course.

I had not heard any such thing. Since when do they void all
warranties for using aftermarket parts? Doesn't seem like that could
be true since there is a complete LKQ industry out there that
insurance companies drive.

I hadn't heard about that either. This could apply to fleet operators
who do their own maintenance maybe?
I will investigate further. But, what is the scoop on the insane
pricing of GM rotors (for instance) vs Ford?
And it's not just brake parts..all parts.


I haven't had to buy GM parts for a few years now - since I quit owning GM
products (except for my 94 pickup...), so I'm quite out of touch with parts
pricing. Back when I was keeping 4 GM vehicles in shape, this was the case
as well. GM has always felt tha their Genuine GM parts were worth a lot
more than I ever thought they were.
