Industry expert Andy Savva will be presenting on the OESAA stand J39 in hall 10 at Automechanika Birmingham.

Ahead of the forthcoming Automechanika show in Birmingham, the Original Equipment Suppliers Aftermarket Association (OESAA) has released a preview video, highlighting how OESAA’s quality can help build your reputation.

The video features commentary from industry experts and garage owners including Andy Savva, Shayne Walters and Martin McDaid.

Shayne Walters, managing director at SW Autotech, explains the risk-reducing benefits of using OE parts: his technicians do not want to have to undertake any job twice because of sub-standard parts, besides the direct cost, these reworks would undermine his business’ reputation, he believes.

Martin McDaid encourages technicians to explain the benefits of OE parts.

He thinks selling trustworthy replacement parts ensures the integrity of the repair, and believes that the chance of inferior parts compromising a correct diagnostic and otherwise repair is not worth taking.

Andy Savva, who will also be presenting on OESAA’s Automechanika stand, said: “It’s a safety issue for me: I know in confidence that when I give the keys back to the customer they’ve had fitted what their car had fitted on the production line.

“So it’s key – it’s a must – to fit OE parts.”

OESAA’s presence at Automechanika is central to the group’s drive to raise awareness of the benefits of OE components and the pitfalls of ‘matching quality’ alternatives; these can include hidden costs from breakages, lost labour time and increased reputational risk.
