Too many people underestimate the value and importance of parts warranty.<\/p>\n

Some people nowadays are importing parts from overseas themselves. The problem is that you don’t know what the quality is like.<\/p>\n

Countless companies who sell on web sites like eBay claim they sell original equipment manufactured (OEM) parts, only to find out that the quality is not OEM.

The parts from many of these internet companies are not OEM and the quality is appalling and in some cases unsafe.<\/p>\n
