Drivers who often run transportation are not unfamiliar with the purchase of semi-trailers. When it comes to the issues that should be paid attention to when picking up the car, everyone can also say something. Although there is no official explanation about the precautions when picking up the car, the experience and skills of friends also make sense. The following is a compilation of some precautions when picking up the car by Ouyang Huajun for your reference.
After buying a car, the basic principle when picking up the car is to be consistent with the contract.
1. The certificate of conformity, invoice and model must be unified
This is related to the legality of the vehicle. The certificate of conformity and the invoice are like the "identity card" of the trailer. Only when the certificate of conformity, invoice and model are unified can it be licensed. Netizens should pay attention to checking two points. One is the unity of the certificate of conformity and the invoice, that is, the company that issues the invoice and the company on the certificate of conformity are the same company name, and the second is that the model on the certificate of conformity must be consistent with the model parameters of the actual vehicle.
Another point to remind everyone is that the amount of the car purchase invoice must be verified. A small amount is not necessarily a good thing. Although a small amount can reduce a certain amount of purchase tax, some places have stricter inspections and small amounts may be reviewed again.
2. The brand and specifications of the main accessories should be consistent with the contract
Focus on checking whether the brands of tires, axles, steel rims, ABS, etc. are consistent with those in the contract. Different brands of accessories have obvious differences in price and quality. For example, according to the manufacturer's staff, Liangshan trailer factories generally use Komi and Haina. Haina's price is about 2,000 yuan, and Komi's is about 2,500 yuan, with a price difference of about 500 yuan. In addition to paying attention to checking the brand of the accessories, the model specifications should also be checked. The same brand of accessories, different models and specifications also have price and quality differences.
3. Check whether the thickness of the steel is consistent with the contract
The quality of the trailer is the key to the beam, but it is difficult to detect the type of steel used in the beam without professional instruments. Although the quality of the steel cannot be seen, you can bring a caliper when picking up the car to measure the steel thickness of the beam, side beam, floor, and carriage. Even if many small trailer manufacturers do not use fake things, many steels are not in accordance with national standards.
As for the welding aspect that many car pick-ups are concerned about, the larger trailer factories do not have much problem in welding, but there are differences in the aesthetics of the welds. As long as it is not particularly bad, there is no need to worry too much about it.
4. Connect the tractor to check the electrical system
Generally, larger trailer factories have professionals to debug, install and test. Connect the tractor to see if all the lights and gas of the trailer are working well. If the circuit is not good, some lights will not light up, and if the gas circuit is not working well, the brake valve will not open.
5. The number of small accessories should also be checked
The number of spare tire racks, the number of brake air chambers, the number of leaf springs, the number of rope tighteners, and whether the tools on the vehicle are complete should also be paid attention to. Often these small things are easy for us to ignore.
Finally, I would like to remind friends who pick up trailers that it is best to go with several people when picking up the car, especially after checking the car, try not to leave one person. It is reported that some illegal manufacturers initially installed real bridges, and when the customers have checked the car, they replaced the fake bridges when the customers were away or not paying attention. This situation is not uncommon.
The editor here reminds everyone that it is very important to take the contract to the car, and the trailer configuration is consistent with the contract. It is best to take a copy of the contract when picking up the trailer, and check each item carefully.
Having said these precautions, it is also a reminder to the majority of driver friends that before buying a car, don’t just care about the price of the trailer. Choosing a reputable manufacturer and salesperson can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble and relieve your worries when buying a good trailer.
