It goes without saying, car repairs are not a \u201chappy\u201d purchase for most people. There are, however, some car parts where saving money should not be the priority. In these cases, paying a little extra to get good-quality parts will save you in the long run, and may keep you and your family safer at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that said, buying branded parts doesn\u2019t guarantee a better outcome. It\u2019s critically important to consider fitment and in many cases using parts made by the vehicle manufacturer will work better, and wear slower, saving you time and money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are just some of the car parts worth paying a bit more for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They keep you stuck to the road, allow you to make it around tight bends, and stop when you need to. Good quality tyres are critical in keeping you and your passengers safe. They are, however, an easy product to find cheaper options of, and on face value, it can be hard to justify spending hundreds extra when it\u2019s difficult to see the difference. There often is a big performance gap though, so we suggest doing your homework before buying tyres and shelling out a little bit more. Remember, replace tyres in pairs (for example, always replace the front left with the right and vice versa), and get a wheel balance to avoid uneven wear. You can check out our range of tyres from leading manufacturers here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another product where you really need to consider spending top dollar in order to keep everyone safe. Brake pads do an obvious job that can be taken for granted until it\u2019s too late. Cheaper pads often need replacing more often and can lead to undesirable noises (squeaking, squealing etc), which can drive you nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend getting a pro to replace your brake pads rather than doing it yourself. While it can be done at home, this is one part you need to work right, every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The drive belt uses the engine\u2019s rotation to drive peripheral devices such as your alternator, and critically the power steering pump. If the drive belt breaks while you are driving your steering will become stiff and incredibly difficult to turn. At high speeds, this is obviously very dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBrake Pads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
