Non-dealer OEM Spare parts are good to use?

[zulfi 2]

Hi Guys, after long time. This place has changed quiet a lot since my last visit and I hope i am making post in right place.

Friend of mine advise me to get the original OEM spar parts from outside shops in Deira / Sharjah other than the dealer parts center. I called one of them and got good price and bought two non critical spare part.

 

My question, is if those guys are selling original or counterfeit spare parts as their price is about 40% lesser than the original Infiniti dealer price tag....?

I will not trust for critical parts and safety or engine related parts. Outside, cosmetic, music etc no prob if it's cheaper by 40% then try it for sure. It's good you try with non critical parts.

About OEM parts: Those spare part shops get parts from main dealer only and they sell in cheap as they get the volume discount from main dealer and they pass it on same discount to retail customers.

Beware: Those shops also sell fake parts so it's always good to ask them that you want original and not fake. They generally sell fake when someone request it specially no:2 or no:3 option, like many mechanics ask for such request.

Aftermarket parts also work fine as many are made in Japan and such...but sensors and actuators you won't get aftermarket ones....
