A Southern OEM part is a part that never met a Canadian winter. No road salt in the wheel wells, no calcium chloride on the underbody, no seven years of freeze-thaw pitting the seams. That's why our tanks and cradles are pulled from vehicles in the Southern United States — and why they outlive the ones sitting in a scrap yard fifty kilometres up the QEW.
Every donor is inspected before it's catalogued: seam integrity, mounting-tab thickness, coating condition, gasket surface. If a part doesn't pass, it doesn't ship. If it passes, it goes on the shelf with a code, a fitment note and an invoice date on the warranty ledger.
Recycled is not "used". Recycled is tested, catalogued, warrantied — and delivered at a fraction of the price of the same part in a factory box, without the six-week backorder.
