The crisis of the genre: spare parts for cars

Motorists who own foreign cars, gradually began to realize that a freebie with spare parts, as in the late 90's, no longer a "mill". State obsessed with wholesalers. Not only that prices for customs clearance are growing by leaps and bounds, so still and fiscal authorities have begun to vigorously seek out and check these with passion, in general, non-poor organization. A feeling that the tax inspectorate in each district on the wall hangs a poster with the slogan: "Check out the wholesaler and buy a new Lexus». No need to explain what a test company, has a huge warehouse, whose state is changing every minute. As far as all this drags on, it is known only by inspection. Retailers, trampling at the entrance, just add nervousness. The question: "When at last?" - Wholesalers only shrug. You can understand those and others. Owners of retail shops are also waiting at the entrance of impatient owners of imported cars, call them on the phone and asked: "How so? You promised to bring my radiator / fender / hood / camshaft on Wednesday and today on Friday, I have written in the car wash, what an outrage! "Nothing to argue. In addition, there is such a wonderful tool, as the Law on Consumer Protection, under which the buyer can pick up an advance payment for the item and leave you feeling sad alone with rear steering rack on the Toyota Corona Exiv. Will anyone sell it then? Do not be naive. Wholesalers are protected as they can. One well-known companies involved with the delivery of spare parts from United Arab Emirates, moved from place to place on average once every two years. The site does not address. Phone numbers are listed only mobile. Advertising nowhere. Getting there easy. Black three-meter metal fence with a metal door and the same eye camera. On the question of a deaf speaker: "Where?" - Answer: "To the manager of such a man." The door opens. Get into the dressing room the size of 2h2h2 meters. People who suffer from claustrophobia, it is better to do other business. Some time locked both doors - and the entrance and exit. The camera is carefully studying the guests. The door opens. Such repeated again at the entrance to the building. What to do? With the wolves live - a wolf howl. An unpleasant incident happened to another well-known company that sells optics and iron, made in Taiwan. It was located near the old "bird market." Easily accessible, and it is nowadays more bad than good. First, there traveled with the convenience of buyers, then with the same ease and got fiscals. Apparently, the financial blow dealt to the tax service was terrible. Taiwanese parts perished in the industrial zones in the south of Moscow, some planned travel. Now there will not get even with the help of GPS-navigator and a group of clairvoyants. Fiscal authorities will not go there, and buyers will think ten times before going into such a difficult journey. And it was well before! Instead of buying a lamp for $ 300, it was possible to restrict only 50 dollars, and external differences do not notice, and the quality at altitude - were tested at one time. One company that stood in his time at the source, working under the name "Dry Cleaning". We go inside, and the truth Service. Confusedly asking: "Where?" .. "Priemschitsa winks and points to the dark corridor. Rather, there, for spare parts, past chadyaschimi washing machines and bales of dirty laundry! Another well-known firm cleared a warehouse away from the office, apparently guided by the well-known proverb: "Away put, you take a closer." In our time, it works well. Well, come to check into the office, and there, but a dozen computers and sellers, nothing and no one. Paralyze the firm can not, therefore, "unfasten" not for that. Customs also contributes its feasible mite, incredibly complicated the work of "custom". Every week they have new rules. "With today's forbidden to import car parts, containing gas under pressure (shock), pyro (eyrbegi, retractors), complex electronic devices (control units), and so on." A transport, scored the eyeballs of these forbidden things, is on its way to Moscow. "Bad" container is checked and all wrapped up, if there is at least one item not to be imported in accordance with the new rules. Where are they? Maybe a bribe? And take? Who is it? Already been paid and the parts and for transportation. To preserve at least parts, wholesalers trafficked from Russia, all somewhere, no matter where. We have no safety guarantees. That dust container a month somewhere in Korea, waiting for custom "good will". Maybe it will, maybe not. In the end, usually gives only the container's contents had already obsolete. A final buyer, the owner of foreign cars already and is not happy that I decided to save money. Promised to bring for a week has passed two parts is not clear when there will be while the machine is needed, mother-in-law swears, to the country wants. What did he care to numerous officials, heating their hands on this business. Officials, of course, also want to eat much. Mere mortals do not eat much. But how much is already possible to explain these truths to its customers, and they one and the same tired to listen. Yes, to hell with them, with the money! Nerves are expensive! The next time repaired at the dealers, no matter how much it may cost. But too early to say "ho". The dealer also their "features". First of all, most of the 'officials are only interested in one kind of client - one that buys a car now, or orders. The most popular models in long lines do not have anything competently explain, to talk about the pros and cons, know the money is considered. The level of "experts" is impressive. Accepter body shop did not know the meaning of the word "shagreen". After talking with this, you feel an irresistible urge to leave the "institution". What are they naremontiruyut, God knows. Or maybe we should not do? Neither the book nor the customs clearance, either to bring? Simply collect money from people and then there are infinitely dynamite? Risk, of course. The people in Moscow difficult. And who said that such an office was opened ordinary people? How many can survive for a professional auto business from fraudsters? A year or two? For the first time had a chance encounter with them for about 12 years ago. As far as we know, the house is still "in bloom and smell, unlike many honest businessmen of this sector. The scheme is simple. A man bought a car, Nissan Presage, for example. Involved in an accident, you need hardware. For such a car, few will help him, only to order from Japan, at least two weeks. Prices at all about the same, time, too. And suddenly, a miracle! According to yet another ad calling a pleasant baritone voice says that all are in stock at a price somewhere in the 30% cheaper than the average in Moscow - come, pay, take away. The lucky winner of a rarity bullet flies at the address. Before the doors of all the precious from the same excited and happy people. Starts on one - it's more convenient "divorce". Before the doors, like a sphinx, froze two police officers inside the comely and courteous young men and a guard condition and a person like King Kong. Computers for young people not just some kind of greasy catalogs obscure manufacturers. You are invited to immediately pay for parts. Pay. Obtain some unconvincing piece of paper. The question: "Where parts?" - We answer: "Go to the warehouse." We pass to the warehouse there, politely but firmly told that details have not yet brought up, and bring up tomorrow afternoon. Everything. From this moment you can forget the spare parts, and about money. Did not bring either one month or one year. Treatment in any instance will not bring the desired results. The firm is thriving, even judging by the fact that the office has been gradually moving towards the center. In general, no one seeks to facilitate the life of the ordinary motorist. Inomarka rarely breaks down? And you try to repair it!
