What to Consider Before Accessorising
Sure, car accessories can be exciting, but there are a few key things to keep in mind before you commit.
-
Genuine vs Non-Genuine Accessories
Genuine Suzuki accessories are made to fit your vehicle perfectly and have been tested for safety and durability. Accessories and parts not made by Suzuki? Not so much. They could even void your warranty.
-
Fitment Quality
Even the best accessories for your car can become a problem if they’re not installed correctly. Always have your accessories fitted by an authorised Suzuki service centre.
-
Impact on Warranty
Adding non-approved parts or poor installations could put your warranty at risk. Don’t let a cool-looking spoiler come back to bite you (or literally spoil your vibe).
When choosing genuine Suzuki accessories, here’s something to think about: When accessories are fitted at the point of sale (that’s during your Pre-Delivery Inspection, or PDI), they carry the same warranty period as your vehicle. But if you add them later, you’ll only get a 1-year unlimited-kilometre accessory warranty. So if you're planning to customise, it pays to do it upfront!
-
Durability and Safety
Cheap car accessories wear out faster and may compromise your car’s performance or safety, especially in emergencies.
Whether you're all about bold decals and body kits or just want a boot liner to save you from that Sunday evening chaos clean-up, car accessories are a brilliant way to make your Suzuki even more you.
The key is choosing upgrades that add genuine value. Like we said, it’s not just about good looks (although we do love those too), it’s about comfort, function, and protecting the long-term performance of your ride.
Stick with genuine Suzuki accessories, get them fitted professionally, and think long-term. Your Suzuki deserves the very best.
