Ever since we started with renovation of old steering and suspension parts (more than 40 years ago), we have been dealing with numerous questions, what is better. Many people still have doubts towards renovation, so it is time to finally reveal the mystery.

At Prekom we are dealing with renovation and production of new parts every day. Actually, before we started with new produced parts, we had only been working on renovation. Four decades of specialized work brought us many experiences and knowledge, which we put into daily practice.

Each part, which we get here is unique in its own way and many of them cannot even be renovated with the same technologies and processes, even though they might seem identical. Renovation processes and technologies diverse, depending on how much a part is worn down and/or used. But different approaches bring the same results at the end.

Luckily, we have renovated all kind of parts throughout the years – from steering and suspension parts belonging to personal cars, commercial vehicles like trucks, buses, forklifts, agricultural machineries to even trains. We were encountered by different technologies and solutions, which gave as the needed knowledge what works best so we are confident in what we do.

• Used parts are first cleaned and powder blasted

• Porsche parts waiting for renovation to start

It is almost impossible to say what is better – renovated or new produced part, as lots depends on the part itself. Some parts are very unique and impossible to get on the market – especially for vintage cars and older models, so in many cases, the only option is actually just renovation.

Renovation is also great for specific wishes. We get many customers from track / racing fields, who have more demanding wishes and with renovation we can upgrade the part, make it stronger and longer lasting. The technologies that we use depend on where the car will be used (track, off-road, street).

Last but not least, renovation is good for many other things too.  Nowadays everyone talks about nature and being ecological. You can help saving our planet with renovation, what is sort of recycling. Why would you change the complete part, if you can change only the vital parts like bushings/silent blocs and ball joints. To top it all off, if you have a vintage car, renovation will help you to keep the original parts on the car, what will also increase its value.

In many cases you don’t even have an option to choose among renovation or new produced part, but the reason is not the quality, but more or less in the model. We, at Prekom always focus on the quality, no matter for which option we decide. No matter if your Porsche or Ferrari will have rebuild or new produced Prekom parts assembled on, you can be certain that your car will not let you down.
