Rating of the best auto parts firms in 2020

The reputation of brands specializing in aftermarket parts is determined solely by the quality of their products. If a car enthusiast makes a choice in favor of a non-original spare part, it means that he wants to save money, but at the same time get at least mediocre quality from the product. A copy of a part from a little-known manufacturer costs several times less than the original, so the demand for such goods never fades away. The average statistic is in line with the following numbers: Out of 100 car owners, 90 prefer to use replica brands when it comes to parts.

Replica market

The widest selection of different replicas is presented on the auto market. In modern realities, there are even network portals where the user can remotely select the part of interest to him, order it and wait for the postal service to deliver the parcel. The interest in replica brands of auto parts is high, and during their existence, famous names have arisen in this niche. Car enthusiasts from all over the world trust these names, as they have worked on a reputation for years, producing only quality parts. Along with the well-known names, there are also little-known ones that either have not yet managed to gain popularity, or, by injustice, remain in the shadows, although they produce high-quality parts. It is not uncommon for a little-known manufacturer to offer high quality parts at a low price, just because his name has no reputation in the market.

Noteworthy names will be listed below, some of which are little known, but they offer high quality at low prices. Some brands are known for a certain category of goods, but few people know that the same manufacturer produces other parts as well.

German market

When it comes to cars, Germans tend to outnumber others by orders of magnitude. Since the formation of the global automotive industry, Germany has occupied a leading position in the market for cars and spare parts for them. Replicas from German manufacturers are not much inferior to their original progenitors, so most car owners prefer goods from Germany.

In addition, the owners of German cars, especially old ones, are faced with the problem of the high cost of consumables. For example, an old Volkswagen requires parts of a certain standard, usually only the factory one. In such a case, the owner of the cars will face the fact that the production of factory consumables for his model has long been discontinued or they are so expensive that it is simply unprofitable to purchase them for an old car. In this case, it is better to contact the replica manufacturers.

Manufacturer SWAG

Spare parts are straight from Germany, which means the quality is beyond doubt. In addition, the company was founded in the 50s of the last century, and since the beginning of this century it has become one of the largest German concerns.Such age and status indicate that the company is doing its job perfectly well, because keeping the trust of consumers for more than 50 years in a row is definitely a quality mark.

Feedback:

“I have been using Swag parts for years and I can vouch for their quality. I have an Old Mercedes and buying parts of the original order for it is simply not cost-effective, so I have to choose from replicas. Previously, I used those parts that are sold on the market and do not have a specific name and the results were appropriate. A few years ago, an acquaintance advised me to pay attention to Swag. I have converted and am now satisfied. Only this brand guarantees quality over a long distance, although there are replicas and cheaper ones, but the service life of their products is much shorter. I definitely recommend the SVEG brand! ”

Brand Meyle

Another guest from Germany who has already earned a reputation as a high quality manufacturer. Unlike the previous name, the Meyle brand is aimed at a more budgetary segment of the market, which it fully covers, since the production of products in the PRC allows this.

I recommend Vierol to anyone who owns an old German car industry and is looking for quality parts! ”

Japanese market

Historically, in the land of the rising sun, the topic of the car industry is very popular, which means that the production of cars and related products is treated there with high responsibility, characteristic of the Japanese mentality. It is unlikely that the Japanese auto industry needs an introduction, because everyone knows that Mazda or Toyota are cars of high reliability and quality.

For the consumer of Japanese products from Russia, a number of advantages open up due to geopolitical reasons.

Qsten brand

This name is widely known in Japan and has a reputation as a reliable manufacturer. The company is divided into 2 departments (import and export). The export department is focused on countries where Japanese cars are in great demand (Russia is one of them) and supplies spare parts corresponding to the country's specific standards. The company does not have a rich history, it is creating it at the moment and is already ready to boast of a number of significant successes in the market.

The company's success is due to its approach to the manufacture of car suspensions. Qsten's standards are high, which is why their suspensions are of the highest quality. In addition to essential elements, the company also produces small-caliber parts, such as stabilizer struts or handlebar tips.

In addition to parts of non-original assembly, the company is also engaged in official production for Japanese and American brands.

In addition, the company provides all consumables accompanying SDCs for the buyer's choice. Although HDK parts are essentially replicas, manufacturing quality standards are as high as those of the original parts, so the buyer can be calm about the durability of the purchased part.

Since the production technologies for replica parts from HDK are largely identical to official productions, then in terms of operation and installation, the motorist can be guided by official instructions.Not so long ago, the company launched a line of economy spare parts, which are marked with a red marker on the packaging (as opposed to the standard blue). The company is well-known, which is why many basement manufacturers give their products the name HDK.

It is recommended to verify the authenticity of the spare part before purchasing.

It is not uncommon for you to come across details of unknown origin, but they differ in a less aesthetic form and engraving on the case - this immediately catches your eye. Would recommend to anyone looking for good SDCs! ”

Maruichi brand

The name Maruichi 1-56 is more common on the market, since the company is part of a major concern and similar names are legal costs. In the homeland, the company is unconditionally popular and is considered number 1 among manufacturers of accessories for car interiors.
