Recently, Geely Global Hawk’s flagship store, the first store of China’s auto online shopping, officially opened in Taobao Mall. As the first person to eat crabs, Geely launched an online shop exclusively for models to distinguish the 4S shop sales model. The alliance between Geely and Taobao seems to open up a new model of car sales.

The same way to reduce the burden of car maintenance, many owners began to look to online shopping. Online low-cost auto parts products allow owners to find a way to save money. According to industry sources, the outlook for online shopping cars and automotive supplies is bright, but the reality is more twisted.

Online shopping accessories cheap price is very attractive "4S shop price of nearly 200 yuan a bottle of 4L installed oil, online sellers only sell 140 yuan, plus 15 yuan courier costs also save 45 yuan, and I still bought 4S shop online There is no sale of cruise handles and tire pressure monitoring accessories. In this way, online shopping is very cost-effective.” Last Thursday, in a 4S shop, the owner of the vehicle, Mr. Li, told reporters. Mr. Li's maintenance of all the spare parts are purchased from the Internet, a total of more than 300 yuan saved.

Parts sold online are cheap, but not fake? The reporter took a look at the original engine oil he had purchased from the Internet and found that the outer package was the same as the engine oil of the 4S shop. Then he learned about the after-sales manager of the 4S shop. After checking the security code, the shop technicians also confirmed it. Oil is genuine. In addition, Mr. Li's purchase of oil grid, cruise handles and tire pressure monitoring accessories are also genuine.

Mr. Li told reporters that he bought accessories from a professional auto parts store in Beijing, and his Cheyou Group's riders are basically online shopping accessories, especially some simple installation accessories, such as wheels, wipers Headlight switches, as well as conventional accessories such as engine oil and engine oil, are all purchased through online channels, and prices are usually 30% to 50% cheaper than in 4S stores.

There is no room for installation. It is very frustrating to benefit from the now-developed logistics system and third-party payment platforms. Online sales of auto parts have solved bottlenecks in the authenticity of transportation and inspection, and become a new choice for car owners with cheap prices. Relying on overseas purchasing, some car owners also bought parts that were not sold domestically through online stores, which made many car owners become fans of online shopping auto parts.

However, for auto parts online shopping, car owners often rely on a photo of a part or a rider's post, plus a few favorable records to make a purchase decision, so it still contains many problems. From the experience of some riders, the installation problem after online shopping accessories is a big risk.

Eight cameras, a long string of harnesses, and several electronic sensors and software CDs. This pile of accessories worth nearly 5,000 yuan “lays” in the tailgate of the car owner Xiao Zhong’s car for three months. Why put expensive spare parts in the car? Lifting this pile of accessories, Xiaozhong was angry. Originally, this pile of accessories was bought by him through an online shop in Germany. He wanted to buy it and install it on his own car to realize the automatic parking function of the original German model. After I bought it, I went to the 4S shop to install it. Whoever knew that the technicians had never been installed had no experience and could not install it. In order to install the automatic parking accessories, Xiaozhong has almost visited the repair shops in the main city, but there is no way. Want to return to the shop, the seller said the parts did not have quality issues, this is not a reason to return.

The rider reminds him to purchase accessories carefully. Although there are hidden risks, in the eyes of experienced riders, as long as you master the skills, you can still minimize the risk and spend the least money to buy the most cost-effective accessories.

Mr. Tang is a sales manager of a car 4S shop, and is also an online shopping expert.

He said that since his car passed the warranty period, he has purchased parts from the Internet to maintain and maintain the car. Mr. Tang said that to reduce the risk of online shopping auto parts, we must be careful to choose the type of online shopping accessories, it is best not to purchase online, such as reversing imaging systems, automatic parking systems, keyless entry and other installation of complex accessories. After online shopping, you need to pay extra to find someone to install is an additional expenditure, it is better to buy a product store to provide installation services. Moreover, after receiving such goods, they often cannot immediately determine whether the product has quality problems. Only after the installation can they be discovered.

Many owners of online shopping accessories think that some common parts and components, such as oil, wiper, fuel filter, air filter, lamps and some appearance parts are more suitable for online shopping, these accessories are easy to install. Second, it is easy to identify the authenticity. For some domestic car owners like to buy imported accessories, it is recommended to consult the local 4S shop, to see whether the domestic version of the model is supported, whether the 4S shop related installation system to make a decision.
