Uncovering Amazing Insider of Auto 4S Stores

According to insiders, many auto 4S stores have also been purchased from Auto Parts City, but they have only changed their place. The highest value of auto parts has turned up 10 times. Recently, the reporter went to the Wuhan Wanyuan Auto Parts Market under the light rail Hankou Pacific Station to ask in front of a brand model store. After asking the model of the car, the boss stated that the 4S shop often came here to get the goods. "Some parts and accessories sold by 4S stores are not produced by the original factory, and they are all purchased from Auto Parts City." Another owner who has been operating in Auto Parts City for 21 years also confirmed.

Reporters were also informed during unannounced visits that headlights, bumpers, and other car covers, even if counterfeit, did not pose much security risk, 4S stores often come to this procurement. After the flow to the 4S shop, its value suddenly soared, up to more than 10 times. “As long as it looks good, the customer can't see the paint.” In another shop, the boss took out two kinds of bumpers, quoting 280 yuan and more than 100 yuan respectively. “It’s the finer pieces of the brand, which look more beautiful and loaded.” It's better to match it up.” He said that for the 280-yuan branded product, he would look for a store to do sheet metal work, and he would definitely do well within 450 yuan. The reporter’s previous offer at 4S shop was the lowest 1200 yuan. As for the headlights, the reporter consulted in the Auto Parts City to get three offers, namely, three grades of 1000, 700, and 500 yuan. The 4S shop reported 1,300 yuan.

According to some bosses, there are many manufacturers of auto parts. For example, manufacturers A and B both produce bumpers, but A manufacturers and OEMs have established supply and sales relations, and they are the designated suppliers of the brand's automakers. Parts of its production flowed into the market, and these parts were called genuine parts or original parts. B manufacturers do not support the brand and are referred to as deputy factory parts or brand parts in the market. The price will be lower. However, people familiar with the matter said that 4S stores never come to Auto City to overhaul mechanical parts and accessories that have a significant impact on safety.
