AAB conducts anti-counterfeit spare parts awareness drive

Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros Co. W.L.L., (AAB) the sole distributor for Toyota & Lexus vehicles in Qatar, conducted anti-counterfeit spare parts awareness programme with the slogan ‘Toyota Says No to Counterfeit’. The campaign was held at its main workshop training centre at Street 6 in the Industrial Area.
The event is part of AAB’s continuous educational and advocacy programme for customers with the aim of promoting Toyota Genuine Parts awareness. Toyota Genuine Parts & Toyota Quality Services are designed with the highest standards in all its processes to keep the Toyota cars running for years to come.
AAB advises all Toyota customers to visit the certified Toyota Service Centres and authorised dealers across Qatar for quality service and genuine parts. Non-genuine parts may look like the real thing but they have not been made, selected or approved by the maker of the car and have never been tested as an integral component of the vehicle by the manufacturer. Non-genuine parts cannot promise the same quality and safety attributes that come with a genuine part.
It was highlighted during the programme that some outlets in Qatar are unauthorised agents illegally using the Toyota Genuine Parts Logo without AAB’s approval. AAB is unable to certify that parts sold through such shops are Toyota Genuine Parts.
In the fight against Counterfeit items, AAB appreciates the initiatives by the Consumer Protection Department including Market Watch and Gulf Consumer Protection Week which highlighted using Genuine Spare Parts and Products.
As part of the programme, AAB Spare Parts Department organised the Genuine Parts and Counterfeit Exhibition, engine and transmission function demonstration, genuine parts and quality service video presentation at their Service Centre Training Center. Appointed AAB Dealers, selected representatives from government organisations as well as the public attended the sessions.
