Any vehicle part not sourced

from the cars maker is called an

aftermarket part. Used as direct

replacement parts, aftermarket car

parts (or after market auto parts)

do not void a cars warranty unless

stated otherwise.

Many companies produce car

parts that are designed to function

as well, if not better, than the cars

original manufactured parts. There

are a number of advantages and

disadvantages of using aftermarket

car parts in the Negara Brunei

Darussalam.

(1) Cost: Generally aftermarket car

parts are not as expensive as original

parts. The amount of money that can

be saved will vary between brands and

it's a good idea to shop around.

Knowing how much a car part typically

costs is important. If the cost of a part

seems unusually low then its quality

may be questionable.

(2) Variety: Aftermarket parts are

made by numerous companies so

there is a lot of choice and this

helps to keep prices competitive.

Some companies only specialize

in one or two car parts, whilst

others will produce almost any

part possible.

(3) Accessibility: Unlike original parts,

aftermarket auto parts can be easily

sourced from the local mechanic, gas

station or auto parts store (e.g. Golden

Wheels Company). There is no need to

wait for lengthy shipping delays whilst

waiting for original parts. Also, this

provides more flexibility in choosing

where to service a vehicle.

(4) Quality: The quality of after

parts can be just as good as

the original manufactured part.

In some case the parts can

even be better because after

part companies can improve

designs.

(1) Huge Selection: The

overwhelming choice of

aftermarket car parts can be

daunting, especially if the buyer is

unfamiliar with the different

brands. This can lead to poor

choices.

Even simple parts such as a

spark plug, can be produced by

numerous companies and come in

many variations. It's a good idea

to consult a mechanic when

uncertain of what to select.

(2) Variable Quality: In association

so many aftermarket brands

comes inconsistent quality. Some

parts are inferior and made with

poor quality materials.

Try to select brands that are

recommended by mechanics, even

if they are slightly more

expensive. In most cases you get

what you pay for, so higher priced

parts are generally better quality.

Deciding to use or not to use

aftermarket car parts can be

difficult. If you're someone that

works on your own car and you're

familiar with the different brands

available, then it is possible to

save a lot of money using

aftermarket parts.

Alternatively, if you're

uncomfortable selecting aftermarket

car parts and don't have a mechanic

you can ask for advice, then it may

be best to stick with the original

manufacturers parts. In this case all

works would need to be done at a

auto dealership in Brunei

Darussalam and it will cost extra for

the peace of mind.
