There comes a time when even the most reliable car has to be repaired. And the quality of the repair directly depends on new parts and assemblies installed during the work. Therefore, when choosing spare parts, pay special attention to their quality, correlating it with the price.
It is necessary
Original, licensed and used spare parts
Instructions
Step 1
The optimal solution when replacing units and parts of a car is the installation of original spare parts. These are parts that are produced by the same manufacturer as the car. They usually bear a serial production number. It determines the batch number, so if the part is defective, you can return it and get a new one. Original parts fully meet all the quality requirements of the manufacturer. But their price is quite high, and it is rather difficult to find them. Therefore, purchase them in cases where the most important parts and assemblies of the car are changing, subject to heavy loads and severe wear.
Step 2
A cheaper and more affordable option is licensed parts that are produced by third-party companies. Their price is much lower than the original ones. But there is no unequivocal opinion on the quality. Much depends on the manufacturer and its specialization. Before buying a licensed spare part, collect as much information as possible about the manufacturer, read reviews about its products. Most often, the resource of such spare parts is less than that of the original ones. Just calculate the cost of work and spare parts in a price-quality ratio and make the right choice. Sometimes it is more profitable to purchase a licensed part.
Step 3
Do not confuse licensed parts with alternatives. They are third-party products designed to improve the characteristics of a particular car (tuning), and, accordingly, have a higher price.
Step 4
To combine the high quality of the original spare part with a reasonable price, contact the dismantling of the desired car brand. Here you can always buy used parts and assemblies, most often in good condition for very little money. This method is especially beneficial if you need to purchase parts and assemblies for foreign cars. Make sure that parts are removed from cars used in developed countries, where they always carefully monitor their technical condition and undergo maintenance on time. When purchasing, ask for a document confirming that the purchased spare part is in good working order.
