Problem 1: There are many counterfeit accessories that come with online shopping
Look, the labels on these two pots of engine oil both have the words "genuine" printed on them, but if a drop of water drips onto the "genuine" label, the words will disappear and disappear, and will reappear after being wiped dry. Many fake engine oils do not have this difference. "There are many friends who buy fake engine oil, and the quality of the oil directly affects the life of the engine. Mr. Lin dare not be careless, so he has to abandon low-priced online purchase of engine oil using products from car beauty shops.
Problem 2: It is easy to encounter parts that do not meet specifications
One major issue with car owners' purchased auto parts is that many of them do not meet the specifications. Due to the wide range of specifications for automotive parts products, ordinary consumers are not aware of what specifications their car models are suitable for, and often purchase according to the guidance of e-commerce when shopping online. After receiving the goods and taking them to the physical store for repair and maintenance, they were repeatedly told that they did not meet the specifications.
In the online shopping of car supplies that are prone to non-compliance, the majority are car parts, and the problem lies in the professionalism of car supplies. In the introduction of relevant physical stores, there have been instances of incorrect specifications in areas such as wipers, car lights, oil filters, tires, and even interior trim and seat covers. However, many car owners often cannot detect the incorrect specifications at the first time of receiving the goods, which also leads to difficulties and setbacks when requesting returns later on.
precautions
Don't trust physical stores easily
For many auto repair shops, if the car owner brings their own parts for maintenance and repair, charging only a labor fee actually doesn't make much profit. Therefore, the judgment made by auto repair shops on the authenticity or specifications of the car owner's own accessories may not be entirely reliable.
It is recommended to choose physical stores for durable accessories that are not easy to DIY
In a certain period of time, the largest number of online purchases of auto supplies are mainly concentrated in seat covers, cushions, car logos, car perfume, car deodorants, etc. If the car is mainly online buying more professional auto parts, try to be cautious.
