    Hi guys,

    I would like to ask your comment on this..

    I usually buy parts for my SF and Carnival in Seiring, Fronte and Goodgear.* I don't usually compare the parts that I bought from these 3 companies but last week, I started to notice it when I realized that the oil filters from Fronte/Goodgear were cheaper compared to Seiring. However, the oil filters had no MOBIS sticker in the packaging, unlike in Seiring, all the parts that I bought had sticker.* I asked the seller if the one being sold was an original one... The seller said YES.. So I assume that it was....

    When I went home,* I compared the aircon cabin filter, the one that I bought from Seiring was in a blue hyundai box with a big hyundai part number sticker.* The one that came from Fronte, was just place inside a plain brown box with a big hyundai part number sticker (NO MOBIS STICKER). The actual product is also different. The one that came from fronte is a bit soft and the one from Fronte is not.

    Here are my questions...

    1. Can we assume that even if there are no MOBIS sticker, the parts are original?
    2. GOODGEAR/FRONTE has a cheaper supplier that can supply original parts?

    as far as i know, the mobis hologram sticker differentiates the copy ones and the oem ones. I've been getting parts directly sa korea, and every product that I've got do have mobis hologram sticker.

    But the truth of the matter is, kahit hologram stickers nakokopya pa eh... hehehehehe..

    Kaya our only assurance is to get it from highly regarded shops...

    sir meikey. you posted that you import from korea. is there a chance that you can get parts option that is only available in European countries like rear combination light and switch for rear fog light and complete wiring assembly for certain kia or hyundai cars?

    Needed an engine belt for 07 Sorento. Goodgear quoted me 1060. Seiring 1,300. I still went to Seiring because it was closer, but I was pleasantly surprised that they charged me only 1,100.

    There's a mechanic who works outside of Seiring. The guard said he used to work for Seiring but is now independent. Wasn't able to talk to him because he was under a Tucson. Has anyone tried him?
