The four major issues in the auto parts industry urgently need to be solved.


The new “Regulations on the Maintenance of Motor Vehicles” (hereinafter referred to as “Regulations”) has been in operation for more than two months. However, at a joint meeting held recently in the Shanghai Information Center, industry experts believed that before the relevant implementation rules were issued, the “Regulations” Some unreasonable behavior in the industry is still difficult to control, and can not solve the four major problems from the source due to monopolistic factory repair parts and accessories caused by high prices.

Problem I: 4S shop accessories monopoly is difficult to solve

In the past, domestic manufacturers had to publish maintenance technology and vehicle inspection parameters after launching new models so that all auto repair companies could repair the model.

However, since China had a car joint-venture manufacturing company, the joint venture did not publicize the maintenance technology and testing parameters of the new model. Its purpose is to enable its special maintenance station to monopolize its operations.

In fact, at present, whether it is the price of auto parts or the source of accessories, it is up to the manufacturers to say that they have become the biggest source of profit for auto manufacturers in addition to the entire vehicle. Monopoly inevitably leads to high profits. It has been reported that if parts of a 4S shop are assembled to assemble a car, the price is equivalent to twice the price of a whole vehicle. This also leads to “available car and can’t afford a car. "The voice of the voice is getting higher and higher.

In an interview with the “Daily Economic News”, Qi Ruilin, chief policy analyst of Shanghai Xiangtong Automotive Consulting Co., Ltd., said: “The Regulations have attached importance to and tackled this issue, as specified in Article 26, motor vehicle manufacturers. Within one month after the new model is put on the market, it is obliged to announce to the public its maintenance technical data and working hours quota."

Such regulations can ensure fair competition among various types of vehicle maintenance companies, but he is also worried about the lack of implementation rules. "The "Regulations" have no clear requirements on which forms to publish and which projects to publish. At the same time, there are also lack of restrictions and penalties for motor vehicle manufacturers not promulgating regulations in accordance with regulations. This may cause individual motor vehicle manufacturers to fail to comply with these regulations. " Rui Lin said.
Qi Ruilin also stated that “in foreign countries, motor vehicle manufacturers have two sets of technical information on maintenance of new models. One set is announced at their special maintenance outlets and one set is announced to the public. Those who do not announce to the public must explain the reasons. The project manufacturers that allow users to repair to other maintenance companies must be fully published. At the same time, there are restrictions on these regulations."

Problem 2: It is difficult to eliminate counterfeit and inferior accessories

In addition, Qi Ruilin is also worried that due to the lack of corresponding testing agencies in China, it is difficult to define sub-factory accessories and counterfeit and inferior parts. This has led to some fake and inferior parts flooding the market in the name of deputy parts.

In the maintenance industry, deputy factory parts refer to parts that are different from the original ones. Although they have not passed the channel of the assembly plant, they are imported from the manufacturers of complete vehicle manufacturers in the form of direct sales. These parts are not on the factory floor. The articles are so strict, but under normal circumstances the quality is guaranteed, and the price is much cheaper than the factory parts; and fake and inferior parts are the “three nothing” products that deceive consumers, and are the targets of the regulatory authorities.

The "Regulations" stipulates relevant provisions for preventing the flow of counterfeit and inferior parts into the auto repair industry. However, Rui Lin believes that the regulations themselves have loopholes.

He said: "In foreign countries, spare parts for auto repair must be tested by state-designated testing organizations. Qualified products can enter the market. Such auto parts and accessories are called vice-plant parts, and those that have not been properly tested are Call it 'counterfeit and shoddy accessories' and it is not allowed to enter the market. In China, because there is no such test procedure, it is difficult to clearly define sub-factory accessories, so it is also difficult for accessory parts and counterfeit parts. Identifying." From this he was worried that counterfeit and inferior parts may continue to flood the market with consumers.

Difficulties 3: The man-hour maintenance operator has the final say

Not only that, but before the implementation details have been introduced, consumers' rights and interests in repairing vehicles are difficult to guarantee, such as the problem of repairing work-hour fees. It has long been the maintenance operators who have the final say, and consumers do not have the right to speak.

In fact, the "Regulations" have taken into account the protection of consumer rights and express the cost of working hours.

Article 26 of the "Regulations" stipulates that motor vehicle maintenance and repair operators shall publish the fixed time quota and charging standards for motor vehicle maintenance, and reasonably charge fees. At the same time, the regulations governing the fixed hours of motor vehicle maintenance can be implemented according to the standards uniformly formulated by the provincial motor vehicle maintenance associations and other industries and intermediary organizations, and can also be implemented after the registration of the motor vehicle repair operators to the local road transport management agencies for record. According to the standards published by motor vehicle manufacturers.

“This is equivalent to releasing the maintenance man-hours fee, as long as the road transportation management agency in its place can record, to a certain extent, that consumers have choices when repairing the car, you can 'compared to the three'.” Rui Lin said , "But when the above criteria are inconsistent, this clause also stipulates that 'the priority should be applied to the record standards of motor vehicle maintenance operators'. This shows that when the actual working hour fee is not necessarily equal to the fixed working hours, the maintenance station operator has said that ."

Problem 4: No application for used car maintenance chain

Regarding the construction of maintenance outlets in the "Regulations", Rui Lin said that due to different regulations, the maintenance network of used cars is currently unknown where to apply.

According to Qi Ruilin, according to foreign experience, the general chain of used car operators, each outlet has an auto repair shop, this repair shop in addition to the sale of used cars for maintenance, but also to undertake all vehicle maintenance business, In China, with the continuous development of used car business, used car maintenance network will also flourish.

For the establishment of a new car maintenance network, Article 17 of the "Regulations" stipulates that if you apply for a service chain for motor vehicle maintenance and chain operations, the motor vehicle maintenance chain enterprise headquarters may apply to the county-level road transport management agency where the chain service network is located.

Does this mean that the maintenance network of second-hand car chains can also apply to the local county-level road transport management agency accordingly?

Rui Lin said: "From the current situation, China's second-hand car business is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, and vehicle maintenance is managed by the Ministry of Communications, so that the establishment of used car repair network may need to apply to both departments." Based on this, he suggested that when formulating the corresponding implementation rules, the two ministries should negotiate in advance to clarify and simplify the operation process.
