Auto Spares
Auto spares have become a lot more expensive that they used to be. Car manufacturers design many spares to be specific to their vehicles and one may often not be able to obtain generic equivalents at lower prices elsewhere. Looking4Spares can help you find auto spares for your car.
South Africans have tended to lose touch with the actual prices of auto spares. Unlike many other countries, local buyers are discerning and demanding and as such, many cars are sold with service or maintenance plans as standard. In the case of a service plan, a car’s services are prepaid for a set number of kilometres or years in advance, whichever comes first. A maintenance plan not only covers services, but also wear and tear maintenance items such as brake pads and clutches. This means that many people never actually pay for parts themselves while under the coverage of these plans, and they subsequently have little idea what auto spares cost.
Current economic conditions are tough and an increasing number of people keep their cars for longer, often beyond the coverage of service and maintenance plans, which means that they are responsible for the account when the car is serviced or a part wears out or fails. The franchised agents may sometimes be extremely expensive and the consumer may simply not have the cash to pay for expensive parts. In addition, most imported cars’ parts are also imported, making them vulnerable to the exchange rate and affecting supply turnaround times.
