Basco says its market-leading kits bridge OEM and aftermarket excellence

Australia’s automotive aftermarket is built on trust – trust that every component will perform, fit, and last.
Basco says that for its team, that trust is earned daily through an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
“At the core of this is our market-leading range of repair kits, which perfectly capture how OEM precision and aftermarket flexibility can work hand in hand to deliver the best outcomes for workshops across the country,” Basco General Manager, William Lucas, said.
“Basco’s repair kits have set a new benchmark in the industry. Unlike traditional, one-brand kits, each Basco kit combines the best components from both OEM and premium aftermarket brands, delivering an unrivalled balance of reliability, availability, and value.
“Our ability to tailor each kit – using the highest-quality components, whether OEM or aftermarket – is what makes Basco different.
“It means we can always maintain stock, guarantee performance, and keep workshops moving.
“This unique approach not only allows Basco to offer exceptional coverage across a wide range of vehicles but also ensures that every kit delivers the same performance standards that professional repairers demand.
“It is a system built around choice, quality, and dependability – values that define the modern Australian aftermarket.”
From wheel bearings, hubs, control arms to tensioners and power steering kits, Basco explains that its aftermarket range is sourced from trusted global partners and tested for consistent performance under real-world conditions.
“Behind every Basco repair kit lies a foundation of quality aftermarket components that meet or exceed OEM standards,” Will said.
“Our aftermarket line is built for workshops that want confidence without compromise. It is cost-effective, accessible, and proven – all while delivering the reliability mechanics expect from OEM-grade parts.
“This commitment to quality has made Basco a preferred partner for resellers, workshops, and independent repairers looking to deliver quality results without dealership prices or delays.”
How OEM complements the aftermarket
While Basco’s strength lies in its aftermarket expertise, the company says it also recognises the vital role OEM components play in today’s repair landscape.
“Many workshops rely on OEM parts for precision fitment or to service vehicles still under manufacturer warranty – and Basco ensures they have access to those, too,” Will said.
“From Jtekt-Koyo, Timken, NSK, INA Schaeffler, NTN, SKF, and Gates, Basco’s OEM portfolio delivers the quality and confidence that professional technicians rely on.
“In some cases, we have OEM stock ready before dealerships do. That gives workshops a serious edge – faster turnaround times and fewer hold-ups for their customers.”
By combining this OEM depth with Basco’s aftermarket breadth, the company says it provides a complete solution that keeps vehicles on the road and businesses thriving.
Filling the gaps: purpose-built aftermarket solutions
Even the best OEM brands can’t cover every application, and Basco says that is where its aftermarket range steps in.
“Rather than being a substitute, these components are purpose-built to fill the gaps, ensuring workshops never have to delay a repair due to unavailable OEM stock,” Will said.
“As strong as OEM brands are, they don’t always cover every vehicle or variant. That’s where our aftermarket range steps up – it is not a cheaper option, it is a complete solution.
“Every Basco component – OEM or aftermarket – is sourced through a rigorous quality assurance process and supported by an expert procurement team that understands workshop needs.
“Basco’s success comes down to one defining principle: quality is non-negotiable. From sourcing and packaging to logistics and delivery, every decision is made with the workshop in mind.
“Our mission is simple – we keep workshops moving. That means having the right part – whether it is an OEM component or a Basco repair kit – available at the right time and the right price. That’s what sets Basco apart.”
