Have you ever wondered why mechanics choose to use the products they do?

There are many different factors for us to consider when looking at what brands we use on our customers vehicles. It ends up being a bit of a balancing act to make sure that we can get the best outcome for you, the valued customer

Some cars and some parts we manage to be very lucky and everything ends up working well together for the best quality at the best price with the best backing from our suppliers while the parts are easily  available, even sitting on the shelf. At other times we might need to get a little bit more innovative to solve a dilemma.

Of course quality is one of the most important things to take into account. Not only do we want you, the customer, to benefit from the best quality products, we also want to protect our reputation as a trustworthy mechanic who uses only the best parts for the job. For this reason we want to use and supply products that will last as long as possible at the best price.

Quality does not really mean much without the manufacturers or suppliers standing behind their product. Working with our suppliers we can make sure that if something does go wrong with the part prematurely, we can get everything sorted as promptly and pain free as possible.

While price is a contributing factor, the old saying “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten...” Very much comes into play when we are talking about maintaining your vehicle. That being said, we don’t want to overspend where we have good quality affordable options available to us either.

It wouldn’t be very useful if we picked a part from a preferred brand that was not available in a reasonable time frame, if at all. Sometimes we do not have a choice on availability and we are stuck with one brand via one supplier (and that part can sometimes be on back order for months). We have seen this happen on weird and wonderful parts on the rare occasion.

This is the hardest one for us to work through. Wherever possible we will use a brand on one of our work or personal vehicles before putting those parts on a customer’s car. For example, my car has used 3 different brand brake pads while our courtesy cars are using 3 other brands (or product specs from those brands) between them all.

Sometimes we are unable to test some products, so we look for the trends in the industry of reported failure rates for which brands to avoid.

Whatever the case above, you can rest assured that Ultra Lube Mechanical Workshop in Midland will always do their best to not only keep your vehicle in great condition, but will do so using the best quality, safe, efficient and durable parts and fluids available at the best possible price point.
