Spare parts from car dismantling have long been part of the everyday life of motorists. Someone not complex, and takes “fed up”. And for some, this is taboo – a spare part removed from a used car, like a lottery, can work for a long time, or it can fall apart in a matter of days. And yet there are parts that can be fitted from a used car without fear of consequences. And it will be much more reliable than replacing it with a new, non-original one.
When there is a shortage of spare parts in the country and prices rise, the domestic motorist does not panic, but looks for ways to get around it. And one of the solutions to the problem is automatic disassembly. Parts of broken or broken cars diverge, as they say, with a bang. However, if this is the norm for some, and they aren’t afraid to buy “second-hand” spare parts, others are frowning in disgust, guided by the old driver’s rule not to put anything on their car with a bat. Others simply faced the fact that the part removed from the donor was failing quickly. And they would rather supply a non-original spare part than take a cheaper “used” original. In short, everyone has their own reasons.
And yet there are used auto parts that you can put on your car without fear of them breaking down. And it will be much better than the new non-original one.
For example, you can save a lot on wheels. Of course, it is much safer to take the “used” originals, after a detailed inspection and verification, than buying a glossy non-original from a Chinese manufacturer. Outwardly, the new wheels can and will look nicer, but unfortunately this does not last long. Chrome will peel off after the first season of use and soft metal, if it doesn’t fall apart on potholes, is sure to warp. In addition, without the possibility to return the form.
“Used” original rims can and do have some cosmetic flaws, but if they are not bent and not repaired then there will certainly be no doubt about the reliability. And they will serve the new owner for a few more years. And yes, you can save a lot of money.
You can also save a lot on headlights and taillights if you buy them from a donor. In this situation, the non-original can differ significantly in the quality of the plastic and the filling for the worse. But most importantly, the mounting system will almost certainly be different and you’ll need to figure out something to fit the part into its seat. And according to the characteristics, the new “firm” will be inferior to the “used” factory-installed headlights.
The windshield is also better to remove from a used car. Of course, if there are no visible styles on it. Non-genuine glasses suffer from poor workmanship. Easily scratched, chipped or a bumpy surface. And their thickness often differs from the thickness of the original glass. And this is directly related to the resistance to tearing.
If your car has hit a door, fender or bumper, buying the same part in your car’s color will save a lot on painting. Non-genuine parts, on the other hand, have attachment issues, are thinner, and may generally be of lower quality than the original. And how can the factory paint of the original part compare to the paint that will be applied in the technical center, even if the technologies are taken into account? Unfortunately not.
Brake calipers can also get “tired”. Chinese counterparts, unfortunately, do not differ in reliability and quality. But if the original parts are removed from a not very driven car, then there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Of course, they should also be checked for defects, damage and performance.
In general, if something in your car needs to be replaced, it’s better to look at branded components, albeit with mileage. Especially when it comes to parts that are not so important for the car and passengers. This will help to save a lot of money, the rest can be spent on something else.
