Bringing your own parts — can AutoJet fit them?

Yes, you can bring your own parts

At AutoJet we also fit parts you've bought yourself — from a supplier, online, or second-hand. In that case we don't charge for the part, only for the labour to fit it. That can be worthwhile if you want a specific brand, or you found a good deal.

It works like a normal appointment: call or message us, we schedule a time, and you bring the part to Televisieweg 63. We fit it and test that everything works as it should.

What does fitting your own part cost?

The labour price doesn't depend on where the part came from — we work with a fixed price list per job, and where that doesn't apply, our €70 hourly rate. A few examples from daily practice:

• Battery fitting + coding — from €50 (on most modern cars a new battery also needs to be registered in the system).
• Brake pads or discs — labour by price list, whether you supply the part or we do.
• Smaller jobs (bulbs, wipers, filters) — often a few tens of euros in labour.

Not sure what your job will cost? Send your license plate and the part you're considering — we'll give you a clear price up front.

Pros and cons at a glance

Honestly, bringing your own part has both upsides and pitfalls. Here's what to weigh up:

• Pro: you can save money if you find a sharp price yourself, or deliberately choose a specific brand.
• Pro: full transparency — you know exactly what you paid for the part.
• Con: if the part doesn't fit or turns out faulty, you're left with a second problem — that's why we'd rather check fitment first using your license plate.
• Con: we give no warranty on the part itself — that runs through the seller you bought it from.

Warranty: what we do and don't cover

Important to be clear about: we stand behind our own installation work — if we fitted something incorrectly, we fix it. On the part itself (material defect, wrong type, premature failure) we give no warranty — that claim goes to the seller.

If it later turns out the part you brought is faulty or doesn't fit, that's frustrating, but it's no reason to doubt our workmanship. A second visit to fit the correct part instead is billed as a separate job.

Tip: send your license plate before you order

The most common mistake is ordering a part first and only checking whether it's correct afterwards. If it turns out wrong, that costs both time and money. So send us your license plate on WhatsApp first — we'll check which type of part fits your car, and only then do you order.

That way you won't pay for shipping twice or need a second workshop visit because the wrong part number or variant was ordered.
