Reclamet is a leading Vehicle Recycling Centre. Through our recycling processes, we can extract reusable and undamaged original manufacturer parts. We can re-introduce these parts back into the marketplace through our membership of the Vehicle Recyclers’ Association and completion of their VRAC certification and parts grading training.
Used OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, or ‘Green Parts’ are a cost-effective option for some vehicle repairs and maintenance. The use of ‘green parts’ is highly recommended to reduce the environmental impact of re-manufacturing.
The positives of using green parts are evident. Here are some points to consider when using used OEM parts:
Cost Savings: One of the primary advantages of using used OEM parts is the potential for cost savings. These parts are less expensive than new OEM components, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious vehicle owners.
Genuine Quality: Used OEM parts are genuine components originally manufactured for your vehicle’s make and model. This means they should fit and function correctly, just like new OEM parts.
Compatibility: Since used OEM parts come from the exact vehicle or a similar model, they are more likely to be compatible and provide a good fit. This can save you time and reduce the likelihood of fitment issues compared to using aftermarket parts.
Environmental Benefits: Using used OEM parts contributes to recycling and reducing waste. It’s an environmentally friendly option, as you’re extending the life of components that might otherwise be discarded.
Older Vehicle Repairs: Used OEM parts can be especially valuable for older or discontinued vehicle models where finding new OEM parts might be challenging or costly.
However, we take some important considerations very seriously, which is why we undertake the VRA Certification and the parts grading training.
These are:
Condition Varies: The condition of used OEM parts can vary significantly. While some may be in excellent condition, others might show signs of wear or damage.
We quality control all parts we remove and list.
Compatibility: Used parts may only sometimes be an exact match for your vehicle, especially if they come from a different model year or have been modified. It’s important to ensure compatibility before making a purchase.
– We display the compatible makes and models when we list a vehicle part.
Availability: Availability of specific used OEM parts can be limited, so you may need to spend more time searching for a suitable component.
– If we don’t have the part, we may still be able to source one quickly for you. Just ask. We process hundreds of vehicles every day.
Inspection and Trustworthiness: It’s crucial to buy used OEM parts from reputable sources, such as auto salvage yards, certified used auto parts dealers, or online marketplaces with positive reviews. This helps ensure the parts’ quality and authenticity.
– That’s us. We are VRAC Certified. We have state-of-the-art vehicle dismantling rigs, expert mechanics, and parts listers who have received the required training.
In conclusion, using used OEM parts can be a practical and cost-effective solution for certain vehicle repairs, particularly for older vehicles or when trying to save on repair costs. Through our due diligence in inspecting the parts and verifying their authenticity, we are confident of a successful and reliable repair.
