The advantages of working with OEM parts over aftermarket products are well known by most within the auto parts field. However, despite the inherent performance advantages offered by working with OEM parts, it’s still imperative for auto parts buyers to secure their investment in OEM manufacturing by purchasing a parts warranty. Within this blog, we’ll provide a quick guide on selecting warranties for OEM parts.
Extended Warranties Required for Costly Recycled Auto Parts
When purchasing more expensive OEM parts, the buyer might consider working with their parts supplier on extended warranty options. While OEM parts assure seamless integration, extended warranty options provide the buyer with a long period of time to review the parts performance and condition. The upper limit on most recycled auto parts warranties will be a year. This should be enough time to protect the buyer against issues related to parts damage or degradation.
Ensure Parts and Labour Coverage
When selecting auto warranties for OEM parts, it’s important to seek out those warranties that offer coverage for both labour and parts. Many buyers have found themselves having to spend additional money on the labour for their parts repair or replacement work, even when they had believed they had a watertight warranty in place. Only warranties that offer full labour and parts coverage should be considered acceptable for those high price recycled OEM auto parts.
Review Full Terms Carefully
When reviewing warranties on parts with moving components, such as engines, it’s imperative to review the full terms of the warranty contract carefully before signing. When purchasing used OEM parts, the conditions within the warranty might add value or devalue the overall purchase price. Therefore, buyers must take full control over the transaction and review each element of the warranty carefully to see what they receive for their parts investment.
The crucial element in purchasing any OEM parts warranty is the selling company. Reputable firms will outline all terms in full during the sales process. But proactive buyers must take the initiative and ask questions about all elements of the contract before they make the decision to purchase any OEM part.
