Volkswagen Parts: Getting the Real Deal
Summary
The counterfeit parts industry is a multibillion-dollar problem. Know what to look for before purchasing your Volkswagen parts or accessories.Body
The rise of counterfeit car parts is creating challenges for motorists, suppliers, manufacturers, and governments worldwide. Just how severe is the problem? The manufacturing and distribution of fake car parts is a multibillion-dollar industry. Whether you own a Kia or a Camaro, a Geo or a Golf, every vehicle is at risk of being equipped with counterfeit parts. However, you can avoid being deceived by these bogus parts with a few careful steps.1. Examine the Labels
Counterfeiters have become skilled at replicating logos and information on packaging. Look for typographical errors or awkward language on the boxes. Many counterfeiters may excel at producing fake goods, but they often fall short in their use of proper English, grammar, and spelling. For instance, a misspelled brand name like "Monrow" instead of "Monroe" is a red flag. Also, be cautious if the packaging is oddly sized compared to the product it holds.2. Inspect the Part
If a part's texture feels off, it might be counterfeit. Take, for example, a Hella headlight?"if the element inside looks cheaply made or broken, or if the casing uses excessive plastic, it could be a fake.3. Choose Reputable Suppliers
While buying from a reputable supplier doesn't guarantee authenticity, it reduces your risk. Reliable suppliers often offer guarantees, ensuring you won't be left with a counterfeit part they accidentally passed along.4. Opt for OEM or Better
Purchase parts that meet or exceed original manufacturer standards. If you find prices 70, 80, or 90% lower than retail, consider it a warning sign. Stick with trusted names like Bosch, Covercraft, Denso, Flowmaster, Injen, and K&N. Avoid generic or no-name brands.If you suspect you've purchased counterfeit parts, notify local authorities and the supplier. If bought overseas, refunds are unlikely. When shopping online, choose retailers with a proven track record who can be reached via a toll-free number. While counterfeit parts might save you money upfront, they can result in costly, and even dangerous, issues in the long run.
