Recently, according to 1818 Golden Eye, a car owner in Hangzhou brought his own spark plug purchased online to the repair shop for installation, and paid 50 yuan for working hours. A month later, the car "pulled the cylinder", which was induced by the suspected excessive installation torque of the spark plug, and the final maintenance fee reached 11,000 yuan.
The owner asked the repair shop to share the maintenance cost of 6,000 yuan, but the repair shop thought that there was a problem with the quality of the spark plug and did not recognize the quality inspection report issued by the manufacturer. At present, the dispute has not yet achieved substantive results, and the two sides have caused heated discussions in the industry.
Earn 50 and lose 6000, do you dare to install your own tires?
Is it an installation problem or a quality problem? Aside from this dispute, most repair shops believe that it is not advisable to install the accessories brought by the car owner. In the tire industry, whether to install your own tires or not is also a hot topic.
At present, the profit of the tire shop is meager, selling a tire to make a net profit of dozens of dollars, and the tire repair is only twenty or thirty yuan, in line with the principle of "mosquito legs are also meat", many tires are also accepted and installed on the tires brought by the owner.
However, in terms of fees, there is no unified standard in the industry, which leads to the phenomenon of even reducing the price of installation fees.
The tires brought by the car owners are generally purchased from the e-commerce platform, and the bosses themselves reject e-commerce tires, and it is too expensive to install them in the store, so it is natural to have resistance.
In addition, although many stores that allow you to bring your own tires are not responsible for the after-sales problems indicated by the car owner in advance, when the problem really goes wrong, the customer will still come to the door to ask for compensation. After the incident became a big one, he was also labeled as a "black-hearted businessman" by the car owner, which had a great impact on the reputation and operation of the store.
Some bosses said that it is okay to bring their own accessories, give the tools to the owners and let them install them themselves, and the store only charges for the use of tools!
Not to mention, there is really a boss who does this, and of course the price is very heavy.
In Ye County, Henan Province in August 2023, Liu brought his own tricycle tires to an agricultural machinery repair station to inflate the tires.
In the process of inflating, Liu's improper operation led to excessive air pressure, the tire steel pot was broken, Liu's face was injured, and a tooth was washed out, and he was hospitalized for many days for treatment, which cost a lot. So Liu Mouyu's family came to the door to ask the shopkeeper Zhou to compensate.
After mediation by the Security Judicial Office, this case is a dispute over no-fault liability for operation, and the party Liu Mouyu suffered personal injuries and should bear the main responsibility.
According to Article 1166 of the Civil Code, "if the actor causes damage to the civil rights and interests of others, regardless of whether the actor is at fault, the law shall bear tort liability", and Zhou finally compensated Liu Mouyu with a one-time compensation of 3,000 yuan.
Refuse to install your own tires, a lesson in blood and tears!
Consumers buy many channels, tires are difficult to distinguish between real and fake, if you choose the right channel to buy genuine tires, then there is no risk in installation; but there are some cheap car owners, buy the so-called dismantling tires, second-hand tires, and even counterfeit tires, retreaded tires, the installation of such tires caused by the tragedy is not a few.
In 2018, an employee of a tire shop in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, was providing tire installation and repair services to car owners when the tire suddenly exploded, and the tire worker was seriously injured and died after being rescued. The tires that exploded were later verified to be three no-products from informal channels.
In the same year, a tire shop in Nanning, Guangxi, accidentally exploded in the process of inflating tires, which eventually caused a person in the tire shop to die on the spot, and the owner was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital in a coma.
After the incident, the owner said that the tire that exploded was brought by the owner after buying it online, and the store was only responsible for the installation, and the reason why the explosion occurred was probably due to the poor quality of the tire itself.
In this regard, it has been suggested that auto repair shops should check the accessories well before using them. But in fact, now the counterfeiting technology is becoming more and more developed, not only inexperienced car owners can not see the problem, even experienced tire people are difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, requiring the store to ensure the quality and safety of the accessories before use is obviously unrealistic.
Ruts believe that for tires from unknown sources, stores must not install them! Tires, which are related to life and safety, must be cautious, cautious, and cautious when installing!
