I am the owner of a Chery Tiggo 7. Unfortunately, I had an accident on July 2nd. When I took my car to the Ankara Chery Tan Oto Damage Department on July 3rd, they estimated that the damage would cost approximately 100,000₺, and even minor scratches or repairable parts would likely be replaced. I then took my car to a body shop in the industrial area, where I was told the damage would only cost around 20,000-30,000₺ and not many parts needed replacement.
On Friday, July 12th, the body shop informed me that some parts were needed, so I called the Ankara Tan Oto Damage Repair and Spare Parts Department. I also visited the spare parts department of the Ankara Mengerler Chery Dealer in person, intending to purchase these parts. However, both dealers refused to sell me the parts because I was not having the repairs done there. Consequently, I had to order the parts from another dealer outside the city. Now, my car, which should have been ready in a few days, is sitting in the shop for an additional one to two weeks waiting for parts, causing inconvenience to my family.
On July 12th, I called the Chery General Directorate to file a complaint, and they said they would look into it, but nothing has been done. Now, I have questions for you:
Why would the damage cost be estimated at 100,000₺ at the Chery Service when the actual repair cost is only 20,000-30,000₺?
According to the Ministry of Trade regulations, a distributor or dealer is required to provide spare parts for a vehicle they import for 10 years. How can both dealers refuse to sell me parts just because I am not having the repairs done there?
How can a newly established Chery dealer that claims "customer satisfaction is important to us" ignore my inconvenience?
In summary, I will report this issue to the necessary authorities and share my experience with everyone. I am also preparing a letter in Chinese to send to Chery's management in China. Due to this frustrating process, I plan to sell my car at the earliest opportunity. Respectfully, this is a warning to anyone considering buying a Chery vehicle.
