Posted on 10/19/2015 10:02:52 AM

Currently, the automobile manufacturer's vehicle master key data, including the electronic control system data, circuit wiring diagrams, maintenance manuals, etc., are only available to its authorized dealers. This leads to 4S shops in vehicle maintenance, particularly maintenance involving key parts of the engine, transmission, wire circuits and the like, there is Social vehicle repair unit incomparable technical advantages, formed a technology monopoly. 4S store minor ailments Daiji exist, not only for repair, working hours and other costs artificially high has been a hot issue owners complain,Caterpillar 320D injector valve but because 4S store has a monopoly technology, so consumers often can only be "suffering not to say . "
A few days ago, "car repair technical information disclosed embodiments management approach" (hereinafter referred to as the "Rules") by the Ministry of Transport and the Joint Environmental Protection, Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the State Administration of Quality Supervision, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration Commission, the State Intellectual Property Office of China Insurance Regulatory Commission to formulate, implement since January 1, 2016.
After the "measures" implemented, consumers can make good use of the relevant provisions in the documents, to make their vehicles more economical and efficient.
Repair does not have to "bind" 4S shop
"Rules" clearly automobile producers should use online information disclosure mode, vehicle maintenance technology information disclosure sales. "Measure", "car producers should be available in the form of information, facilitate information pathways, reasonable price information without discrimination to all service operators and consumers, without discrimination, without delay servicing public car models sold Technical information; by providing technical barriers can not eliminate or restrict competition, blockade or car repair market monopoly automobile producers while user information should be public vehicle maintenance technology information. ".
This "approach" from next year, once the implementation, 4S shop monopoly in the automotive repair technical information will be broken, social service resources vehicle repair unit will be strengthened, they repair professional terms will have the foundation par 4S shops and possibilities.
And "approach" echoed that, after the Ministry of Transportation of the current "motor vehicle maintenance regulations" (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations") proposed ten amendments, the revised "Regulations" will also be January 1, 2016 since implementation. Article 5.2 which states: "prop repair shall be entitled to choose the operators for maintenance repairs except automotive manufacturers to fulfill defective auto product recall, automotive quality 'Three Guarantees' responsibility, no unit or individual may compel or disguised. Forced designated maintenance operators. "
Based on this provision and foregoing the "measures" provisions, consumers can choose the price system more affordable, more flexible social management mechanism auto repair units in accordance with the actual situation, but not necessarily to be 4S shop "binding."
"Homogeneous parts" accredited
"Measures" requirements "to strengthen the promotion of the use of homogeneous parts, and promote the maintenance of technical information in accordance with the insurance companies, the homogeneity accessories and fine determined damage, reduce maintenance costs and insurance costs, protect the interests of consumers." The "rule" is also the first time a clear definition the "homogeneous parts" that "product quality equal to or higher than the standard requirements of loading parts and accessories with good loading performance," while parties clarify prop repair, maintenance operators may use homogeneous parts repair motor vehicles.
In homogeneous parts by officially recognized background, consumers can more safely go to social auto repair units to low purchase price, but with the "original parts" comparable to the homogeneous parts, which can effectively reduce the cost of car. At present, electricity providers are also actively layout automobile market, sales by the electricity supplier homogeneous parts can be accessed directly from manufacturers to consumers, without the need for intermediate links, cost consumers more affordable. But industry analysts, the current promotion of homogeneous parts still exist unified coding, quality certification, etc. Branding needs a lot of work to implement.
"Old car" is also guaranteed
In accordance with the "Rules" requirement, automobile producers since January 1, 2016, to obtain CCC certification of passenger cars, to date models listed in the maintenance of technical information from the public within six months; car producers in 2017 to On January 1, publicly available information CCC certified service technicians and sale of passenger cars after July 1, 2008.
That is to say, from the next year the new models must be timely disclosure of listed car repair technical information, and the old models should open in 2017 at the latest to the appropriate information. Otherwise car producers will be subject to the relevant penalties.
Some owners of older models have often encountered parts hard to find, difficult maintenance problems, information disclosure after the repair, you can more effectively address these challenges, the owner can also find the appropriate solutions in accordance with public service information.
