Brabus Authentication Checker

 Authentication Checker

If you are contemplating or have already purchased your BRABUS vehicle, why not get in touch to see if your BRABUS is authentic? We offer an in-house genuine parts verification service for all BRABUS models to avoid being caught out.

Unfortunately, there are some non-genuine BRABUS models with most of them being based on the G63. This is a worldwide issue and some of these are being sold here in the UK. These vehicles have been fitted with inferior parts made of low quality materials and with serious fitment issues, causing major problems down the line. We have come across serious safety issues in regards to these non-genuine builds. This can cause vehicle Insurance to be invalid should a situation arise. It will also affect the re-sale value of the vehicle, leading to losses and devaluing the original vehicle price due to non-genuine parts being fitted. Non-Genuine vehicles are often priced attractively low and will not have official BRABUS paperwork/documentation available, this is often a telltale sign that the vehicle isn’t a genuine BRABUS vehicle and should be avoided. We have previously been contacted by many high-profile reputable dealerships that have unfortunately unknowingly purchased/sold a non-genuine BRABUS vehicle, the easiest way to ensure that the vehicle you are interested in purchasing is a genuine build is to contact us with the vehicle details. Here are some examples for the untrained eye.

BRABUS CARBON FIBRE ENGINE COVER WITH BRABUS PLAQUES

All BRABUS vehicles with a PowerXtra upgrade include a BRABUS engine cover with BRABUS branded plaques, many non-genuine vehicles are being advertised online branded with BRABUS horsepower logos (Such as 800 or 700) but do not have the correct engine cover. From our previous inspections of such vehicles, most do not have any power increase over a standard G63, some even have an unreliable remap that has not been stress tested, to increase the horsepower output which can be detrimental to the engine’s health and longevity. These vehicles of course are not covered by the BRABUS tuning guarantee, leaving you to cover the unexpected costs.

To the untrained eye, this can be a huge financial loss if not detected prior to purchase, we have been contacted by many individuals in the UK that have been unknowingly misled.  Some reputable dealerships have sold non-genuine BRABUS vehicles without having any idea, as well other dealers that are selling or converting such vehicles knowingly. Certain companies in the UK even fraudulently claim to be associated with BRABUS - setting up websites showing them being a BRABUS dealer. Hence why we are assisting any potential purchases to avoid such issues with the help of our fully qualified BRABUS technicians to guide you. If you would like to know which dealers are genuine, please feel free to get in touch.

We have a team on hand to assist in such cases if required. We also welcome any dealerships that would like any advice on non-genuine BRABUS models, so that they also do not get caught out unknowingly with such issues.
