a car, it is best to bring a friend who is more knowledgeable. You can recommend it by a friend or shop around, or you can make full use of the network information query system to get a lot of useful information (such as credibility, etc.). Or select a repair shop from the special service station recommended in the manufacturer's instructions. For vehicle maintenance, it is best to choose a fixed, factory-specified special service station for maintenance. If “flowing” maintenance, when there is a need to claim for a large part, there will often be several manufacturers pushing each other out, bringing a lot of unnecessary trouble to the owner. If you consistently adhere to the same location, it is conducive to the integrity of the vehicle file, and once the vehicle changes, the complete vehicle file will play a key role.

 

Common deception two:

 

Shoddy, stealing the column

 

One of the biggest and most important means in the auto repair industry is to use the deputy factory parts as the factory accessories. Some repair shops will pick up the parts that were replaced by the previous customer and then transfer them to the next customer after repair. In particular, the replacement of batteries, tires and other components, after renovation, has become a stable source of money for the repair shop. There are thousands of accessories in a car. Now there are so many models of cars, and there are tens of thousands of accessories. Even professionals can't understand all the accessories, let alone ordinary owners.

 

[Case replay] Mr. Zhao: "My car was smashed two months ago. I went to a repair shop for repair. I didn't expect the repairman to use the domestic paint, but I received the imported paint of 900 yuan. Money. As a result, it was not until two months, the paint fell. I forgot to take the invoice or something, and now people don't recognize it. No way, I can only re-brush it again."

 

[Anti-flicking tricks] key accessories selected factory, to sign a maintenance contract and ask for an invoice

 

Brushing domestic paint is still a trivial matter. Some repair shops will use the air filter, oil filter and gasoline filter, clutch, brake pad, etc., which are most often used to deceive consumers. The use of these counterfeit parts will cause damage to the early machine of the car, which may cause some machines to be scrapped. Therefore, when the owners are repairing, they must emphasize that they use the original parts in key parts. And after completion, be sure to indicate on the voucher what accessories are used. It is recommended to sign a car "maintenance contract". After repairing the car, you must ask for a uniform formal invoice for the auto repair industry and ask for a checklist.

 

Common scams three:

 

Black box operation, cut corners

 

Most car owners don't know much about maintenance. Some repair shops use this point and say white to black. You don't understand it anyway. Some repair shops are opaque when repairing vehicles, which means that you can't see the process of repairing the car. In particular, roadside shops are likely to perform black-box operations at this time. For example, the maintenance items listed on the list are not repaired, but they are collected.

 

[Case Playback] Mr. Wang’s vehicle mileage is as fast as 80,000 kilometers. The roadside shop said that the engine had to be overhauled and spent 4,000 yuan. Mr. Wang also felt very cheap. Can come back soon, the vehicle is now faulty, to the professional 4S shop found that the roadside shop to do, just deal with the valve oil seal aging and piston ring wear, stuck and other small problems, there is no major repair.

 

[anti-flicking tricks] on-site viewing, polished eyes carefully check

 

Raise the owner: Be sure to confirm before repairing, do not need to do it, do not do it, in the repair, people will be present to see. In addition, be sure to ask for a car repair construction order, and carefully check the various maintenance items and prices, learn to see the maintenance statement, and finally remember to ask for an invoice. For the engine, gearbox and other key parts must go to the regular 4S shop, it is recommended that the owner should not choose the roadside shop.

 

Common deception four:

 

Free bait, darkness

 

There are quite a few repair shops that play the "free" and "preferential" flags on holidays, which seems to be a special calculation for the owners. In fact, the money is counted in for you. This is the so-called buying and not selling fine.

 

[Case Playback] Ms. Wei told reporters that her car has been maintained in the same store. The staff in the store said that they can repair it for a long time and enjoy VIP treatment and free time. However, she drove back to her hometown on May 1 and did a maintenance job at her hometown. She found that she spent less money than before. She looked at the bill carefully and found that the cost of the accessories during the original maintenance was higher than other places, so that the exempted working hours were returned.

 

[Anti-flicking tricks] Maintenance costs are many, the charging standard should be fixed

 

Experts remind consumers that it is important to understand the charging standards of car repair companies before repairs. Moreover, at the request of the industry management department, the maintenance unit must clearly indicate the charging standard for the general repair project to the customer. Such as the increase rate of accessories (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% purchase fee is allowed. Generally, different project costs require different considerations.

 

Common deception five:

 

Manufacturing failure, the more repaired the worse

 

This is one of the most repugnant black-hearted behaviors, even horrifying. Some maintenance workers deliberately create faults for the car, allowing consumers to come to repair the car frequently. For example, some replace the silencer to the exhaust pipe to plug the cotton, so that the exhaust pipe is blocked, so that there will be no major accidents, but the owner will often come to the door for maintenance. There are also some cars with accidents, so that these black shops will only be repaired more and more bad. Once they are not repaired, they will push the responsibility to the accident.

 

[Case replay] Ms. Li’s car did not buy commercial insurance. In a traffic accident that she was fully responsible for, the front bumper of the vehicle was hit and fell off. When the roadside shop was repaired, the maintenance worker moved his hands and feet and lied about the engine and others. The line is also faulty. Because she was ignorant of the knowledge of car repair, she was forced to switch several parts and the result was slaughtered.

 

[Anti-flicking tricks] try to insure; either to accumulate car repair knowledge, or just choose a regular 4S shop

 

It is most important to choose a car repair factory with integrity. Don't trust the roadside shop. If you don't pay attention to accumulating car repair knowledge, then try to get full commercial insurance. If you have an accident or a malfunction, go to the regular 4S shop. Although the price is slightly higher, quality integrity is guaranteed, because safety is the most important.
