Are the rearview mirrors replaced at 4S stores original?

They are generally original rearview mirrors. Below is some information about rearview mirrors: 1. Introduction: A rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. 2. Function: For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. 3. Mirror surface shape: It can be divided into three main series: flat mirrors, spherical mirrors, and double-curvature mirrors. There is also another type called a prism mirror, which has a flat mirror surface but a prism-shaped cross-section, usually used as an anti-glare interior rearview mirror.
Last time my car's rearview mirror broke, I rushed to the 4S store to get a replacement, and they installed an original factory rearview mirror for me. Why is it called original? Because 4S stores are manufacturer-authorized dealerships, they source parts directly from the car brand's suppliers, ensuring the parts are genuine. I compared the packaging, which had the brand logo and part number, identical to the one when I bought the car. Installing it this way not only looks good but also ensures compatibility, avoiding issues like warning lights or looseness. Additionally, 4S store services include a warranty—if there's a problem with the rearview mirror, they replace it for free, which is much more worry-free. Of course, the price is higher, but it's worth it for safety. I recommend friends prioritize 4S stores for part replacements to avoid problems with aftermarket parts bought online. In short, parts replaced at 4S stores are guaranteed to be original factory components.
As an ordinary car owner, I've been through several repairs. That time when the rearview mirror broke, I went to the 4S shop, and the technician immediately took out an original rearview mirror and replaced it on the spot. The 4S shop has a direct contract with the manufacturer, and the spare parts inventory is all genuine products sourced from the brand. You see, original parts have more stable quality, fit perfectly after installation, and even the wipers won't get stuck. On the contrary, if you go to a roadside shop, they might use cheap aftermarket parts that are prone to fogging or deformation. I've checked online, original parts have unique codes that can trace their source. The 4S shop also provides installation warranty, offering free repairs if anything goes wrong. Don't just look at the price, safety comes first. My experience is to choose the 4S shop, and the rearview mirror must be original.
