I needed a clip the other day and went to the stealership.
The clip having been ordered, I decided to confirm that the timing belt I plan to buy online is made by the same company as the dealer one.
Sure enough, when he brought it out it was Contitech, like the online offering, and the box looked identical as well. I just nodded when he told me the price, but couldn't quite hide my smirk. He proceeded to explain that even though the two are made by the same company and come in identical boxes, theirs is the good one, and the other's probably made in China and a factory second, and will give my car swine flu
Since I was in a good mood, I managed not to laugh in his face.
