Trademark Disclaimer

Effective 3 May 2026. This page sets out the relationship (or, more accurately, the absence of any relationship) between this site and Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

1. Independent supplier — no affiliation

Mercedes Spares Scrap Yard (trading as Used Mercedes Parts SA) is an independent South African aftermarket and used-parts supplier operating from 67 Tulip Road, R114 Monavoni, Centurion.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, authorised by, or in any way connected to Mercedes-Benz Group AG (formerly Daimler AG) or any of its subsidiaries, dealers, franchisees or authorised repairers. We are not a Mercedes-Benz franchised dealer. We are not a Mercedes-Benz authorised workshop.

2. How we use the Mercedes-Benz name

The names “Mercedes”, “Mercedes-Benz”, “Benz”, all model designations (e.g. C-Class, W204, W212, GLE, Sprinter, AMG), the three-pointed-star device, and all OEM part numbers shown on this site are registered trademarks of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

We reference them on this site solely for the purpose of identifying the vehicles for which our parts are compatible. This use is permitted by section 34(2)(c) of the South African Trade Marks Act 194 of 1993 (which permits bona-fide descriptive use of a trademark to indicate the intended purpose of accessories or spare parts) and by the equivalent “nominative fair use” doctrine under US, EU and UK law.

Where an OEM part number is shown, it is for cross-reference identification only — to help you confirm the part you need will fit. The part we supply may be a genuine OEM unit or a quality aftermarket equivalent; we confirm which in the written quote.

3. Genuine OEM vs aftermarket

Our catalogue contains both:

  • Used genuine OEM parts — stripped from donor vehicles in our Centurion yard, bench-tested where applicable.
  • New aftermarket parts — manufactured by third-party brands (Bosch, Hella, Mahle, Febi, etc.) to fit Mercedes-Benz vehicles. These are not Mercedes-Benz branded parts.

Every quote we issue states clearly which category the part falls into. If you specifically require a Mercedes-Benz branded part in original packaging, please tell us at quote stage so we can confirm before invoicing.

4. No manufacturer warranty implied

No part supplied by us carries a Mercedes-Benz Group AG manufacturer warranty unless that warranty is still active on a genuine OEM unit and is transferable. The warranty cover we provide on parts we supply is set out in our Warranty Policy and is independent of any Mercedes-Benz warranty.

5. No diagnostic or workshop services

We supply parts only. We do not perform fitment, roadworthy testing, diagnostics, programming, coding or any workshop service. Where coding or programming is required for a part to function (e.g. SCN coding for control modules), that work is to be carried out by a qualified independent workshop or a Mercedes-Benz franchised dealer.

6. Imagery

Catalogue product images on this site are studio renders produced by us from reference photographs. They depict the type of part you will receive, not the exact unit. Vehicle photography on hub pages and chassis pages is AI-generated for illustration only and is not stock photography sourced from Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

7. Reporting infringement

If you are a representative of Mercedes-Benz Group AG and believe any specific use on this site exceeds the identification-purposes carve-out, please email [email protected] with the URL and the concern. We respond within five business days.

8. Governing law

This disclaimer is governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa and forms part of our Terms of Service.
