Consumers face the risk to buy counterfeited auto parts even in official authorized auto services.

The auto parts from China can be of high quality as well as very low quality. Customs authorities seize counterfeits on a huge scale, but it seems it does not help to eliminate the problem. Counterfeited auto parts cause damages not only for right holders but they are also dangerous for the health and safety of customers, who buy them for their autos. There is no exception for the brands of autos. Counterfeits are made for any mark of auto.

The main reason for widespread problem with counterfeited auto parts is prices.
