Subject: RE: After market parts
1. OEM replacement crash parts are not made by the OE company, they are mostly made overseas by many of the same companies that make aftermarket parts.
2. Most insurance companies use CAPA certified parts. Certifed to be as good or better than OEM.
3. Ask your mechanic on how often an OEM part is damaged, doesn't fit and is of inferior quality. Oh well....it is OEM.
4. Check to see how many aftermarket parts you have on your new car when you drive it home....Batteries, wipers, mufflers, tires, etc. All of which mean alot more to my safety than a fender.
5. Ever track auto recalls? It is frightening how many recalls there are every year on safety related parts by the big car companies. OEM is better?
Keep in mind most of these parts are just to make your car look better, not to save your rear in an accident. And using all OEM simply lines the pockets of the big auto makers.
