"The price of a car wash is 100 yuan, the price of an SUV commercial vehicle is 120 yuan a time, and the price of repairing a piece of paint is 900 yuan." In the past few days, the Yangcheng Evening News reporter visited and learned that after the Spring Festival, the car washing, car repair and other businesses of many car maintenance and beauty shops have risen sharply, and the charging prices of their related businesses have also risen a lot more than usual.
The maintenance business has risen sharply
After the Spring Festival holiday, many car owners who returned from long-distance self-driving went to the store to check, maintain and repair in order to ensure that the vehicle did not have an unexpected failure after work.
The reporter recently visited the major automobile 4S stores and maintenance and beauty service stores in Guangzhou and found that many maintenance workshops have vehicles to be repaired on the workstations, and the maintenance workers are busy.
According to Miss Han of the after-sales service department of the 4S store of a Us-series automobile brand, after the Spring Festival holiday, the number of vehicles that come here for repair and maintenance has increased by 30% or 40% compared with usual.
Yesterday, in a car repair shop in Luoxi New Town, a car owner who came to wash the car just parked the car, and was dissuaded by the staff, "The car wash is estimated to need to wait for three or four hours, if your time is more urgent, you can come back in two days." A staff member of the store said that the volume of business in the store after the festival increased sharply compared with before the Spring Festival, and more than 30 cars came in the morning of the car wash alone.

The price of the fee has also increased significantly
While the business volume is rising, in addition to the maintenance prices of some car 4S shops remain unchanged, the charges of many car repair and beauty shops have increased.
An auto repair shop in Wuyang New Town posted a notice in a conspicuous position that read, "Non-member car wash: 100 yuan / car, 120 yuan / SUV commercial vehicle". A person in charge of the store told reporters that the above prices began to rise from January 19 and will continue until February 15. In normal times, non-members here are 80 yuan / time car, 90 yuan / time SUV commercial vehicle.
In a car wash shop in Panyu Dashi, the current price of washing cars is 50 yuan per time. Mr. Li, the owner of the store, said that three years ago, during the Spring Festival, the car wash was only 30 yuan each time, last year it was 40 yuan, and this year it rose to 50 yuan. "The main reason is that the labor is too high, and the wages of workers during this period are twice the usual." Mr. Li said: "From January 26 to February 6, we simply closed our business and rested, because no one was willing to stay and work after paying three times the salary during this time. ”
For customers who hold car wash cards, many stores have adopted a "discount" approach. The reporter learned that the cost of the general store "discount" is between 10 yuan and 30 yuan, which means that the owner of the car who can wash the car for 50 yuan usually needs 60 yuan to 80 yuan during the Spring Festival.
At the same time, the maintenance cost has also risen sharply, and some car owners can't help but complain: "Now it takes more than 800 yuan to change a rearview mirror, and it takes 900 yuan to repair a car paint, and usually half of it can be saved." ”
Why can the car 4S store maintain the original price? "Now many brand car 4S stores have a very large amount of after-sales, and the best way to attract customers is to do a good job in service and enhance the brand image, which is an important reason why the 4S stores of various cars do not increase prices during the Spring Festival." The person in charge of a German car dealer said that the after-sales charges of the 4S store during the Spring Festival also maintained the usual standard.
In addition to the above factors, Zhang Bin, who has long been concerned about the auto maintenance industry, believes that the after-sales charges of each car 4S shop are currently higher than those of car maintenance and beauty shops, and some projects are even one to two times higher, so even if the car 4S shops do not increase prices during the Spring Festival, they can still maintain very considerable profits.
So, when will the cleaning price of the car repair and beauty service store return to normal? Relevant merchants have said: after the Lantern Festival, that is, from February 16, the original price will be restored!
In this regard, many car maintenance personnel suggest that the car wash can be postponed for a few days, some simple testing items owners can test themselves, such as the detection of oil projects, now many vehicles are equipped with organic oil level monitoring system, owners can intuitively see the amount of oil stock, so that not only can avoid the peak time of post-holiday maintenance, save the trouble of queuing up and waiting for the car, but also save a lot of costs.
For problems such as tire deviation, body noise, abnormal steering wheel shaking, and abnormal brake braking that occur during driving, the owner can communicate with the relevant maintenance personnel in detail before handling the system.
