What is the future of car maintenance?
New changes in the automobile maintenance market
In people's traditional concept, the automobile maintenance industry is dirty and tiring, and few people are willing to engage in this profession. With the continuous increase in the number of automobiles in our country, the deepening of reform and the development of high and new technologies, my country's automobile maintenance enterprises have developed rapidly in recent years and have begun to mature. Automobile maintenance enterprises continue to develop towards large-scale, high-end and high-level. Some new companies have invested millions or tens of millions to build modern factories, office buildings, professional dormitories, bathrooms and luxurious business rooms, and purchased advanced maintenance equipment and testing instruments produced in the United States, Germany and other countries. Old companies have also renovated and Add equipment. While attaching great importance to "hardware" investment, we also pay attention to the level of "software". Technical workers must be trained and certified to work, and at the same time, we attach great importance to the training of new technologies in automobile maintenance. All maintenance companies are taking the road of self-improvement and self-improvement.
2. Changes in traditional maintenance methods
Since modern cars have become high-tech from structure to control technology, it is no longer feasible to use the past "handcraft repair" method. The disassembly method of extensive disassembly and disassembly is no longer suitable for modern automobile maintenance. Modern automobiles have high technological content and must adopt non-disassembly methods, use detectors for diagnosis, correctly find faults and their causes, and formulate troubleshooting plans. This is a standardized method of repairing a car.
3. Survey on the current quality of employees
At present, the technical quality of employees in domestic maintenance enterprises is generally low, and the overall technical level cannot meet the development needs of new automotive technologies. According to statistics, more than 85% of employees in existing maintenance enterprises are graduates of high school, junior high school or even elementary school, 10% are from various technical schools, and less than 5% are graduates of related majors from college or technical secondary school. In terms of personnel distribution, 5% of highly educated personnel are engaged in related enterprise management work, 10% of various technical school students are becoming the backbone of enterprises, and 85% of primary and secondary school graduates are working on the front line of production, and their technical level is improving slowly. From this point of view, maintenance companies are in need of technical talents with theoretical foundation and formal training. Such talents can improve rapidly after practical training. They can be directly enriched in the production line and improve the overall technical level.
IV. Survey on the current market demand for middle- and senior-level automobile maintenance practitioners
It was learned from the recently held national high-level skilled personnel training and seminar that among the current structure of the skilled worker team in my country, technicians The ratio of above, senior workers, intermediate workers and junior workers is only 4:8:31:57, while the ratio in developed countries is 11:23:49:17. Obviously, the shortage of intermediate and senior technical talents in my country is very serious. Among them, especially in popular majors such as auto repair and numerical control, senior technicians known as "senior blue-collar workers" have become a scarce resource, and news about the emergence of "senior blue-collar workers" has been reported frequently. It is predicted that by 2005, the gap of intermediate and senior technical talents in automobile maintenance in my country will reach 2 million. At present, the salary of senior automobile maintenance technicians in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places is comparable to that of graduate students. From this point on, From a series of data, it seems that if you learn auto repair well and master a good skill, your employment prospects are very bright. Three major development trends in the foreign automobile after-sales service industry
According to the definition of the American Automobile After-sales Industry Association, the so-called "automobile after-sales market" refers to "the spare parts and services used in the repair and maintenance of automobiles after they are sold." , the companies involved mainly include three major categories of companies: manufacturers of auto parts, sellers of auto parts, and auto repair service providers.
In the United States, there are many types of car repair shops. Customers can choose a suitable manufacturer based on their hobbies, the degree of damage to the car and the items that need to be repaired. If you are willing to spend more money to buy with peace of mind, car owners can go to the original factory for repairs; if you want to save money, go to some small stores. A considerable part of their accessories are imported from Asia, and many of them are made in China; if you are willing to do it yourself To get started, go to a specialized car supermarket or the auto parts counter of a large department store.
The foreign automobile after-sales service industry has shown three major development trends: First, brand management.
This is mainly divided into two categories: automobile manufacturers and professional auto parts repairers. This type of repair shop has a large scale, sophisticated production equipment, and maintenance personnel who have received unified training and are technically authoritative. Their service targets are mainly brand cars that are repaired at designated locations.
Second, the concept changes from repair to maintenance. Foreign automobile manufacturers believe that real service is to ensure the normal use of users and to add value to customers through services. Manufacturers have put forward the zero-repair concept in product manufacturing, and the focus of after-sales service has shifted to maintenance.
Third, high technology continues to penetrate. With the development of technology, the level of electronics in automobiles is getting higher and higher, automobile warranty is becoming more and more complex, and a large number of high-tech maintenance equipment are used in the automobile maintenance industry. With the development of automobile maintenance network technology, maintenance information, diagnostic data, circuit diagrams, repair procedures, etc. can be obtained online at any time, narrowing the differences in access to technical information for maintenance companies of different sizes.
Hope it can be helpful to you.
