While this make save you a few bucks on the front end, those parts are notorious for wearing down faster, meaning more frequent replacement, and those parts, since they are not expressly designed for the vehicle you own, can actually cause damage to the other surrounding parts of the vehicle.

They go over every part of the car to make sure that it runs like new and will last you for years to come. And the best part is that the price tag is cut to insanely low prices compared to what you would pay for a standard Mercedes.
