Replacement parts of vehicles ……… the right choice?

The “ARD Guide Cars and Traffic” presents in association with FAKT a benchmark test of original vehicle replacement parts and various customary replacement parts. How is it possible that the customer might save costs and – at the same time – the customer can rely on having purchased a product of high quality? – This question is dealed in detail in this TV show. 

Quite often, it is hard for the customer making a decision: purchasing an expensive original replacement part or purchasing a significantly cheaper “no-name” product. Concerning the supply, the customers are often overcharged and purchase – fearing bad quality – the original or an expensive brand product.

FAKT has been dealing with this for a long time and created an own quality seal/ standard/ label. This seal is a guarantor for security, accuracy of fit, durability and quality – in accordance with the original. The test is specially fitted to the required profile of the part; it is spread on the test as well as on a permanent control of the product. If a replacement part tested by FAKT receives the FAKT- quality seal, the customer can rely on having purchased a part according to the quality of the original replacement part.




… where FAKT is labelled,
FAKT is actually there!

Service of vehicle endurance runs

As an enhanced service FAKT offers vehicle endurance runs. Based on specified routes and profiles these vehicles will be driven and checked around the clock for a couple of thousand kilometers by qualified drivers of the FAKT company.
 

Test of auto batteries - 
more power for less money

More then half a million times per year the roadside assistants of automotive clubs need to march-out to give starting aid to weak batteries. With the auto battery test conducted by us, ten different batteries were tested regarding low battery discharge, cold start and capacity. 
The cold start test was conducted after
12 hours at –25ºC. For low discharge the endurance was rated up to six volts and up to one volt. The test winner, due to its good cold start ability, is the Bonus A7 – the cheapest battery in the test. Following are inexpensive batteries as well, such as Bahr and Arktis.


Clear view?

At the beginning of this year we tested in cooperation with GTUe (society for technical monitoring) and ACE Lenkrad seven windshield wipers from three price categories.
