How to Straight Away Cut Down your Auto Parts Cost?
Talking about cars, transmission, catalytic convertor, engine alternator
are some of the expensive parts of the car to replace and hence silently
increases the auto parts repair cost to a significant amount.
So, one of the great ways to reduce the hidden cost is by relying on the aftermarket car parts manufactured by third-party manufacturers and are brand new – not used. Plus, aftermarket car parts or replacement parts are a great alternative to pocket burning OEM parts and save you money.
Pros of using aftermarket car parts:
1. Cost
The aftermarket car parts are 60% cheaper than the OEM parts. Also, the car parts make up more than half of the car's body, which means you're saving on the entire car's cost, hence double saving.
2. Quality
A common myth is that aftermarket car parts manufacturers don't promise
quality stuff. Still, in reality, the manufacturer will not compromise on the
part's quality because it is life-threatening. Thus, they are as good as the
original parts but affordable. Also, the OEM parts are just subconscious
satisfaction when talking about quality.
If you're still uncertain, then you do a quality check on the
aftermarket auto parts in the following ways:
- Ask
for a second opinion
- Read
reviews online
- Go
window shopping in the producer's shop and confirm the quality.
- Ask your mechanic
3. Collections
The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) will lead the manufacture of
two varieties of any item, say tyres, so you have to select from the two
options.
However, if you go to an aftermarket parts producer, you will have at least five varieties to choose the tyres, meaning unlimited choices. Also, the more options to choose from and the lesser price, one of the biggest reasons the OEM parts are more costly.
4. Resale value
Most people think they maintain the car's original value by using OEM
parts each time. Every year, the car's value is depreciated by 25% and even
more if it's a luxury vehicle.
Thus, relying on aftermarket car parts is an intelligent decision,
saving yourself from not burning the pockets.
