In fact, the four Hubei dealers who were fined this time are not a case. It is understood that the practice of mandatory charging of PDI testing fees by BMW dealers is also quite common in various BMW 4S stores in Beijing.
Consumer voice: Do not pay the money, do not give the car sales staff said that the complaint is invalid Beijing consumer Ms. Li (pseudonym) told reporters that she bought a BMW Mini Countryman model in Beijing Yanbao 4S shop, went to the store last weekend When the car is sold, the salesperson is required to pay more than 1,000 yuan PDI testing fee, otherwise the car will not be picked up. Although it is unreasonable to believe that the 4S shop is forced to charge the PDI test fee, the salesperson said that the charge is a unified regulation of the company, not its personal behavior, so it is not possible to apply for the car without paying the fee.
Ms. Li told reporters that in order to avoid paying this unreasonable fee, she once wanted to make a complaint to the BMW (China) 400 hotline, but the salesperson told her that BMW (China) had handed over the final interpretation of the issue. Dealers, even if the consumer complaints can only be negotiated with the dealer, and will not get any substantive results. "You can make a phone call and you can't save money. My bonus for this month has been deducted. I have bought hundreds of thousands of cars. If you pick up the car right away, don't torture me for this 1000 yuan. "In the face of the salesperson's remarks, Ms. Li had to pay the fees and pick up the car."
Reporter's investigation: PDI testing fees are not for BMWs. The BMW dealers learned from reporters in the car owners' forums of car homes and love cards. Most BMW owners have encountered the requirement to pay PDI testing fees when purchasing vehicles. Happening. Some are offset by the way they buy insurance in the store, while others use the bargaining method to minimize the cost, but most car owners still pay the corresponding fees. Some netizens directly summed up that "PDI is a hidden rule in Shanghai and Beijing."
Mr. Yan, the moderator of the Beijing BMW 5 Series Elite Che Youhui, said in an interview: This fee does not make sense, but the actual situation is that more than half of the BMW owners have reluctantly paid this part of the cost when they purchase the car. "I also know that some people have not paid this fee. Some of them have a tough attitude and some are more troublesome." Mr. Yan said that the charge for this fee is a bit of a taste of the dish.
In addition, according to the reporter, the car brand that collects PDI testing fees is not a BMW. The owners of Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, Nazhijie and other brands have all reported that they have been charged PDI testing fees. 500-1200 yuan. It is also puzzling that the owners of these brands are not 100% fully paid, and people who are still "having the ability" can not pay.
Official statement: charging PDI testing fees is a dealer behavior. We can mediate the situation that the complaints against BMW China cannot be effectively processed. The reporter calls the BMW China 400 after-sales service hotline for verification.
The official response from the customer service staff is: "For the PDI testing fee, BMW manufacturers do not have a clear regulation, and belong to the dealer's autonomous behavior."
The reporter said that he would complain about the forced collection of PDI testing fees. The wiring staff said: As a platform for communication feedback, they can only help consumers to communicate the problem of charging PDI testing fees for 4S stores. The final processing results and methods will be 4S. The store comes to negotiate with consumers.
