QUALITY
Question no. 01:
Is the quality of the aftermarket parts inferior to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts?
The Short answer is “No”. Let me explain: The aftermarket parts industry is a thriving global industry with factories across Europe, the USA and Asia. They offer parts that have the exact technical specification, and the same high quality manufacturing and control standards as the OEMs. In most cases the ISO90001 certification is standard practice for the aftermarket manufacturers.
AVAILABILITY
Question no. 02:
Are aftermarket parts more readily available than OEM parts?
Yes indeed – aftermarket parts are more readily available that OEM parts. Thanks to the open market, the internet, and the aftermarket manufacturers making it their business to carry stock of the high turnaround parts. They also circumvent unnecessary bureaucracy like centralised parts distribution centres which may cause a delay on the availability of the OEM parts.
PRICE
Question no. 03:
Why are aftermarket parts so much cheaper?
Aftermarket parts do not have to carry the product development costs or the marketing costs incurred by Original Equipment Manufacturers. This can therefor bring down the cost down by up to 50% without compromising on the manufacturing process, technology or quality of the product.
COMPATIBILITY
Question no. 04:
Are aftermarket parts the right fit for my heavy duty off-highway vehicle?
Hindsight is often 20/20 – and in the case of aftermarket parts manufacturing – it is a highly beneficial to you as the end user – because it offers an opportunity to improve the wear part or the OEM part that keeps breaking. As a result the small changes in the design can improve operation and durability.
