What You Need to Know Before Bringing Your Own Parts To A Mechanic When your car needs something replaced or fixed, bringing the parts yourself might seem like a way to save some money (assuming you know what you’re doing) — but besides all that went into picking how those repairs were done in the first place, numerous factors at play could certainly impact more than just cost. To do this we start with breaking down the components.
Outside Parts — Mechanic Policies
Acceptance Variation: Some mechanics will not permit you to bring in your own part. A few might say “no” outright and others will take them, but at a higher labor rate. That inconsistency can be a source of confusion and annoyance for vehicle owners.
Liabilities: If you give the parts and they do not work so well, then potential liabilities could follow. That consists of additional costs or complexity that can occur when work with unintentional parts occurs.
Cost Considerations
: Just because cheap parts are used and they will likely save is one thing, but when you add in the cost of labour that can go up with fitting these cheaper parts correctly ( weld on exhaust components seem to be a major issue ) then this “potential saving” has soon become less so. garage association with suppliers to get better rates on good quality parts.
Warranty Benefits: Most professional repairs come with warranties — like the NAPA Peace of Mind Warranty, which protects parts and labor for 36 months/36,000 miles. This warranty is extra peace-of-mind that will ensure you’re not left holding the bag124 if something happens.
Professional Expertise
Quality Control: When you let mechanics source parts and labor through them you can be sure they are using appropriate components for your car in order to minimize the risk of fault. They install them professionally to prevent them from becoming more complex.
Peace of Mind — Most importantly, outsourcing the repairs to a professional can give you peace of mind that your vehicle is being serviced properly and this in itself makes it worth it for driving safety.
Bringing your own parts may sound like a cost effective way to replace auto components in the beginning, but more often than not; it will end up costing you and is much riskier. Using professional service not only assures you of quality, but will also give warranties protecting your investment.
