Nissan is once again making a push for its genuine parts initiative at this year's Gold Coast 600 supercars event.
As part of the 'Beware of Strangers' campaign, Nissan driver Michael Caruso's Nismo Nissan Altima supercar will don the initiative's livery.
The campaign aims to inform consumers about the advantages and differences of using genuine versus non-genuine parts.
Nissan Australia director of aftersales Peter Gillam commented on the importance of using genuine parts.
“To ensure your safety and the ongoing quality of your vehicle, genuine parts are developed and rigorously tested to meet high quality and performance standards.
“Non-genuine parts can’t necessarily promise this.
“A genuine part is made during the production of the vehicle, or sourced by the vehicle maker, to meet the same high level of specification of parts fitted at the time the vehicle has been manufactured.
“It doesn’t matter what type of vehicle you drive, to ensure you get the reliability and safety that you expect, only fit genuine parts that come approved and recommended from your vehicle manufacturer.”
Public attention for the topic of genuine parts was given a boost by the Australian Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) with its ‘Genuine is Best’ program.
This campaign provides consumers with important information about keeping their vehicles safe through the use of genuine parts in scheduled servicing as well as collision repairs and general repairs.
