OEM GM/ ACCESSORIES
It seems either GM just doesn't get it or there marketing team needs to be fired. With all the after market accessories in which many make great products that meet or exceed oem standards at a much cheaper price why won't GM/ Accessories sell there products at a more competitive price? So many times I have walked away from the parts department showing them basically the same product for almost $200 to $300 less, you just have to wonder how much money GM/Accessories loses a year to the competition selling basically the same products.

Ford is the same way with the Mustang when I had one. You can find better parts and tuners for cheaper or near the same price and are better. Especially CAI and tuner when it comes to the Mustang. So many options compared to the Ford brand stuff. It's the same way with most products. I'm into selling phone accessories. the OEM cases Samsung and Apple make for their phones are overpriced junk and don't offer much protection compared to the non OEM. Usually OEM is overpriced and sub par. |

Want proof? There’s a recent thread here where someone put “cosmetic” items on inc LED taillights, and has been having electrical problems. Dealer has now told him they won’t fix it under warranty because of the taillights he installed (and since removed and replaced with originals)...too late damage is done.

All car makers will try and find BS reasons to get out of doing warranty work. Same thing with the Mustang Ford would make outrageous claims about aftermarket parts causing this and that but federal law protects you. The aftermarket part has to be causing the problem. You should read some of the stories on Mustang forums about that. Go to a different dealer if one gives you issues. |
