Do I need my Model Number?

Thankfully the model number is almost always on the machine. For our complete guide to finding model numbers, see here →

Are your parts genuine?

The vast majority of our parts are genuine, direct from the OEM supplier either in Australia or overseas. Occasionally we discover alternative sources for identical parts, particularly on imported boutique brands, so we take advantage in order to offer better prices to our customers. Unlike some others we refuse to stock non-genuine parts that are not of identical or better quality to the genuine part, and we will never tell you a part is genuine if it is not.
