Through the consultation of this expert friend, Zhou Yi finally understood something.
The reason why I didn't notify him was to replace some parts first.
For example, when it comes to vehicle parts, there is a huge gap between original and aftermarket parts, while dismantled parts are somewhere in between.
Its quality is better than the aftermarket ones, but the price is lower than the original ones.
Especially a car like Zhou Yi's, which is almost indistinguishable from a new car.
Those dismantled car parts are all good stuff.
"So I'm telling you, Xiao Zhou, you're being reckless. If someone's repairing their car overnight, they have to be careful. And you just drove over there and didn't even check it out for days."
"I guess it's your attitude that makes people think you're a careless person, even though even if you were more careful, you wouldn't have noticed this..."
This expert friend is quite talkative. He said that this kind of parts replacement incidents were actually quite common ten years ago, as parts were expensive then. Now, they are basically gone.
Especially in 4S stores, there are too many ways to make money. Almost no one does this kind of parts replacement. Compared with maintenance and other projects, this makes less money and is slow.
Many times, replacing parts is not worth the effort. If someone finds out, not only will you have to bear a lot of responsibility, but your reputation will be ruined.
So basically no one does this now, but Zhou Yi's case is really special. He had a new car and was careless. It had just been repaired, but it was driven by an employee in the store and had an accident.
That's perfect. No one knows the circumstances of the accident anyway, so we just changed it. It should have been a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Moreover, even if it is really replaced, you won’t be able to detect it because it is impossible for you to take the parts apart and check them one by one.
It is said that the person in charge has already started telling Zhou Yi some inside information.
There are many opportunities in the car repair business. A luxury car came in for repair, and after two days of inspection, it was found that a certain part needed cleaning.
What should I do? Should I tell the car owner that the labor cost was 2,000 yuan and the repair cost was 30 yuan?
Just get some more and replace even those that don't need to be replaced.
Especially when the owner comes to see the car and finds that the car has been disassembled, in many cases he will agree to replace anything you ask him to do...
This is the same in all walks of life. After all, different industries are like different worlds. Some people do business honestly and rely on word of mouth, while others just want to cheat and make a fortune.
"Brother Jiang, what you mean is that it's difficult to fix the problem after replacing the parts, right? Unless we take them apart and compare them one by one."
"Yes, but this is very troublesome. However, the parts that need to be replaced are basically more expensive. Ordinary ones are not necessary."
"Xiao Zhou, you don't really want to check, do you? If you really want to, you can contact some professional testing agencies. As long as you're willing to spend money, they can find out everything for you."
"But I don't recommend doing this. The gain outweighs the loss..."
After chatting with Brother Xue for a few more words, Zhou Yi hung up the phone.
Then, according to the request of Brother Xue, I started taking pictures of the screws in some key parts.
Because whenever you want to replace parts, these key screws need to be unscrewed, but it is not easy for laymen to see.
Zhou Yi sent all the photos to the WeChat of the big brother opposite as requested, and received a reply soon.
"Xiao Zhou, we can confirm for now that these parts have signs of being moved. They must have been opened."
Brother Xue didn't say anything definite, he just said there were signs of tampering. As to whether the parts were really replaced, it was hard to say.
When I came back, Manager Ren was no longer there.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yi called the other party.
"Hey Mr. Zhou, I'm busy right now. Don't tell me this anymore. It's useless. This is the rule of our company."
"Manager Ren, I just took a quick look and found that some screws in my car have been moved!"
"Ah? Mr. Zhou, I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe the mechanic moved it during the inspection after the accident."
"Do we need to move those parts for the inspection? Manager Ren, this doesn't seem right. The parts inside..."
However, before Zhou Yi could finish his words, Manager Ren asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you doubting our replacement of parts?"
"I'm telling you, we're a legitimate store, and this kind of thing will never happen. Please rest assured!"
"Of course, if Mr. Zhou is worried, he can go to a third-party testing agency with professional qualifications to conduct testing and issue a professional report. We will definitely not stop him."
"……good!"
After hanging up the phone, Manager Ren felt a little suspicious. Zhou Yi's reaction on the other side seemed a little too calm.
Manager Ren had worked in many repair shops and 4S stores before, and had seen this kind of suspected parts replacement many times.
Of course, some are true and some are false, but Manager Ren always responds with such words.
If you have doubts, that's fine, but you can't just replace parts because you have doubts. You have to find evidence.
And you must find companies or institutions with professional qualifications to conduct testing and issue reports.
Many times, customers will excitedly say that the matter is not over yet and they will definitely ask about it, but it will never be resolved.
Anyway, I have been working in this industry for so many years and have never encountered anyone who actually hired someone to come for testing, because if the test results are not changed, they can still collect the money.
But after thinking about it, I made another call.
"Hey, Old Fu, be careful, people have already found the traces!"
"It's just two parts, it's okay, Manager, that's all."
Manager Ren didn't take it seriously. It was just a few parts. Normally, he didn't need to replace any parts. Not only would he not make much money, but it would also be troublesome.
