The market of spare part is shaken lately by price increase through several points of sale of car spare parts in the wilaya of Mostaganem, this has created much discontent and confusion on the part of vehicle owners who were surprised and shocked by this new increase, according to them, some parts have increased by 50℅.
The decrease in purchasing power as well as the increase of prices of fruit and vegetables and other food products, a situation which is complicating the everyday life of citizens of Mostaganem, who asked too many questions for fear that this, will affect again the transport price.
According to a trader, this is due to the imbalance of market supply and demand. Another problem is reported in this situation, which is the invasion of counterfeit spare parts in the local and national market. Some taxi drivers we questioned on this subject revealed that they preferred to buy used parts: "Buying a used replacement part is more reliable and secure than acquiring a counterfeit new piece that lasts only two months without any security guarantee," we were told. According to experts, this infringement unfortunately affects all vehicle parts, namely, brakes, lights, wheels, wipers, etc.
Various types of parts are not subject to prior checking by the vehicle manufacturer, and do not bear his name or brand, nor any of its guarantees. There a real danger for the customer who buys counterfeit parts, dishonest importers prefer to ignore the reality to justify their act by speaking only about copied parts.
The economy of the parallel spare part has really grown at a high speed, and many dealers think that it is really necessary to fight against the corrupt dealers of the spare part by strengthening customs services with modern means for detecting counterfeit products control of the state in the national market and consolidate sales in general, particularly with the implementation of a new set of specifications.
