The prices of some imported and domestically produced car parts in the current automotive market also vary greatly. An industry insider revealed that although the quality and performance of domestic parts produced by some regular manufacturers are not much different from those of imported parts, the market price is usually about twice that of small parts, such as piston rings and valve oil seals, whether imported or domestic, the product surface is not printed with trademarks, and it is almost identical after removing the packaging, which is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish with the naked eye.
He suggests that when consumers need to replace parts due to car malfunctions, such as clutch parts and brake system parts, they should simply choose domestic products, which can be much cheaper. If you want to use imported spare parts, don't blindly listen to the maintenance provider's introduction. It is best to inspect the original spare parts provided one by one before repairing. If you find that the packaging is damaged or there are obvious problems, such as blurry printing or foreign language errors, you can request them to be replaced. Consumers with conditions can also ask relevant professionals to inspect and confirm that it is consistent with the maintenance provider's statement before agreeing to repair. At the same time, promptly request a specific list, price, and invoice of the spare parts required for maintenance from the 4S store. If problems arise in the future, they can be used as evidence. Such things cannot be taken lightly. Money loss is a small matter, and if it creates a safety hazard, it is really not worth it.
