Common Myths About Semi-Trailer Parts

There are some common misconceptions about semi-trailer parts, but the following guide clears those up.

Myth 1: All Semi-Trailer Parts Are The Same

There's a reason that semi-trailer parts come at different price points. They vary in terms of their construction and quality.

A given semi-trailer part may look similar to the OEM one, but be vastly different in terms of the specifications it was built to match, the quality of the construction, and the expected lifespan. 

That's not to say that a generic part will never work for your given model. But let an expert help you select the right option for your situation. Using the wrong semi-trailer part can lead to compromised performance or even expensive damage!

Myth 2: The Price Is the Most Important Factor

It's tempting to simply choose the least expensive option. But this can lead to choosing the wrong semi-trailer part...and paying a fortune in repair fees. It can also lead to buying a poor quality part that needs to be replaced soon after purchasing.

Buying a high quality semi-trailer part may cost more money upfront, but can end up being the most budget-friendly option in the long run.

Myth 3: It’s Possible To Find and Install Any Semi-Trailer Part on Your Own

Some semi-trailer parts are more obscure while others are more challenging to install. In these cases, it's wise to let a dealership take over. They can handle the process quickly and efficiently - so you don't have to!
