There is no sense taking great care to choose the right vehicle for the job, and then use parts that make it less than it was when you purchased it.

Make sure that your Mercedes-Benz Bus is fitted only with parts that are designed and manufactured with the same dedication to quality that went into the original vehicle.

Have you ever wondered how Mercedes-Benz achieved the reputation it has for reliability, long life and excellent resale value? It was not something gained easily. In fact, it has taken decades during which teams of engineers, designers and technicians ensured that each and every part that goes to make a new Mercedes-Benz is the very best available. Each part is made to the very highest standard.

Most disturbing is the proliferation of forgers, whose copies even carry the Mercedes-Benz logo and genuine parts numbers. Made of inferior material and to less exacting specifications, these can post serious safety threats. For example, when forged brake discs were tested they became so hot that they caught fire. No fleet operator or owner operator would want that situation.

If you want to continue getting the reliability and performance from your Mercedes-Benz you should insist on genuine parts only.

Using genuine parts, fitted at your authorised Mercedes-Benz Dealer ensures that your bus remains true to its original design and specification. In the long run, this will save you more than any short term saving with non-genuine parts. It’s just not worth the risk.

Remember, only genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts are genuine.
