As an important part of the vehicle emission control system, the three-way catalyst is very important for the car owner.However, many illegal traders and repair shops will steal the original three-way catalyst for the car owner's benefit.So, what is the value of the three-way catalyst?Why do people always want to steal it?
One, the value of the three-way catalyst
Three-way catalyst is a key component in the vehicle emission control system, the main role is to reduce the harmful substances in the vehicle exhaust.The three-way catalyst contains precious metal catalysts, such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, etc., which can promote the oxidation of harmful substances at high temperatures and convert them into harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor.Therefore, the three-way catalyst is of great significance for vehicle emission control.However, due to the high metal content of the three-way catalyst, some illegal traders and repair shops will steal or refine it for sale to seek profits.According to the survey, the price of an original three-way catalyst is often as high as thousands of yuan, even tens of thousands of yuan.Therefore, the stealing of three-way catalyst has become a "way to make money" for some illegal traders and repair shops.
Two, why to steal the three-way catalyst?
1. Huge profit space
As mentioned above, the three-way catalyst has a high metal content, especially the precious metal catalyst. Some illegal traders and repair shops can obtain huge profits by stealing or refining and selling three-way catalysts.For example, a three-way catalyst worth thousands of yuan, after refining and selling, its profit can often reach several times or even dozens of times.
2. Owners have insufficient understanding of three-way catalysts
Many owners do not have a deep understanding of auto parts. They often think that as long as the vehicle can run normally, they can pay little attention to the emission control system.Therefore, when illegal traders and repair shops lure owners to replace three-way catalysts at a low price, many owners will be easily cheated because they do not understand its importance.
Three, how to prevent the stealing of three-way catalysts?
1. Choose a regular repair shop
When repairing vehicles, owners should choose a regular repair shop and qualified repair technicians.Regular repair shops usually have complete maintenance records and parts source certificates, which can provide reliable quality parts and professional maintenance services.At the same time, qualified repair technicians have rich professional knowledge and skills, which can better maintain and replace vehicle parts.
2. Pay attention to the price difference of parts
When purchasing or replacing three-way catalysts, owners should pay attention to the price difference. If the price of a three catalytic converter is significantly lower than the market price or the price of original accessories, it is likely that the illegal traders or repair shops are stealing parts.Therefore, when buying or replacing parts, owners should compare more and compare three shops, and choose parts with reasonable price and quality assurance.
3. Pay attention to vehicle maintenance records
When maintaining vehicles, owners should keep complete maintenance records.These records can be used as an important basis for future rights protection.If there is any improper behavior or suspected stealing of three catalytic converters in the process of vehicle maintenance, owners can complain to the relevant departments or seek legal help.
4. Improve their awareness of prevention
When maintaining vehicles, owners should keep alert and improve their awareness of prevention.If the illegal traders or repair shops tempt to replace the three catalytic converters at a low price, owners should keep calm and refuse the temptation.At the same time, owners can also report such behaviors to the relevant departments to safeguard their own rights and interests of other owners.
As an important part of the vehicle emission control system, the three catalytic converter is very important for owners.However, due to the huge profit space and other factors, some illegal traders and repair shops will steal the original three catalytic converters of owners. In order to prevent the occurrence of stealing behavior, owners should choose regular repair shops, pay attention to the price difference of parts, pay attention to the vehicle maintenance record and improve their awareness of prevention. Only in this way can we ensure the normal operation of the vehicle emission control system and safeguard their own rights and interests.
