| Aug 3, 2018 at 17:14 | comment | added | James Wilson | @SolarMike so you are saying, in the case of the examples I gave, both gsp and bta provided parts to honda or are approved by them to provide parts equal to the original equipment? | |

I'd bet (don't know for sure) some parts manufacturers don't sell directly to the consumer, but sell their parts to auto manufacturers or to 2nd party resellers (middle men). If you don't know who makes parts for the auto manufacturer in the first place, you may not ever know who actually makes the part. | |
