More and more people complain that now can not afford to buy a car, affordable, high maintenance costs have become a major burden on car owners. The reason, mainly because 4S shop maintenance price is too high, but behind the high price is the vehicle manufacturer suspected of vertical monopoly.
Following the statement by the NDRC in February that it is carrying out a peripheral investigation of the vertical monopoly of auto parts, in early March, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, together with those in the industry such as maintenance and insurance (reassurance insurance) and parts and components, jointly called for breaking down the vehicle manufacturers and the 4S Store monopoly in the automotive aftermarket to promote the sustained and healthy development of the automotive repair industry. A car key lost, if the 4S shop to 2000 yuan, and Auto Parts City to 200 yuan can be equipped with good, aftermarket car market, this situation is not an isolated phenomenon. Behind this is the vehicle manufacturer monopoly on the circulation of auto parts.
Industry sources, the current vehicle manufacturers monopoly of auto parts has formed a chain of interest: the import of vehicle companies, for example, it purchases parts from the parts business, and then increase 50% -100% sales to the 4S shop, 4S Shop 50% -100% increase sold to consumers, the final total import car parts price is 3 to 5 times the car itself. Domestic models may be lower, but the fare increase is about 25%. The source said. In order to allow owners to shop 4S shop, vehicle manufacturers generally require the upstream parts manufacturers signed an agreement to ensure that the products they provide will not be privately flow to the aftermarket, but only through them to the 4S shop supply.
In addition to accessories monopoly channels, the car manufacturers also blocked the technical information on vehicle maintenance, resulting in a comprehensive maintenance business deficiencies in technology, it is difficult to compete with the 4S stores. China Automotive Technology Research Center of Automotive Industry Policy Research Director, Chief Engineer Huang Yong said.
Currently, according to distribution channels, the domestic parts are mainly divided into two types: original parts and auxiliary parts. In the monopoly of the vehicle manufacturers, the general maintenance of the business simply can not get the original parts from the formal channels; the other hand, due to the production of many deputy factory parts source and distribution channels more complicated, resulting in many fake, shoddy parts Flooding the market, making it harder for the average repair shop to win customers.
OEMs do pose a vertical monopoly on China's accessory market. Huang Yonghe said that at present the legislative unit is advising relevant departments to make policy adjustments and is going to pass the regulations to break the monopoly of automobile manufacturers on the original accessory channels and the supply of spare parts Business restrictions, while the product information to be open.
The good news is that the news came out early this year that the Ministry of Commerce intends to amend the Measures for the Administration of the Sale of Auto Brands and that the issue of monopoly of spare parts for vehicle manufacturers should be amended in the new version of the Administrative Measures. On the other hand, the vehicle manufacturer's monopoly practice conflicts with the "Anti-Monopoly Law" and should be amended even under the law. Xinlei letter co-president and CEO lei predicts that the auto after-sales market, including auto repair service output value in 2012 400 billion yuan by 2015, the output value will reach 700 billion yuan. Faced with such a huge market cake, the vehicle manufacturers and their affiliated 4S stores apparently should not have been monopolized, in the long run, this monopoly is not conducive to the healthy development of the automotive market.
