How to define defective auto parts on the market

The time comes when the motorist has to change one or another item on his car. If the machine is still a warranty, then the parts can be changed on a specialized service for free. And if the warranty period was already released or breakdown is not a warranty case, then a new spare part needs to be bought. How to determine and not buy a defective spare part, especially if the motorist decided to do it in the market?

Do not buy spare parts from the hands of the uncle, who settled his goods right on Earth, assuring you at the same time that he has original parts. Most likely, he just decided to work out and got spare parts on the so-called "disassembly" - a place where the old cars disassemble for the details. All car markets have specialized pavilions where one or another spare part can be purchased. To buy a poor-quality part here is also possible, so be sure to pay attention to the following nuances.

Any spare part must be packed in the original packaging, and the seller must have a quality certificate for the entire batch.

Please note whether you need the parts of the scuffs, chips or traces of rust. Some unscrupulous sellers can insert a spare part in the original packaging that has already been in use. Carefully look, if there are no fresh traces of paint on the product, which do not match the tone with the main color. It is possible that the details defects thus were painted.

If you have chosen, in your opinion, a high-quality spare part suitable for your car, demand a cash register or commercial check. If the seller refuses to give you this document, most likely, the goods have a fake. Such spare parts, even if they are packed in the "original" packaging and do not have external defects, it is better not to buy.

If you still decided to save and not buy spare parts from the official dealer, buy only those details on the market that do not directly affect the safety of your car. It can be "wipers", a side mirror or, for example, pads on the pedal. The same spare parts on which driving safety depends (parts of the brake system and steering), buy only in specialized centers.
