What is the difference between imitation parts and parts made by the manufacturer ofmy vehicle?
The parts made by the manufacturer of your vehicle are built to the same specifications as those on your vehicle when it was built. Genuine Parts are made with factory-specified steels and to factory-specified thickness to provide the best durability possible. Imitation parts are often not made specifically for your vehicle. This may make it necessary for technicians to alter or otherwise maneuver the part to make it fit. The end result may be diminished satisfaction and value, and it may jeopardize your warranty protection.
