Not surprising after the talk I had with two local shop owners last week.
So I had a front end job side job come in and I wanted to get parts for the thing. So I talk to one well known local shop owner about front end parts and ask him who makes good front end parts now-days?
His answer, NOBODY. WTH? Really? He said really. IHHO they are all junk. I asked even MOOG? He said, yep, even MOOG is junk. :E
He even talked about re-boxed OEM parts. He went to a local Dodge dealer to buy some part for a truck and found out it was re-boxed China junk at OEM dealer prices.
Then I went to another friend that owns another well know shop and he told me the EXACT SAME STORY! He said all the new parts are junk. So I asked him what does he do? He told me just buy them and hope they make it past his warrantee period. :E
The first guy likes to have his customers buy their own parts. That way he tells them if they don't fall off of the car he doesn't want to hear about it because all he did was install them.
