What are counterfeit car parts Counterfeit car parts are fraudulent copies of genuine manufacturer-branded components intended to deceive motorists and the motor industry.
		The criminals who produce counterfeit these parts meticulously copy logos, packaging, and even serial numbers in order to fool unwary buyers.
	Unfortunately, these criminals are not such sticklers for detail when it comes to product testing and safety, occasionally with potentially lethal consequences. It is important not to confuse the illegal trade in fake parts with the genuine industry that produces pattern spare parts. Pattern parts are unbranded replacement car parts made by independent manufactures and, while they are often cheaper than branded parts, they are fully tested and licensed.
