Hello,
 
I want to know if the parts that is on line match the parts at the Mercedes deller. What is the quality of the after market parts.
 
 
Thanks

This link will take you to AutoHaus, a very good online supplier.  This particular page explains the subtle yet signifigant differences among OEM, OE, and Aftermarket.  FYI...  http://www.autohausaz.com/html/auto_parts_shopping.html

Hi Bob,
 
Thanks for your reply. I visited the AutoHaus site, I want to know if the parts are up to Mercedes quality. 
 
Thanks

'up to Mercedes quality...'
 
Using AutoHaus as an example, in most cases they label each part in their database as either OE, or Alternative.  If labeled OE, it's the same as MB without the 3 pointed star.  If labeled alternative, then it's probably an OEM provider and quality should be the same or close to it as MB.  Pls. keep in mind that AutoHaus is a very good, ethical, and reputable parts provider who I've used for years and never been disappointed.  I can't say that for every parts guy online.
 
You can also get discounted MB original parts from www.parts.com
