Recently, the company was exposed for intentionally smashing vehicles and other means to increase the degree of damage to vehicles, in order to obtain more repair costs. Japanese media reported that some repairmen put golf balls into socks and vigorously hit the car body, while others used screwdrivers and other tools to scratch the car body, intentionally damaged the headlight cover, and replaced unnecessary parts. This behavior has been ongoing for at least 5 years.
Due to many car repair customers having purchased car insurance, the rapid increase in repair costs has attracted the attention of several insurance companies in Japan. Currently, various insurance companies are demanding that this company return the insurance benefits obtained through improper means.

In addition, there are reports that the executives of this company are demanding that the cost of repairing a car reach approximately 7000 yuan, and the high performance indicators have led some employees to resort to any means to raise repair costs.
In fact, this company's violations are not only related to car smashing and insurance fraud. According to previous reports from Japanese media, several factories under the company that were originally qualified for vehicle inspection have had their vehicle inspection qualifications revoked due to intentional omission of certain items and violation of regulations such as fabricating relevant records. This company has been frequently exposed for its violations, causing shock in Japanese society and greatly reducing the trust of local consumers in the company.
