Car accessories prices rose the biggest increase in fasteners

Recently, the reporter learned from an interview with Guiyang Taiciqiao Auto Parts City and Guiyang Shenghua Automobile City that although the family car market in Guiyang has been cut prices several times this year, auto parts that have never been noticed by car buyers have risen sharply. It is understood that this price increase involves many models of accessories, the average increase in the 15% to 20%, individual varieties rose by more than 30%.

The parts of Guiyang's operating accessories are mainly Taishiqiao, Lihua two auto parts cities and some car brands 4S shop. According to Liu Hua, an auto parts sales department of Shenghua Automobile City, some brands look at the type of accessories, and accessories such as water tanks, crankshafts, and electrical appliances, which have a relatively small frequency of change, have risen around 10%; wearing parts such as fasteners The largest increase was seen in hoods, covers, and exterior parts. For example, a brand's hood was sold for more than 300 yuan and now sells for more than 400 yuan. The increase in rare parts is even more embarrassing, nearly 30%, such as imported fasteners.

In Taiziqiao Auto Parts City, the reporter learned that the variety of accessories here covers almost all the car brands on the market, and most of its prices have risen to some extent. Taking the most commonly used antifreeze solution for automobiles as an example, the antifreeze in barrels has risen by 67 yuan per barrel while the barrels have risen by about 20 yuan. According to Manager Yu Hongyun, the annual price of auto parts will drop, but the rate will not be too high. This time, the accessories have risen across the board, which is not normal. So, what caused the sharp rise in auto parts?

When talking about the reasons for the price cuts of cars, the manager of the auto parts division of Guiyang Automobile Group analyzed that, first, with the rise in global non-ferrous metal prices, accessories that belong to metal products also began to become popular. Second, the rise in oil prices has led to an increase in transportation costs, which has also affected the prices of accessories. Third, the exchange rate changes, rising imports of accessories and the international currency market exchange rate changes are not unrelated, such as the recent rise in the yen, so that the price of Japanese products have risen. Fourth, manufacturers "diverted the dike outside the embankment to make up," recently a car price pressure and then pressure, business profits become thinner and thinner, they look for remedies from the accessories.

Some industry insiders believe that compared with the past, the price increase of accessories is characterized by its universality and large increase. Once the price of accessories has risen, it will be a long process to fall back, and it will not be restored in the first two or three months. However, some people believe that vehicle prices have continued to decline in recent years, and that the resumption of price hikes in fittings is only a temporary phenomenon and will not last long. The simultaneous decline in parts prices and vehicle prices will certainly become an irreversible trend in the market. It is better for car manufacturers to wait until they are forced to cut their prices in order to gain a competitive edge and to seize more market share.

However, as far as car consumption is concerned, most consumers' attention is always focused on the entire vehicle, ignoring its parts and after-sales services, but what consumers ignore is precisely the source of profits that businesses value. Therefore, people in the industry reminded consumers that they should have a certain understanding of their accessories before deciding to purchase a car. It is best to calculate maintenance accounts carefully. Maintenance is the focus of car consumption costs.
