Where to buy original spare parts for cars

What you need to know to decide on the choice of store to buy original spare parts

In Ukraine, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of both online and offline platforms where you can buy original spare parts for your car. In this regard, the question arises: where is the best, most reliable and reasonable way to turn? Let’s look at the main criteria that will help you choose your seller.

Authenticity

Original ingredients are often counterfeited because of their higher price. In this context, it is very important to choose a reliable store without dubious suppliers.

When answering a question about where to buy original spare parts for a car, it is recommended to focus on the following criteria when choosing a seller:

● A company with a history – it is advisable to choose a trusted seller with a biography and a developed network of suppliers, and not a company that appeared “just yesterday”.
● The company has its own website with a catalog. An indicator of the seller’s main approach to the business in which he operates.
● Reviews. The better reviews – on the Internet, from relatives, friends, acquaintances, the higher the level of peace of mind.
● Specialization in OE spare parts. Companies dedicated to selling the “original” often have suppliers whose reliability has been proven over the years. And in some cases, they themselves deliver the products directly from the factories.

All in one place

Ordering a spare part in one store and another in another is not very convenient. This is both a waste of money and time. Obviously, in this case, it is better to give preference to the seller, where you can collect the entire necessary “package” at once. So it is important to pay attention to the size of the company’s product range.

Price

Here you have to follow the rules of the golden mean. Obviously, it is not worth going for the lowest price – in this case, the risk of buying a fake increases. On the other hand, some sellers may aim to set a “too high”, unfair price.

It is best, when the question arises where to order original spare parts, to give preference to a seller whose price is slightly below the “top of the market”. This rule came to us from the used car market, where it showed its effectiveness.

It is also worth adding here that large distributors often offer consolidated discounts. The longer you are a customer and the more often you buy, the lower the cost of your next purchases.

Guarantee

You should always pay attention to the availability of a warranty on spare parts. For some companies, this may be significantly limited or absent at all – this is often done for the sake of a more honest price. Yes, you can save money when buying, but what to do when the spare part does not fit or is defective?

Location

There are situations when, after placing an order, it turns out that you have to go to the other end of the city to get a spare part or wait several days for delivery. The result is loss of time, vehicle downtime… How to protect yourself? Ideally, choose a company with a representative network in many cities and a developed delivery service. In this case, you will have a choice between pickup from a convenient pick-up point and timely delivery, which the company carries out thanks to its own, independent fleet of vehicles.

Qualified consultation

Finally, it is important to note such a standard as the attitude of company representatives. Agree, it is not very pleasant when you, as a client, receive some kind of vague answer with the feeling that they want to get rid of you as soon as possible. It’s another thing when they tell you about the product features and offer you the best option for purchasing, placing and delivering your order.

Often, by the way, it is this criterion that is often decided when buying spare parts. However, it is important to also meet the above criteria. Only in this case you can count on a quick purchase of truly original spare parts and at the same time enjoy the service provided.
