Anyone who drives a car will inevitably have to deal with the car repair shop. Usually, they have to be repaired and repaired. When there is an accident, they have bumps and bumps, and they have to go to the car repair shop for repair. However, some car owners gave the car to the garage to repair it, but found that their car became a bit too bad. On the other hand, the business of second-hand auto parts in Auto Parts City is booming. What is the connection between these two things? Check the reporter"s investigation.
Located in a large international auto parts city in Beijing, it has a wide range of auto parts. However, the reporter noted that many shops here are distributing all kinds of old auto parts.
The reporter walked into a merchant and followed the merchant to the second floor of the store. The warehouse was full of dumplings, and the merchants told reporters clearly that most of the piled up here were old lights, all of which were dismantled.
The insider said: "It is a lot of waste companies and repair shops picking accident cars. The old pieces that have been knocked out are pulled over and sold to you. After you finish, you can fix them."
So, who will buy these old car headlights? In addition, the reporter noticed that although they are old lamps, they are also very different. Some of them are relatively complete in appearance, while some of them have obvious damage. Who can sell such a broken lamp merchant to sell?
The merchant told reporters that this is all used for insurance: "You want to take insurance, you want to lie to the insurance company. If you use it, go back and polish it, and the insurance company can"t give you money?" This is what it means. After the insurance is over, this light is useless. You can make your original car"s lamp equal to the original car light. It is cheap to take this. The (old) lamp is not cheap, but The money back from insurance is the same."
The merchant said that it is all car repair shops that come here to buy second-hand lamps. According to their jargon, there are insurances for use and loading. The lights used for insurance are severely damaged and the price is the cheapest. The lamp used for loading is relatively complete in appearance, old and old, and can be brightened when mounted on the car. And this sounds incredible, the owner Xiao Hu has recently encountered.
Xiao Hu said that because of his own reasons, the car slammed a bit, the front bumper, a little bit. Xiao Hu sent the Buick business car to a repair shop and wanted to paint the front of the car and the scratched body. A few days later he went to pick up the car. Although the body scratches were repaired, he found a new problem: not only the right door was out of order, but the right headlight was also replaced with an old one.
Xiao Hu said that the auto repair factory told him that this time he did not need to spend money on painting his car. The repair shop had already helped him out of the insurance, and the expenses were paid out by the insurance company. Although I didn’t let Xiao Hu spend money, the good end of the lamp was replaced with the old one, and the door was broken. It was difficult to understand. So he came to the insurance company and called out the vehicle’s fixed loss order. And photos. Seeing the photo, Xiao Hu was shocked at once.
According to the fixed-loss photos provided by the insurance company, Xiaohu’s Buick commercial vehicle collided with a BMW sedan. The right side of the Buick’s car was severely deformed, and the right-hand headlight was damaged. The right side of the BMW car was also seriously affected. damage. Xiao Hu realized that his car door was not tight and the headlights were changed. It was because of this accident. But how did this accident happen?
Xiaohu heard that the owner of the BMW car was the owner of the repair shop.
Through the insurance company"s record of the loss, Xiaohu learned that his car was placed in the garage, and it was indeed the case. However, what are the benefits of doing this kind of loss?
The insider said: "This repair shop takes its own BMW car, removes the good pieces, and carries the old pieces and the car of Xiaohu. It is an accident. When the damage is fixed, the insurance company completely follows BMW"s original factory. The price is fixed."
According to the fixed loss book provided by the insurance company, the accident, including Xiaohu’s Buick lamp, door, BMW car lights and other accessories, the insurance company has made a loss according to the original price, and finally, Xiaohu The car was damaged by 5,851 yuan, and the BMW car was damaged by 13,375 yuan. The two car insurance companies paid nearly 20,000 yuan in total, and they took the insurance of Xiaohu.
Although the insurance company has already compensated according to the original price, in fact, Xiaohu"s headlights have been replaced with an older one. As for the BMW car of the repair shop owner, Xiao Hu thought that he had done his hands and feet in advance and replaced the worn-out accessories for insurance. It doesn"t cost much for the repair shop to buy these old accessories.
The insider told reporters that the insurance company paid more than 19,000 yuan to the owner of the repair factory BMW, and the cost of buying old parts is more than 1,000 yuan, the cost of the old two cars should not exceed 3,500 yuan.
Here, the old pieces used for insurance, the price is one tenth of the new one, the old parts for loading, the price is one-third of the new one, and the difference between them is the profit earned by the repair shop.
In this auto parts market, the reporter saw that the buyers who came to buy old parts basically came from the repair shop. The repair shop got the original factory pricing claims from the insurance company, and then went here to buy the old parts. The purpose is obvious, or the fake accidents are made. Loss, or use the car to fill the car. Because of the low price, here, the sales of old parts are much better than the new ones.
A merchant told reporters that his family"s warehouse was gone, the old house warehouse was 13 acres, Gu"an was more than 5 acres, and the light workers were more than 20 people. There were more than 10 million yuan of light in the lights every year.
Taking the customer"s car privately to create an accident, thereby defrauding insurance compensation and earning a maintenance price difference, these sounds incredible things, not uncommon in some auto repair companies. The reporter saw that not only the used car lights are very popular here, but also the parts of the exterior parts are also very good.
An auto repair shop insider said that the parts of the exterior part may be shodded, such as the front bumper, the front center net, the headlights, the front cover, the front left front and the right two fenders, the rear left rear right two Fenders, four doors, rear cover, rear bumper, rear taillights, as long as it is the appearance, something that can be seen outside the car is possible.
The insider told the reporter: "I will give you an example. I will buy this one from him, give him 10,000, the insurance company will pay 40,000, who will earn the difference? The repair shop earned it. (Car owner) must know not Dry, a lot of customers don"t know, you are like spray paint, spray paint inside and outside, you can"t scrape with a small scraper, you can"t scrape it, you can"t see it."
The reporter noticed that in this auto parts city, there are more old pieces sold than new ones. Where are so many old auto parts coming from? The insider said that it was from the 4S shop. After collecting the waste products, they sold them to them. They might sell them 1,000 yuan. They sold 1,500 to 2,000 yuan. The industrial chain is formed like this.
The reporter saw that in this market, second-hand auto parts transactions, merchants do not evade, are all publicly sold, then is such a sale legally compliant?
According to the relevant provisions of China"s "Recycling Vehicle Recycling Management Measures": (Article 15) It is forbidden to scrap the entire vehicle, the "five major assemblies" and the assembled vehicles to enter the market or trade in any other way.
The “five major assemblies” refer to automobile engines, steering gears, transmissions, front and rear axles, and frame. Other parts that can be dismantled can continue to be used and can be sold, but must be marked as “retired car recycling parts”.
It can be seen that it is obviously illegal to buy and sell scrapped vehicles with the “five major assemblies”. But how do you evaluate other parts such as car headlights? Can the sales standard be met? No specific regulations were given, which left room for second-hand trading of old auto parts. The owners are also generally worried about this.
Cars are not ordinary goods. The quality of car repairs is directly related to road driving safety and is a major event linked to life safety. These unscrupulous auto repair companies, one lie to the insurance company, the second lie to the owner of the repair. Falsification, deception of insurance companies, fraudulent insurance compensation, has violated the law. Shoddy, old and new, deceiving consumers, not only ruined integrity, undermined the industry atmosphere, but also buried security risks. In this set of tricks, when the repair company buys worn-out accessories for insurance, has the insurance company conducted a serious review? There are a large number of obviously damaged auto parts transactions in the market. Does the marketing management department fulfill its management duties? These issues are also worthy of investigation by relevant companies and departments.
