Many car owners, when repairs are needed, are forced to purchase auto parts in specialized stores and markets. Spare parts for the car should be in the "golden mean" when considering the combination of their quality and price. But how to make a purchase of suitable parts for a car, so as not to be disappointed later?
Instructions
Step 1
To buy good auto parts, choose high quality and heavy duty parts from the manufacturer by checking the factory markings on the parts you need. Such spare parts are the most expensive parts on the market, but their purchase meets the most safety requirements, since the original parts and assemblies are no different from the elements of your machine installed at the factory. Take a close look at the factory mark, since most car manufacturers use the services of only one company, with which they enter into a contract for the production of certain spare parts for cars of specific models.
Step 2
If you want to save a little, look for auto parts of the second group of the price segment, which are supplied for sale not from the automaker itself, but directly from the parts manufacturer. When checking the authenticity of such spare parts for your car, look at the branding and markings. And in this case, the details should not indicate the name of the brand of the car or the auto concern, but the name of the enterprise specializing in the production of such auto parts.
Step 3
When you want to buy spare parts on the market at the lowest possible prices, think about the reliability and safety of such parts. As a rule, the third group of the price segment includes third-party auto parts that are not in any way connected with the official dealers of the auto concern and factories that cooperate with car manufacturers under existing contracts. Find out who makes the parts and if the seller provides any guarantees for them, and when you go to market, bring an old part with you so you can compare it with a new part.
Step 4
When buying spare parts for cars from third-party manufacturers, be extremely careful, because even after testing, new parts may slightly differ in size from the original factory parts. If, because of the attractive price, you nevertheless decide to purchase such spare parts, be sure to check the quality certificate with the seller and check the manufacturer's name indicated in it with the marking on the item being purchased. In the event that you observe the slightest discrepancy, refuse to make a purchase that is obviously unsafe for you. But even the purchase of spare parts with the logo of a well-known supplier in the bazaar does not guarantee their proper quality, since counterfeit products are often found on the markets.
