As you know, any machine cannot serve its owner forever. This is because parts sooner or later wear out and must be fully or partially replaced. In such situations, many car owners face the question of purchasing good quality components.
Types of spare parts
When buying this type of spare parts, you shouldn't have any unnecessary questions. These parts are manufactured by the manufacturer of the brand of your car and, with millimeter precision, coincide with them in terms of the assembly method.
In practice, they do not differ from the original. The quality remains at the highest level, and the price is significantly lower compared to the original. Most often, spare parts of this type are produced by the same plant only after the car has left the assembly line and has been put up for sale. Spare parts of this type are marked and produced under a different serial number.
This type of spare part is of unknown origin, although in some cases it may be originals that have been imported into the country illegally. They differ greatly in price compared to the above options.
It is the cheapest type of spare parts (sometimes it is sold two or three times lower than the market price of the original). As well as counterfeit, unknown in origin, it comes from countries such as China or Taiwan. They are of extremely low quality.
How to distinguish spare parts of one type from others
Original spare parts or their analogues are always manufactured in compliance with all norms, rules and standards. And counterfeit and fake try to copy them in order to mislead buyers.
The first thing you need to pay attention to is. When looking at the box containing the purchased spare, pay attention to the label. It can be unevenly glued or completely peeled off at the first touch to it - this will indicate a fake.
Further, after unpacking the spare part, you need to find on it where it was produced. If neither one nor the other is indicated, then it is a fake.
And, perhaps, the most important detail when choosing a spare part is its cost. Before buying, we recommend that you find out in advance how much such a spare part costs in the country of the manufacturer, and make a comparison with the price that you are offered for it on the market, in a store or in a service station.
By following these recommendations, you minimize the chance of buying counterfeit parts.
