Are the parts replaced at 4S stores the same as the original ones?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, they are the same, but some 4S stores may engage in substituting inferior parts for genuine ones, using aftermarket parts instead of original ones. Here is supplementary information about automotive parts: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts: OEM parts are those produced by the automobile manufacturer itself or authorized professional parts manufacturers. Genuine OEM automotive parts are perfectly crafted, essentially matching the quality of the original components with no minor defects, and their appearance and performance are consistent with the original parts. They come with professional certification and are marked with the OEM's logo and part number. These parts are specifically provided by the automobile manufacturer for after-sales service. Genuine parts: Genuine parts are produced by qualified manufacturers and fall under the category of aftermarket parts. However, the difference lies in that genuine parts bear the manufacturer's name, brand, and production certification, and are supplied through official channels. These manufacturers are included in the procurement list of automobile manufacturers, ensuring quality and after-sales service. In terms of craftsmanship and appearance, they are second only to OEM parts.
