Poor spare parts procurement for older vehicles
For many old vehicles it is difficult to get corresponding replacement parts in the trade. On the Internet, so-called “new parts” are often offered very cheaply, but these are usually no original spare parts, but dangerous replicas from the Asian region. With the installation of such a steering many vehicles even lose their approval!
However, with a 1 to 1 repair this is not a problem. In almost all cases, you can get the necessary original repair kits for the steering. That is why we only use spare parts which meet the corresponding specifications of the manufacturers.
No longer obtainable vintage parts, e.g. for Porsche, Rolls Royce or Ferrari are manufactured or rebuilt by our professional workshop!
