Private car repairs may involve parts being replaced. Below is relevant information about automobiles: Definition of an automobile: According to the latest national standard in China, "Terms and Definitions of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T3730.1—2001), an automobile is defined as follows: A non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, mainly used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles for transporting people and/or goods; or for special purposes. Introduction to domestic automobile brands: Domestic automobile brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
I've been driving for over ten years and often go to private repair shops for maintenance. To be honest, there have been instances where parts were swapped, but not every shop does this. I believe the key lies in the shop's reputation and your vigilance. I go to a trusted old shop where they always invite me in to watch when replacing parts and provide the old parts as evidence. If it's a new shop or an unfamiliar place, I take photos of the parts and note their numbers beforehand. After repairs, if I notice any performance issues like poor acceleration or unusual noises, I go back to inquire directly. For prevention, I recommend finding shops recommended by acquaintances and learning some basic car knowledge. After all, swapping parts might save money, but using inferior parts long-term can damage your beloved car.
