Saving Time By Using Quality Parts

March 12, 2021

Let’s be honest – there’s no single car made that doesn’t need to visit a Mechanic during its lifetime.


Present-day scenario when visiting your Certified Mechanic can lead to an eye-opening assessment of your car. How is it that they can give you this rundown of costly car services that are required, expanding the expense of your repairs considerably? As a conscientious saver, you might be tempted to go out and purchase the parts recommended to lessen the expected expense of your maintenance bill. Despite the fact that it may save you some out-of-pocket expenses, here are a few reasons we don’t believe this to be beneficial when you visit the repair shop.


To start, you lose the guarantee for the parts you purchased. When your mechanic, who is the specialist, sources the parts and installs those parts on your vehicle, they are using parts that they know are acceptable quality for your car. They know that if there is an issue with the part that they have sourced, they will be responsible for the replacement during the warranty period.  Along these lines, they are happy to back all guarantees and certifications of that item. They know that if that part fails, the trustworthy supplier they paid for will back the warranty. If the situation presents itself, they know that it will not be difficult to manage the warranty process. This brings about a more satisfying scenario for you.


If you decide to provide your own parts, the auto repair shop cannot be certain that they are quality parts, regardless of the brand. Why? They do not have the foggiest idea about the history of that part, regardless of whether it is an old or new part, or on the off chance that the part is broken or defective. A technician may refuse to use the parts since there is a possibility of the part failing and the concern of whether it was workmanship or a faulty part. We have to bring up the liability insurance companies and courts. Liability insurance companies will not cover a repair when the parts are not supplied by your mechanic. We won’t even go into the issue of getting a judge involved. Just know that they will tell the shop, “You are the professional and you should have known better.” All things considered, there is a reason why your mechanic is a professional. It is part of his job to verify that the correct parts are being used on your vehicle.


As the professional, the mechanic or auto repair shop can be held responsible for a part that they did not authorize. Even though they did not purchase the parts that you purchased yet consented to install the parts you provided, the specialist or shop can be legally responsible for the parts that you supplied. If for any reason the parts that you provide fail, they could be expected to take full responsibility for sourcing and installing the parts and cover the full cost of repairing the vehicle. It is possible that the parts you supply may not be the correct parts for the repair needed. In all reality, if you were completely sure that the parts were correct, wouldn’t you have done the repair yourself? That brings up the issue of having the proper tools to actually do the job. As a professional, the mechanic is equipped with the tools needed to repair and replace the parts on your car as designed by the manufacture. Believe me, the majority of these tools are extremely expensive.



What is your time worth? Finding and purchasing the correct part for your car can take a lot of time. It takes time on the computer researching, many phone calls, and possibly face-to-face or virtual conversations to be sure that the part is correct for your vehicle. You want to be sure that you are comparing apples to apples as opposed to apples to oranges. Instead of wasting your time and even your money (spent in gas) searching to save a couple of bucks, why not trust your Certified Mechanic and their abilities? Not only will you get your time back, but you will also have the peace of mind of the warranty provided.

So trust in your professional auto repair shop and mechanics abilities. Quality, your time, and your mental health are undeniably more important than cash!
