Ranking of the best auto parts companies in 2022

The reputation of brands that specialize in non-genuine parts is determined solely by the quality of their products. If a car enthusiast chooses a non-original spare part, then he wants to save money, but at the same time get at least mediocre quality from the product. A copy of a part from a little-known manufacturer costs several times less than the original, so the demand for such products never fades. The average statistics corresponds to the following figures: out of 100 car owners, 90 prefer to use replica brands when it comes to spare parts.

replica market

The car market offers a wide range of different replicas. In modern realities, there are even network portals where the user can remotely pick up the item of interest to him, order it and wait for the postal service to deliver the package.Interest in replica auto parts brands is high, and over the course of their existence, well-known names have emerged in this niche. Car enthusiasts all over the world trust these names, as they have worked hard to build a reputation for years, producing only quality parts. Along with well-known names, there are also little-known ones that either have not yet gained popularity or, due to injustice, remain in the shadows, although they produce high-quality parts. It is not uncommon for an obscure manufacturer to offer high quality parts at a low price just because their name has no reputation in the market.

Listed below are noteworthy names, some of which are not well known, but they offer high quality at low prices. Some brands are known for a certain category of products, but few people know that the same manufacturer also produces other parts.

German market

When it comes to cars, the Germans tend to excel by several orders of magnitude. Since the formation of the global automotive industry, Germany has occupied a leading position in the market for cars and spare parts for them. Replicas from German manufacturers are not much inferior to their original ancestors, so most car owners prefer goods from Germany.

In addition, owners of German cars, especially old ones, are faced with the problem of the high cost of consumables. For example, an old Volkswagen requires parts of a certain standard, usually only factory ones. In such a case, the owner of the car will be faced with the fact that the production of factory consumables for his model has long been discontinued, or they are so expensive that it is simply unprofitable to purchase them for an old car. In this case, it is better to contact the replica manufacturers.

Manufacturer SWAG

Spare parts directly from Germany, which means that the quality is beyond doubt. In addition, the company was founded in the 50s of the last century, and since the beginning of the present century, it has become one of the largest German concerns. Such age and status indicate that the company is doing its job perfectly, because keeping the trust of consumers for more than 50 years in a row is definitely a sign of quality.

The company supplies original parts for the world-famous German car industry, from Mercedes to Audi, and even cooperates with the Korean and Japanese markets. The choice of products is wide and includes over 13,000 different products for all machine components, from chassis to bearings. For the price of the part, the car owner gets undeniable quality.

• Reliability;
• Wide selection:
• manufacturer's reputation.

• Not the cheapest option.

Review:

“I have been using Swag parts for more than a year and I vouch for their quality. I have an Old Mercedes and buying spare parts of the original order for it is simply not cost-effective, so I have to choose from replicas. Previously, I used those parts that are sold on the market and do not have a specific name and the results were consistent. A few years ago, an acquaintance advised me to pay attention to Swag. I did and now I'm happy. Only this brand guarantees quality over a long distance, although there are cheaper replicas, but the service life of their products is an order of magnitude shorter. I definitely recommend the SWAG brand!”

Manufacturer Meyle

Another guest from Germany, who has already gained a reputation as a high-quality manufacturer.Unlike the previous name, the Meyle brand is aimed at a more budgetary segment of the market, which it fully covers, since the production of products in China allows this. Meyle's production includes mid-range cars like Volkswagen or Skoda. The equipment on which the products are manufactured was brought to China from Germany, the same applies to the engineering and supervisory staff. The car owner who prefers Meyle can be calm, the factories are located in China only for reasons of saving on rent and taxes, and the production standards are German. The pricing policy of the company makes their products one of the most popular on the market. The choice of spare parts is focused on the details of the middle order, like power windows or racks for the steering wheel.

• One of the most economical options;
• Product quality;
• German standards.

• Not found.

Review:

“I have been using small parts from Meyle for a long time. For all the time of use, they have never let me down. It’s a pity that you can’t find parts for the chassis, but those parts that are of excellent quality, especially at this price. I recommend Meyle products to anyone looking for good quality small parts!”

Manufacturer Vierol

The third brand from Germany. Just like the previous brands, this one was founded in the 2nd half of the last century and has been successfully operating for more than 30 years, which indicates stable demand and trust from regular customers. The company has 2 departments that are engaged in the production of certain categories of parts. The first is responsible for parts for the chassis, gearbox and other components of the main system of the car, the second specializes in smaller caliber spare parts, such as electrics.

Over 40,000 items are presented to the buyer to choose from. The price of the company's products is higher than the average for the replica market, but the quality is consistent.

• A wide range of;
• Detail quality;
• Packing quality.

• Prices are above average.

Review:

“Repeatedly convinced of the advantage of Vierol over other brands. All the spare parts I bought from Vierola serve for at least several years in a row, besides, in my case (I am the owner of an old German car), it is not so easy to find an alternative. I recommend Vierol to anyone who owns an old German car industry and is looking for quality parts!”

Japanese market

Historically, in the Land of the Rising Sun, the theme of the auto industry is very popular, which means that the production of cars and related products is treated there with a high responsibility, characteristic of the Japanese mentality. It is unlikely that the Japanese auto industry needs an introduction, because everyone knows that Mazda or Toyota are cars of high reliability and quality.

For the consumer of Japanese products from Russia, a number of advantages open up due to geopolitical reasons. Due to the simplified import system and Japan's proximity to the Russian borders, prices for their goods are somewhat lower than for products from Europe, especially for those who live in the Far East.

Brand Qsten

In Japan, this name is widely known and has a reputation as a reliable manufacturer. The company is divided into 2 departments (import and export). The export department is focused on countries where Japanese cars are in great demand (Russia is one of them) and supplies spare parts that meet country-specific standards. The company does not have a rich history, it is creating it at the moment and is already ready to boast a number of significant successes in the market.

The success of the company is due to its approach to the manufacture of suspensions for cars. Qsten standards are high, so their pendants are of the highest quality. In addition to essential elements, the company also produces small-caliber parts, such as stabilizer struts or steering wheel tips. The company's policy is to maintain the standards of production of spare parts at the level of original, but at a lower cost. Qsten have achieved complete identity as a replica of parts from brands such as Nissan, Toyota and Honda.

• Not the most expensive cost;
• Excellent quality;
• Wide selection of titles.

• Not found.

Review:

“I use spare parts only from this company, because for such a modest price tag, only Qstes can provide such high quality. Parts for Toyota are incomparably cheaper than if you buy a factory version. A definite recommendation!”

Brand Allied Nippon

The Japanese manufacturer is known for high-quality parts for the brake component of the car. The company is owned mostly by Japanese entrepreneurs and partly by Indian investors.

In addition to non-original assembly parts, the company is also engaged in official production for Japanese and American brands. The first category is widespread on the Eurasian continent and on the territory of the Russian Federation, since Allied Nippon parts are suitable for some models of domestic cars. All delivered goods undergo strict certification before entering the territory of the Russian Federation. Allied Nippon is the most famous and largest manufacturer of spare parts for automobile brake elements, production is carried out on an industrial scale, and the amount of goods produced annually exceeds 30 million pieces.

• manufacturer's reputation;
• Affordable price;
• Product versatility.

• It is not uncommon to find fakes of this brand on the market.

Review:

“The parts for the brake system from Allied Nippon are perfect for my VAZ! Under the domestic auto industry, prices can be found cheaper, but the quality guarantee of the Japanese brand is worth the money. Recommend to all car enthusiasts!”

HDK brand

The name of this company is associated among car owners with high-class SHRs (that is, with hinges for angular speeds) for car brands of Japanese origin. In addition, at the choice of the buyer, the company provides all consumables related to the SHURS. Although HDK parts are essentially replicas, the quality standards in manufacturing are as high as those of original parts, so the buyer can be calm about the durability of the purchased part.

Since the technology for the production of replica parts from HDK is largely identical to official production, the motorist can also be guided by official instructions in terms of operation and installation. Not so long ago, the company launched a line of economy spare parts for sale, which are marked with a red marker on the packaging (as opposed to the standard blue one). The company is well-known, which is why many basement manufacturers give their products the name HDK. You can distinguish a fake by a rough design (the quality of the engravings on the case and the general appearance). It is recommended to verify the authenticity of the spare part before purchasing.

• Aesthetic product design;
• Quality identical to the originals;
• Availability of economy option.

• Not found.

Review:

“I buy hinges only from HDK, because only this company produces SHURS of acceptable quality for adequate money.The details have a beautiful engraving on the case, it is from it that I know that the product is genuine. It is not uncommon to come across parts of unknown origin, but they differ in a less aesthetic form and engraving on the case - this immediately catches the eye. I recommend to everyone who is looking for good SHURS!”

Maruichi brand

The name Maruichi 1-56 is more common on the market, since the company is part of the largest concern and such names are legal costs. At home, the company enjoys unconditional popularity and is considered number 1 among manufacturers of accessories for car interiors.

Maruichi's main product is protective harmonica cases. Covers of this company are supplied to all famous car brands in Japan and abroad, from Mazda to Suzuki. Protective covers from Maruichi have a number of undeniable advantages: firstly, high-quality rubber can withstand even the toughest operation for a long time, secondly, this part perfectly tolerates low temperatures, up to -45, thirdly, the part is equipped with a specialized tool - lubricant, which I use, the driver can count on the longest possible service life. It is easy to recognize the company's products by the JAPAN inscriptions on the edges of the part and the logo printed in the same places.

• brand reputation;
• Long service life of spare parts;
• Suitable for harsh conditions.

• Not the cheapest offer on the market.

“Maruichi boots are guaranteed to last in the harshest conditions. I use the lube that comes with the kit and the dust boots last for years. It is rare to find such a high level of quality.I recommend Maruichi to all car owners, especially those of Japanese origin!”

SUN Brand

The company specializes in drive belts, which they do excellently, as the user can verify by reading the many flattering reviews about SUN on the Internet. In addition, SUN is another Japanese people's company, whose products are used by many well-known Japanese brands in their cars as factory ones.

SUN belts are based on fiberglass for maximum strength. Fiberglass showed impressive results in tests: neither mechanical, nor thermal, nor even the effect of water could cope with SUN belts. Strength coupled with flexibility make SUN belts unique in the market for similar products.

• Unique strength;
• Impressive flexibility;
• manufacturer's reputation.

• High cost.

Review:

“Belts from SUN are the best that a car enthusiast can buy. I have been looking for reliable belts for a long time and finally I came across SAN, since then I don’t even look at other manufacturers. I recommend this company to all car enthusiasts!”
