Automotive Glass Agents
Reporter posing as "repair operator" exploration camp found "agent" sales fake brand
According to relevant stakeholders, Shenzhen Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd., as an agent of Shanghai Fuyao Automotive Glass in Shenzhen, sells Fuyao automobile glass and sells counterfeit glass of famous international brands. Recently, the reporter conducted an unannounced visit to the company with the rights and interests of Shenzhen Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd.
Reporter disguised as "repair operator"
As a car repairer, reporters and rights holders came to the first floor of Building 514, Bagua Ling Industrial Zone, Futian District, Shenzhen, where Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd. is located. In the office of the company, the reporter said to a woman responsible person of the company that he would buy a batch of Fuyao auto glass. The person in charge vigilantly conducted a “cross-examination†of the reporter and the line. Under the intimacy of the rights holders, the identity of the “repair operator†of the reporter and his party was confirmed.
The female manager asked a staff member to lead the reporter and his party to the warehouse. The reporter saw that the so-called warehouse was located in a room of nearly 200 square meters next to the office of the company, which was very dark. In addition to a workbench in the room, all are used to display the wooden frame of the car glass, and the wooden frame is filled with car glass.
According to the prior guidance of the equity person, when the rights holders and the company's staff talked about the business, the reporter slowly picked up the corner of the warehouse. A glimpse of the dim light led to a glimpse of a row of car glass placed on it with a label bearing the words "TOYOTA" and "MIT?SUBISHI" (MITSUBISHI). After coming out from the inside, the reporter asked the female person in charge. Shenzhen Fuyao Automobile Glass Co., Ltd., in addition to the agent of Shanghai Fuyao Auto Glass, also represented Toyota and Mitsubishi Motors Glass. The female official is vague about this and only says that these car glasses are imported from Guangzhou. The reporter said that these brands of automotive glass also want a bit, and at the same time require that when entering these automotive glass, you must look at the goods receipt. The female person in charge had no patience at this time and said that the purchase order could not be found.
There are hundreds of fake cars in the warehouse
Once again, the reporter came to the company's Xinwang Logistics Warehouse, which is located at Qingshuihe Sanlu North No.1. At the entrance, several staff members dressed in blue overalls communicated to the company via telephone. After repeated inspections of the relevant documents of the reporters, they brought us into the warehouse. The warehouse has an area of ​​about 600 square meters. In the middle, it is divided into two parts by iron sheet: Dozens of brand TVs and dozens of boxes of instant noodles are placed on the outer half of the floor, while the inside is the automotive glass storage warehouse.
The reporter found that in addition to some Fuyao automotive glass, there are hundreds of internationally-branded auto glass signs on Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc. on a glass of BMW auto glass. MADEINGERMANY" and "O?riginalBMW" and other words. In the end, the reporter and his party expressed their willingness to get out after the sincerity of ordering.
On the way back, equity holders told reporters that the so-called Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other famous brands of automotive glass in the warehouse are actually counterfeit goods, and their price is different from the original automobile glass by more than one hundred thousand miles. Taking the front windscreen of Lexus Automotive as an example, the original market price is around 3,000 yuan, and the price of this fake automobile glass is between 300 and 400 yuan. Such counterfeit auto glass is difficult for consumers to distinguish. When the car is in a normal driving state, this kind of counterfeit car glass is no different. But when the car is on the highway, the difference will be more obvious. Especially when the car is driving about 120 kilometers, this counterfeit goods will be slightly shaken.

Auto parts market
Ninety percent of off-site products are in serious threat to the safety of the original vehicle
Recently, consumers have continued to complain that the auto parts market is shoddy and false. In order to understand the situation of the Shenzhen auto parts market, the reporter went to the auto parts market of the Baguau Road for an unannounced visit and found that the current auto parts market is “fairâ€.
The original factory accessories sell out
Before the unannounced visit, the reporter specifically asked a senior industry personage. He told reporters that the auto parts are divided into the factory parts and vice factory parts. The original factory parts are the original parts, which are produced by the automobile manufacturers. The quality of the products is guaranteed and the price is higher. The auxiliary factory parts are specialized auto parts manufacturers and some auto parts underground factories. The quality of the parts is also uneven due to different materials. Qi, the price is lower than the factory parts. Nowadays, both of the auto parts market are sold, and unscrupulous merchants are sold to consumers in the form of vice factory accessories for the packaging box of the factory. In order to prevent government departments from cracking down, businesses often make small changes on the packing box of the factory, indicating that the fitting is "appropriate for a certain model (such as Mitsubishi)." For these, consumers are only covered.
Came to the auto parts market on Bagua Road, in an auto parts store called “Hengzhao,†the reporter claimed that his own car, the Toyota Camry 2.0, is preparing to replace the front brake pads. Auto shop owner told reporters that Toyota Camry 2.0 front brake brakes price is 350 yuan. The reporter pretended to be an expert. Q: "What about the deputy factory?" The boss said: "The deputy factory is much cheaper, as long as it is sixty to seventy yuan."
The reporter then unannounced visits to Hengchang Le, Henghe, Penglong and other auto parts stores. These shop owners seem to be much more refreshing than the Hengbo owners. Seeing a reporter to buy a brake pad, they all asked the reporter directly whether it was a factory or an auxiliary factory. Of course, the vice factory was much cheaper.
Unannounced visits, the reporter found that most of the auto parts stores here are not clearly priced, in a shop dedicated to Jetta and Santana accessories, the reporter said that the home of the Jetta car steering wheel failure, to change direction. The boss said that the deputy factory price is 300 yuan and the factory is more than 400 yuan. Another owner of the auto parts store said that the direction of changing a factory is more than 1,000 yuan, and the warranty is one year. However, as long as two or three hundred of the vice-presidents are enough, there is no warranty. The consequences will be borne by the owner. The reporter said that the problem with the car is that it is human life. Of course, it is necessary to change the factory. The boss said that if you only open a receipt and do not invoice, you can get a cheap one or two hundred dollars.
After unannounced visits to several auto parts stores, the reporter found that the same kind of accessories, because of the difference between the factory and the sub-factory, has a wide range of price differences, and some actually have a difference of ten times. For example, in the brake system, the brake hose of the Mitsubishi car is also the factory price ranging from 150 to 180 yuan each, but the sub-factory price is only 10 to 50 yuan each; it is also the brake master cylinder of the Toyota pickup truck. About 1800 yuan, the vice factory price is less than 200 yuan; the same is the Toyota Haishi fuel filter, the factory price is about 35 yuan, the vice factory price is between 10 to 13 yuan, the lowest as long as 7 yuan a.
Mr. Leung of the Shenzhen Automobile Parts Supply Association said that the auto parts on the market are divided into regular parts produced by the original factory and alternative parts produced by the vice factory. The vice factory steam fittings also have advantages and disadvantages. The bad ones are not only easy to damage, but also bring harm to the car itself. Individual unscrupulous traders will also shoddy their products, put the accessories of the vice-factory on the original factory's packaging and logos, and deceive consumers by posing as original accessories. After all, more than 90% of the auto parts of the vice factory will be inferior to the original ones.
Vice plant steam fittings have many hidden dangers
A senior "industry source" told reporters that the long-term use of deputy factory auto parts, especially brake systems, tires and other safety components, will cause serious safety problems. For example, he said, for example, the brake system of a car consists of brake pads, brake discs, and brake pumps. In general, the life of a brake disc is as long as the life of the car, but if a non-durable auxiliary brake pad is installed, the service life of the brake disc is likely to be only as long as the brake life of the auxiliary factory. After the brakes of the auxiliary factory were removed, the brake discs could easily be worn off by the roots, and the vehicles were buried with serious safety hazards.
Car repair shop
Regular factory roadside shops have shoddy
According to the relevant survey data, at present, more than 98% of the owners will not go to the auto parts market to purchase auto parts, but to replace parts through the repair shop. Thus, while “targeting†the auto parts market, the reporter also made unannounced visits to some auto repair factories in the city. As a result, it has been found that there is a phenomenon of inferior packaging, whether it is a regular auto repair factory or a roadside maintenance shop.
Regular repair factory also changed false accessories
Mr. Liu’s Jetta car was unfortunately rear-ended by a foreign truck at the Lotus North intersection. The trunk, taillights, boot lock and rear bumper of the vehicle were crashed. The reporter pretended to be a friend of Mr. Liu and went to a car repair shop in Futian together with Mr. Liu to repair the car. The reporter and Mr. Liu handed the Jetta car to the auto repair factory. The person in charge of the auto repair factory patted his chest and said that the foreign trucks that had participated in the insurance had full responsibility. They promised to claim from the insurance company and all Mr. Liu’s vehicles were damaged. Update, one week after the repaired car can be left. Looking at the sincerity of this person in charge, Mr. Liu left the reporter with confidence.
Three days later, Mr. Liu and the reporter quietly came to the repair shop to check the progress of the vehicle maintenance at the repair shop and wanted to confirm whether the damaged parts had been replaced with genuine parts. Unexpectedly, the maintenance staff is putting the repaired trunk into the car, and the tailbox lock and taillight do not look like genuine accessories. The reporter asked if the crashed boot would be dangerous after being repaired. Maintenance personnel said that, of course, if the rear-end collisions are resumed, the restored rear trunk weakens greatly and it will endanger the safety of the rear seat passengers. The reporter asked, since this is the case, why did you put up the repaired trunk to others? Maintenance personnel said that the person in charge asked them to do this, and after the paint had been sprayed, the owner of the car couldn't see it. Mr. Liu, who was deceived, negotiated with the repair shop angrily. The person in charge of the repair shop explained that the insurance company lost enough money. If they all replaced new parts, they would lose money. Mr. Liu insisted on doing things according to the promise, the maintenance factory only changed the trunk. But the locks and lights are still produced by the deputy factory. Afterwards, Mr. Liu went to the auto parts sales store to check and found that the price difference between the factory and the sub-factory of the lock and the lamp was more than 3 times.
Roadside auto repair shops become "road killers"
The reporter discovered during an unannounced visit that some roadside auto repair shops almost all purchased and used auto parts with low quality and low prices, and attracted customers with low maintenance prices. In the Shenzhen area, especially in Baoan and Longgang, some of the remote roadside auto repair shops outside the special zone, the problem of shoddy, fake and authentic is more prominent.
Mr. Chen, who lives in Longgang, drove his own Camry's car to drive by car. When traveling to Shunde, he found that there was a problem with the front brake pad. He then repaired the car at the roadside repair shop and was replaced by a roadside auto repair shop in Shunde City. Factory production of counterfeit brake pads. The next day he drove to Guangxi at a speed of 70 km/h. After the car was driven for 800 kilometers, he found pupils crossing the road. He found that the brakes suddenly failed during emergency braking. There was a slight brake on only one wheel of the four wheels, and the vehicle dragged more than 60 meters. The long brake line only braked the vehicle, but the pupil was crashed.
The reporter found that many auto repair plants or roadside repair shops tend to shoddy, especially those that do not involve security risks.
