Shortage on spare parts market

"It's true that there is a shortage of spare parts on the market. For example, we lack gearboxes from Japan. As a result, more than fifty cars stay locked in the garage. Not to mention those waiting for their rooms for nearly three months. If the government does not change his mind, before long, the beautiful Japanese will be good for scrap." That's what Zaid Ameer, Chairman of the Dealers Association of Imported Vehicles said to the Le Matinal.

"Since Japan was hit by the tsunami have detonated a nuclear power plant, you cannot import parts from there. We face many difficulties. Before, it was difficult to procure second-hand vehicles and we had to produce a bank guarantee for each imported vehicle, but fortunately it is no longer the case," he said.

The showrooms can now use the even with the existing government guarantee to cover the importation of up to 20 vehicles from Japan. By cons, people who import from Japan on an individual basis, second-hand vehicles, will continue to present the bank guarantee of Rs 100,000.We also reported that the Nippon Kaiji Kyokai Kenta comes to lend a hand at Bureau Veritas Japan and are now recognized authorities to inspect PBS vehicle to detect if traces of radioactive contamination.
