Are Used Parts Good For Car Repair?

Whether you have a new car or an old car, one thing is certain; repairs will be necessary at one point or another. Your car may need minor repairs or major ones but regardless of the situation, it is always recommended that you use new and original equipment parts directly from the manufacturer to repair your car.

Used parts are always available, although you should only get them at a trusted shop like Alberta Drive-Line Rebuilders and here are the reasons why:

The quality of used parts can be inconsistent

While used parts are cheaper, you cannot always rely on their quality. However, if you visit Alberta Drive-Line Rebuilders, this won’t be problematic because our used parts are tested to ensure they stand the test of time. If you are in the market for original parts, come to us as well, as we will provide you with peace of mind because you’ll always have guaranteed quality.

You may end up with salvaged parts

Believe it or not, some auto shops reclaim components from other cars that are in salvage yards, meaning you could end up with a part that was involved in a serious car crash. The last thing you want is to end up with an inferior replacement part because this can put you at risk when driving your car. All of the used parts we offer at Alberta Drive-Line Rebuilders are guaranteed to be in great working condition.

Used parts generally do not have a warranty

It is rare for aftermarket parts to come with a warranty, meaning if they fail, there is nothing you can do about it. You’ll only end up with a bigger problem and more expenses, which would not be the case with new or original parts that include a manufacturer’s warranty as well as a labour warranty. Getting the right part the first time will prevent problems and you’ll be able to replace them if something goes wrong.

Original parts from the manufacturer are always new

This is because they are sourced directly from the manufacturer and not from used cars, junkyards or third party suppliers, which is generally the case with used parts. It can sometimes take longer for original parts to arrive to your mechanic; however, it’s definitely worth the wait because you’ll have new parts that are high-quality, which guarantees exceptional performance.

The safety of your vehicle must be a priority, which is why we recommend using original parts for your vehicle, but we also offer certain high-quality used parts that will get the job done right.
