In China's "Regulations on the Administration of Motor Vehicle Maintenance", it is stipulated that "motor vehicle maintenance operators shall not use fake and inferior parts to maintain motor vehicles." But at the same time, it allows the use of sub-factory parts, but it must be marked and clearly marked, and the parts must be registered.
However, the problem existing in the market at present is that there are a large number of counterfeit goods in the sub-factory parts, the proportion of which can reach more than 8%, which undoubtedly brings great security risks to consumers.
A worker in a 4S shop said, "Taking a car apart and selling parts alone can sell the price of two cars". From here, we can see how much profit the auto parts market is, and it is precisely because of this high profit that many people do not hesitate to take risks.
generally speaking, all spare parts provided by 4S shops should be genuine. However, due to various reasons, at present, many 4S stores have also stolen the column. For most consumers, only when there is a problem will they find out that they have long been deceived.
since both the original and the sub-factory parts meet the requirements, what's the difference between them?
original parts refer to the parts that are authorized by the automobile manufacturer to be produced by the manufacturer. These parts can be marked with the logo of the whole vehicle and supplied in the service channel of the whole vehicle factory.
A sub-factory part refers to an accessory produced by an enterprise without the authorization of the manufacturer. It is not only different from the original parts in trademark, logo and packaging, but also has great advantages in price. However, it needs to be pointed out in particular that the manufacturer of the auxiliary parts must also be a regular manufacturer, have its own brand, have certain quality assurance, and be responsible for the quality of its own products. It is for this reason that the state allows the use of secondary factory parts.
From the following case, perhaps you can better understand their differences:
Not long ago, Xiao Han went to the auto parts city to change the fender, and suddenly heard a "bang" during the replacement process. The maintenance worker and Xiao Han saw that a car with the same model as Xiao Han had just finished installing the bumper, and when reversing, it hit the rear bumper of Xiao Han's car. Han provided a look in the past and found that the bumper had sunk in, and the new bumper of that car had cracked. However, when the two cars separated, the bumper of Xiao Han's car suddenly bounced back and nothing happened. Xiao Han smiled, looked at the owner and said, "From the vice factory, right?" The owner said helplessly, "Yes, it is not as good as the original factory." Then he asked the repairman to replace him with an original bumper.
In this case, an expert explained that the bumper of this sub-factory is very likely to be fake. Although the quality of the sub-factory parts is different from that of the original parts, it is not so "fragile".
therefore, experts remind that for most consumers, they should try to go to the 4S shop for maintenance and repair. Because the accessories there are relatively reliable, and if you are not at ease, you can also ask them to provide proof, or write this on the back of the invoice or in the contract, so that problems can be solved easily.
