What to Expect When You Buy a Mavrik Part

If all you've ever purchased are OEM replacement parts, switching to an OEM-equivalent like Mavrik™ may seem a little daunting. Are you making the right choice? What can you expect in terms of quality and performance?

Fortunately, there's no need to be apprehensive about your purchase. Many industries, like the automotive industry, have embraced use of OEM equivalents as standard practice, and it's time for the foodservice industry to do the same.

Here's what you can expect when you buy a Mavrik part.

Mavrik's quality

One thing you don't have to worry about when you receive a Mavrik part is its quality. Mavrik parts are required to meet strict quality standards and receive the same certifications as OEM parts.

Mavrik parts are often manufactured in the same plant as their OEM counterparts, using the same materials and processes. When you order a Mavrik part, even though it's at a much more accessible price point, you're getting the same quality and durability as you would with an OEM part.

Mavrik's aesthetic

You might have heard that OEM equivalents sometimes look different from their OEM counterparts, and that's true. For one, an OEM equivalent won't have the same branding or logo as the OEM part since that branding is often what costs more.

Another reason a Mavrik parts might look a little different is that it could correct deficiencies or inefficiencies the manufacturer might not have recognized. One key advantage of Mavrik parts is the occasional opportunity to improve on the original part.

Even OEM parts don't always look the same as the original part, as manufacturers make updates to their parts or experience supply chain availability for materials.

So, when you receive a Mavrik part that doesn't look exactly like its replacement, as long as it fits into the machine properly, there's no need to worry. Parts aesthetics don't dictate performance.

Mavrik's performance

Performance is another aspect you don't need to wonder about when you purchase a Mavrik part. Several independent studies have confirmed Mavrik parts function just as well as their OEM counterparts.

If the company is willing to back up its claims with a warranty, it's a good indication that they have trust in their parts' performance. Mavrik parts are all backed by an industry-leading 180-day warranty, double the time of most OEM parts, allowing you to try Mavrik parts risk free.

Providing variety to the foodservice industry

It's time for the foodservice industry to embrace more parts options. Adding Mavrik parts to the mix allows service techs and dealers alike to have more parts options to choose from.

No longer beholden to OEM prices

Having more viable options available to the industry allows purchasers freedom from OEM parts price points. Mavrik offers more opportunity for parts savings.

Studies have found that Mavrik parts are an average of 29% cheaper than OEM parts, equaling an average savings of $12.85 per part. That savings can certainly add up over time.

More availability for better access

Adding Mavrik parts to the mix also allows for better parts availability for service technicians. You no longer must rely solely on OEM availability for the ability to make repairs. And since the entire industry is experiencing supply chain issues, now is the time to embrace alternative sources for foodservice parts and supplies.

Having easy access to the parts they need allows service techs to be more efficient on service calls and helps increase their first-time fix rates.
