Funny that in all my years in
Funny that in all my years in automotive I've rarely seen any parts that match your description - out of China or elsewhere. The reason? Nobody would sell and install them. One lawsuit and you're toast. What mechanic wouldn't be able to tell that part is as cheap as you have described? And what mechanic, regardless of the size of shade tree he works under, would risk his reputation and perhaps his customer's security because he can make a few more dollars selling a clearly fake part? Further, what distribution system, short of the "Direct from China" model, would stock and sell these parts without fear of reprisal? And - why aren't we seeing the type of parts you have described for other brands of cars? Me thinks Mr. Hyundai wants to keep the high parts margins for himself...
