The share of second handed parts in fixing cars/ cars safety are affected by bad economy condition

Khodrocar - The economic situation these days has reached a point where people are showing interest in using second-hand parts, while uncertainty about the price of currency has caused the import of auto parts in the first six months of the year to reach its lowest level in 50 years. The shortage of parts in the market on the one hand, as well as sharp currency fluctuations and an unprecedented increase in the price of the dollar on the other hand have had a significant impact on the price of parts and this has severely reduced purchasing power. Increased.

Although spare parts market activists emphasize that by referring to major spare parts supply centers, parts with different quality and prices can be provided, but they acknowledge that difficult economic conditions have prevented the purchase of new parts.

"Currently, 45 to 50 percent of car repairs are done using second-hand parts. As spare parts become more expensive, people have turned to non-standard repairs of second-hand spare parts, which has become a big problem for repairmen and the number of repairs has increased.” Alireza Nick Ae’en, manager of auto repairmen union told khodrocar reporter. 

"In many cases, the repairs are not of good quality and therefore we have to repair them again, which has led to a large number of complaints to the union. The part that has lasted its life is not at a high level in terms of safety and is not even approved by the car manufacturers. Therefore, the use of these repairs in repairs has been rejected.” He adds. 

"Currently, several categories of complaints are submitted to the union, some of which are related to low-quality parts and the rest to second-hand parts. Raw materials and even monitoring them It is not clear that these cases have become problematic.” He says. 

"The use of second-hand parts in repair cars is requested by the customer himself, when the owner has a serious problem to buy a new part because of its high cost, the mechanic has to go to second-hand parts to repair the car, so on the first day the owner He orders the use of second-hand parts, but after delivering the car, he complains to the repairman.” He continued. 

"With the complaint of the car owner, a vote is issued in his favor and it is emphasized that second-hand parts should not be used if the owner has agreed to use second-hand parts with his consent. The economic situation and the conditions of the society are not such that it can be legislated in this regard, and if the current trend of the economic conditions continues, the repair of the cars will stop soon.” He mentioned. 

It seems that if there is no solution in this field, we will soon see a decrease in car safety and a new wave of accidents due to the use of second-hand parts. Therefore, it is necessary to anticipate and enter into serious decisions and strategies in this field as soon as possible.
