【Text/Dao Ge said that the car dice】 drop bag accessories, minor illness overhaul, false reporting of the amount of oil... In the unveiling of various types of car maintenance unspoken rules, up to the luxury sports car Aston Martin, down to the national god car Wuling Hongguang, from the regular manufacturer after-sales 4S shop to an unknown pheasant auto repair plant on the side of the road, the value of the vehicle is geometric, as long as your car enters the door of the auto repair shop, it seems that it cannot fall into the custom of being abducted by the pit. But is this really the case? After visiting Master Hai, a senior auto mechanic in the industry, the editor of "Dao Ge Said Car" learned about many "unspoken rules" in automobile maintenance, and led everyone to uncover them one by one.
Auto repair plants prefer accident cars, take the opportunity to drop the package of original factory accessories to sell money?
Previously, there were media reports that some car owners sent the accident car to the 4S shop for repair, but it was more and more injured. Some car owners' friends broke the news: some repairmen often take away some of the newer parts of the car before the accident car is damaged, and replace them with old parts or even defective parts. Is this real?
"Now that's no longer the case. At most, it is to tell you that it is the original part when changing the accessories, but the actual replacement is other accessories. "Master Hai, an auto repairman in the industry, said that at present, the auto repair industry has basically no longer seen the situation of dropping the original parts of the package, except for one kind of accessory." Now only the three-way catalytic converter on the car is more valuable. Some irregular manufacturers may dismantle the ternary catalyst for their own benefit, but this situation is rare. ”
Master Hai said that in his own auto repair plant, for example, he needs to inform the owner every time he changes the accessories, and then replace them after seeking the owner's consent. Before the new accessories are replaced, he will also hand them over to the owner for inspection, and the replacement of the waste parts will also be delivered to the owner for their own disposal. "If the owner doesn't need it, we'll throw away the old parts."
In general, although the problem of repairing the car and dropping the bag accessories is basically no longer there, due to the price reason, the owner can focus on checking the three-way catalytic converter of the car before and after the repair to prevent the situation of stealing.
Minor illness overhaul, no illness overhaul? The auto repair master replied with a flickering word
In response to the problems raised by the editor of "Dao Ge Says Car" about the major repair of the car minor illness, the overhaul of no disease, and the parts are only replaced and not repaired, Master Hai's denial seems to be a bit far-fetched. "Well, there will definitely be some black households in the industry, but this kind of thing still try not to touch." The bottom line of some industries cannot be touched. ”
Under the questioning of the editor, Master Hai also vaguely stated that some manufacturers have suggested to the owner to replace the car parts and other problems. "Some chain industries, they may not just survive with maintenance. Taking car tires as an example, in the process of car owners coming to replace tires, in addition to changing tires, there will be some other additional output value behind them. These additional outputs are also the proceeds of their labor, but there are some things... Still can't touch it. ”
Master Hai said that some of the "additional output value" of the auto repair plant may indeed be for the safety of the owner, but the real purpose behind it is very vague, and only the repair master of the auto repair plant can say it clearly.
At the same time, Master Hai also said that due to the prosperity of the Internet, the prices of accessories are now very transparent, and many consumers will understand the situation on the Internet before replacing accessories. "The original price of a hundred accessories, we count the freight or something, generally can add one or twenty pieces." Now all I earn is a working hour, a hard work. “
Lying about the oil capacity and secretly hiding gasoline? Master Hai said: It is not worth it
In some car maintenance pit avoidance posts, some bloggers revealed that some auto repair plants tend to have more oil. "Whether it's a 4S shop or a repair shop, it's a common situation when you add more oil. Some models of maintenance, adding 4 liters of oil is just right, but some merchants will say that 4 liters of oil is not enough, you need to open a bottle of 1 liter to make up a little, the purpose of them is to make more money, and it is also very unfavorable to your car, easy to lead to carbon deposits and engine oil leakage. ”
Master Hai did not think much of this, "At present, the amount of oil that is falsely reported, and the situation that the three liters of oil should be falsely reported to four liters is basically non-existent." Now selling motor oil is sold by barrel, each time selling a barrel, if there is a surplus, the owner loves to take it away, do not take it we will deal with it. “
Master Hai believes that the current auto repair industry has been very transparent and open, and the auto repair plant is no longer too shady. "Regulators check outside every day. Our competent authority is the transportation department, which often comes down to check whether there is a situation of over-range operation, or check whether there are consumer complaints. At the same time, they will also check the safety production and check whether the manufacturer has safety hazards. Now the transportation and environmental protection departments are also working together to enforce the law to inquire about illegal products. ”
