Getting a quality part for your car can be difficult. The market is saturated with low-end, poor quality spare parts that often do more damage to your car than save you any money. That’s why it is important to know which brands offer quality solutions that will last the wear and tear of everyday driving. Some of the top auto-parts brands recommended by mechanics include: 

K&N 

If you are looking for something related to automotive filtration, you can’t get much better than the offerings from K&N. For over five decades K&N has been pushing the boundaries of automotive filtration technology, building products that focus on high performance and serious longevity. K&N was founded by two motorcycles racers in the 1960s who needed a better solution for air filtration - one that could perform in harsh, dusty, offroad environments. Their solution not only performed extremely well at capturing contaminants, but it could also be washed and reused, making it extremely efficient and kinder on the pocket in the long term. Today K&N still keeps their focus pretty tight with a range of products including automotive air filters, intake systems, oil filters and cabin air filters. 

Ryco 

If you still aren’t sure about where to buy your filtration systems, then Ryco is one of K&N’s serious competitors Down Under. With origins leading as far back as 1936 in Australia and New Zealand, Ryco has developed filters that are suited specifically for the Australian environment. This is important because Australia has some of the harshest dust in the world, comprising of silica particles, which can wreak havoc on vehicles that aren’t effectively protected.
