Here are the most common misconceptions about spare parts

This is facing every driver who buys the details to the car. They live over the years and go like urban legends.

However, they do not even fit true. Here are the three most common erroneous opinions:

- All spare parts are the same.
- The price is the most important.
- Famous brands are always better.

Of course, the use of only old spare parts purchased on the challenges may seriously interfere with your car. Such details already have a certain degree of wear. They will serve less than new ones. But with new spare parts not all unambiguously. Now we can refute the most popular errors.

Spare parts from different manufacturers are no different

Even if the item looks like an original, weighs as the original, and even comes to your car, does not mean that it is equivalent to the original. The company engaged in its production can save on materials. Use cheaper alloys and plastics to reduce the price.

The combination of materials may be incorrect. Details subjected to friction can be faster. And such wear is even one detail can lead to a breakdown of the entire aggregate.

Yes, most automakers themselves do not produce details. They only collect cars from parts derived from third-party suppliers. But not all suppliers are the same. Someone produces more durable details. And someone may not even know the correct combination of materials originally conceived by the creator of spare parts.

The more expensive, the better

Not always expensive details are better cheap. The price, in most cases, does not reflect the quality. First, because it includes not only the cost of production. But also delivery, customs clearance, storage and trade markup.

Let's say, the same bearing brand in Poland and China costs $ 20. But bring it from the PRC, to customs and sell it will cost another $ 8. And the seller will add their $ 5 on the price tag. As a result, we get the retail cost of $ 33. And the Polish spare part was brought for $ 2 and the seller added to the price of the same $ 5 of their earnings. The price of a showcase from the Polish detail turned out $ 27. Almost 20% cheaper than Chinese.

Please note here we did not talk about the quality of the spare parts. Perhaps the bearings did not differ at all about this indicator. But this is not reflected at their cost for the end user.

It is even worse things with rare spare parts with a long time lying in a warehouse from the supplier. Just because no one ordered them. They can be purchased in those days when the dollar rate towards the hryvnia was very different from today. Such details can cost much more expensive or cheaper. But their cost does not talk about anything.

Brand as a sign of quality

When we buy well-known brands, we usually pay more and automatically assume that they are higher. However, this is not always the case. There are less well-known companies that produce alternative details of the same quality standard, but at a much lower price. In addition, brand spare parts are supplied, as a rule, in expensive packaging. That is, you pay also for her.
