The knock off auto part may look like the original and might fit on your vehicle but don't confuse fit with function
. How can you tell if it is going to perform like the original? Can you look at the ingredients on the side of the box and compare it to the national brand? The answer is simply NO!
For driving safety you really need to Know Your Parts! The best way to ensure quality and safety is by insisting on products from full-service suppliers with the trusted name brands who stand behind every part they make. These companies have invested countless dollars in research and development to build a brand reputation based on quality. With cheap off-brand products the actual manufacturer of the product is an ocean away and not subject to U.S. laws in most cases.
An educated parts store employee or auto technician can help you choose a quality branded auto part to insure the safe operation of your vehicle. It is also wise to do your own research on the Internet. Whether you do-it-yourself or take your car to a repair professional always Know Your Parts. Never authorize a repair unless you know what parts are being installed.
Remember, this is no can of beans; it is a critical component on your car which is not only your second largest investment, but an important element in your vehicle's safe operation.
Today's fast-paced, ever-changing business environment places tremendous demands on collision repair shop owners and managers striving to remain competitive and profitable.
