Product Quality
- New parts are brand new and have never been used or installed on another vehicle.
- Used parts have been used and installed previously on another vehicle.
During the removal process all parts are carefully inspected and any parts that are in questionable or poor condition are discarded.
- Genuine parts are parts which are supplied by the manufacturer of the vehicle and will generally come branded or packaged. They are usually more expensive.
- Aftermarket parts are parts that have not been manufactured or sourced directly by the original manufacturer of the vehicle. They are usually cheaper, and in some cases, quality is equal or better than OEM.
Non-genuine parts are safe to use in your vehicle. Legally we could not sell parts that were unsafe, and we would not want to put our customers in any form of possible risk. Some people believe that aftermarket parts are of inferior quality, and this can sometimes be true, but we attempt to only work with high quality suppliers and offer a warranty on all parts sold.
If you have selected the correct part for your vehicle, then regardless of being new genuine or non-genuine it will suit your application.
