I work for dorman products I pick all the parts for dorman to ship out to stores like autozone o'rileys and other part stores they are mostly made in China and Taiwan and they have quality parts

Fantastic advice buddy

Usually the spare parts were better than original but that's history #

I bought a moog wheel bearing on Amazon and it did not say moog anywhere!

The truck was going forward….Scotty was speaking backwards (backmasking)….Did you catch that the Devil was driving the truck. He had horns on his head. No sh*t.

OEM is usually the only way to go. I once bought a fuel injector from a parts store called Pep Boys and after installing it the car wouldn't run as smooth it did even with the leaky injector but once I took it out and replaced it with a Genuine GM injector it run the way it always did before the leak. Had the same problem with spark plug wires. NONE of the big box parts stores including NAPA had wires that were within the resistant specs for the wires for my car and the car wasn't running right with a brand new set of wires! But once again I replaced them with OEM wires which I tested before buying and the car ran like new again.

I am looking at accords And civics. Based on your videos I am concerned about the accord automatic transmission. Which year is the best or should I stick with the civic

Well done on all your vid's, I'm a mechanic,etc,

Hey Scotty! I Appreciate all the videos! What do you think of Acura and Mazda?

Chinese manufacturers will make it the way you ask them to. If you want them to make crappy, then it's crappy.

I always buy from rock auto. And i always buy AC Delco brand for my Sierra. I buy from rock auto because i can buy oem parts for my truck less then what after market parts cost in Canada.
And of course no one will price match in Canada. Love your videos Scotty.

I bought a new off brand TPS and it made things 10X worse

Rev up your Chinese junk!

If you order online Chinese parts. I have used Am-autoparts a lot with excellent results. They have even treated me well with warranty claims. I am not getting paid by them either. I just want to help people that are looking for cheap parts that have a warranty and seem to be of acceptable quality.
I have used cheap off brand tires and i can't recommend any of them i have tried. Some are good when it is dry and warm then once temperature drops or it gets slightly wet out,all traction is gone. I agree with scotty on sticking with name brand tires.

My AC Delco HVAC blend door actuator – Made in China – went out at 20k miles.

My wife was born in China. She tries to avoid buying things Made in China because to the Chinese, it is seen as UNSUCCESSFUL to buy Chinese made goods over foreign brands that are better quality. But I want to say that the Chinese can make better quality, but North American businesses want cheap goods to sell to North American customers, so they ask the Chinese factories to make the products dirt cheap. Not the fault of the Chinese. Its the fault of the marketer who imports into America, for example, and sells to the American customer.

Man…. I thought there were more like 500,000 Chinese parts not to buy, rather than just 5…. Or is this the first of a new series? 😀

On a side note, A LOT of the tire brands are now owned by Chinese companies and the lack of quality has started seeping into the product lines of previously reputable companies.

What kind idiots buys auto parts online?

If your going Chinese tires I do recommend brand names that have a WARRANTY!

I work at a tire shop and we sell two Chinese brands.

One good one with a mileage warranty is Black Lion. And the cheaper without the warranty but also good tire is Pantera.
