oem parts....
been thinking about this some more, and it kinda got me going a little.
Honda really takes us to the cleaners on parts from the dealerships. We have to remember that we are after OEM Quality, not just OEM. I work in the automotive manufacturing industry. We order parts from the OEM suppliers such as MGM Brakes, CE Niehoff for alternators, and Nippon Denso for alternators and starters. Countless others that are undoubtedly used across the industry, regardless of whether a vehicle is made by Honda or by Chrysler. By the way, we operate a 'service parts' division. By far it is the MOST profitable division in our company, and we mark the parts up like crazy! I doubt Honda is doing anything different than this. However, what Honda does is do a little more research, and a little more followup. Their OEM suppliers must meet their stringent PPM defect standards, and they do pay more for their parts. The tradeoff being that the domestics and other cheapies pay less, for less reliable parts. I don't see a problem with going to a retailer like Maximumautoparts.com or Rockauto.com, as they specify the vendor of the parts. A little research will render this information quite quickly under the hood of your honda, check out the brand names and part numbers. Match them up on the website, and you should be getting an 'aftermarket' OEM part. In other words, not from the dealer... My 2 cents.

Reminds me that I go around recommending https://www.automedicsupply.com/ for OEM oxygen sensors. Yet what this site sells is exactly what you describe. I checked some of the prices at maximumautoparts.com . Those folks want 95 cents for an oil pan drain plug washer! But all else that I checked seemed not out of line with the OEM sites I usually suggest. |

In short, YES!
I constantly get inundated with requests from vendors to give me price relief by reducing warranties. In some cases, we go for it, as it would help generate more revenue. Its all about the balance of what a customer expects from a part vs what you provide, and which option will generate the most revenue long term. t jim beam wrote: >> been thinking about this some more, and it kinda got me going a little. >> Honda really takes us to the cleaners on parts from the dealerships. >[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> and they do pay more for their parts.

lol... re-read this message, and realized how I contradicted myself. DUH
After receiving some parts from the website mentioned, I would say that the quality is superior to the crap at my FLAPS (I liked that acronym the other day, so I am going to use it). It is the same as the stuff I get from Honda. However, my point was that sometimes, as an OEM, sometimes decisions are made to buy parts of inferior quality to increase revenues. Not saying Honda does this, but we don't know either way. t loewent wrote: >In short, YES! > >I constantly get inundated with requests from vendors to give me price relief >by reducing warranties. > >In some cases, we go for it, as it would help generate more revenue.
