Chinese auto parts – problems and savings when choosing

9 August 2018

Selection of parts from China as art

China became the world factory for more than two decades. First, markets around the world and, of course, neighboring Russia was flooded with goods, about the quality which otherwise didn't say "Chinese". However, time goes by, three decades of continuous growth of the Chinese economy, and the impact on producers from China, which is gradually gaining competence and produce very high quality products. This fully affects the spare parts market, who is one of extensive growth, when providers cared only volumes, but the guarantee they'd never heard of. No different demands and domestic entrepreneurs, who are often not interested in anything except the most low price.

Today much of the world brands for the production of components and spare parts have largely moved its facilities to China. Hence, local manufacturers were forced to catch up to the higher level of quality, simultaneously being trained to world standards and technologies, equipping the production plants of auto parts and the most modern equipment. Hence, over the last decade, Chinese manufacturers made a huge jump in terms of quality in this segment of the market. The cost of Chinese parts is still quite low, due to the variety of programs Beijing to stimulate the local automotive industry and the continuing and most provinces of China low-cost labour.

Factories for the production of components and spare parts are located in most Chinese provinces (up to 9000), and, for example, in Chongqing, Tianjin and Shanghai are concentrated the largest factories for the manufacture of spare parts for cars and motorcycles. Here are the major manufacturers of spare parts for machinery.

Of course, now in China, producing many models of brands like world type, for example, Skodа Octavia, Volkswagen Polo or the BMW 3-series, which implies a fairly high quality components and spare parts. However, so far, joint ventures of Chinese brands with foreign brands has no rights to export made in China cars. In addition, local cars, even the "global" models are so highly adapted to the requirements of the local market, with virtually their localization to speak about the identity of components is not necessary. The first, rather timid attempts to promote the brands of Chinese production to the U.S. market (e.g., Buick Envision) can be lost because of the trade China-us war, and their export to other regions, including Russia, and now the question. Freely export their products can only local brands, but their level of quality and culture of the sales correspond only to the countries of the third world and partly the former Soviet bloc.

Parts the picture is changing more rapidly. Today from buying Chinese parts, in principle, to dismiss does not need, but you need to show some clarity, for example, offers at the lowest prices to consider is not necessary, as this is obviously substandard products are usually made with violation of technology and from poor quality materials. For example, such a detail can loosely sit on the seat and thereby accelerate the wear on the node or the unit as a whole. So you should focus on parts with brand marking Chinese automakers. 

Local Chinese partners, the world's leading automakers produce parts, which are as close as possible to the original, however, the cost is significantly lower. The quality of such subcontractors is lifted to the global level quite fast and in some places they are starting to push the recognized leaders of the industry, at least in the budget segment, where buyers are not after durability, and reasonable price. 

At the factory these parts are manufactured on the same machines and parts directly to the Assembly line. Therefore, these parts are installed in place of their worn-out predecessors as tightly as possible.

Even Mercedes-Benz parts in China, learned to make for quite a decent level. To find information about these manufacturers-suppliers, it is possible to study in the specialized forums dealing with specific car brands.
