How to Identify Genuine Auto Parts?
2 Answers
Packaging fonts are clear but not entirely printed; the font and printing method for compatible vehicle models and production date information differ from other fonts. The packaging colors are vibrant and natural. The qualified impression on the label is printed with ink rather than digitally printed. The part itself has clear font printing, with neat edges on molded fonts, consistent depth, and no burrs.
Last time my friend replaced a part, he specifically researched the methods to identify genuine OEM parts. First, look at the packaging box—genuine parts have clear printing, brand logos, and part numbers, with neat seals. Flip the packaging to find manufacturer details, production dates, and other specifics; legitimate manufacturers provide complete labeling. Then, feel the material—OEM parts have fine surface finishes and solid weight. It's best to scan the QR code with your phone to check authenticity, as many manufacturers' official websites offer verification. Additionally, carefully compare the old part removed from the car to see if the structure, color, and engraved fonts match. I recommend buying parts from official 4S stores or authorized repair shops—though more expensive, you won’t get counterfeit parts that could affect your car’s performance.
