Although reconditioning of existing parts for your overhaul is typically a more cost-effective option than using new parts, there are also risks involved. For example, there might be a lack of workshop capacity or a shortage of parts needed in reconditioning, or you might not know the condition of the parts until you can inspect them. The Wärtsilä Exchange Parts service helps you avoid these risks and potentially costly delays.
The Wärtsilä Exchange Parts service is a great way to ensure a smooth overhaul. This is because the parts are pre-inspected and reconditioned, remanufactured or re-calibrated by Wärtsilä experts, so you can use them right away.
You simply buy the parts you need, install them and then return the old parts to Wärtsilä in exchange. This avoids the need to wait for your old parts to be reconditioned before you can proceed with the overhaul.
Exchange Parts from Wärtsilä are genuine, high-quality original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. They are delivered with a full warranty.
