Bosch Parts -- any general opinion

i like their tools. and the wipers are excellent. hopefully they apply the same quality process to everything they make.

 

I have a Bosch gas stove and baking oven it is good so far (5 years)
Out of automotive, I have only used Bosch wipers, and they were good but not outstanding.

Any national brand oil filter can go 5000 miles without issue.

That said, I'm not a big fan of Bosch for Japanese cars

 

This is the best thread I've seen on oil filter comparisons. Don't know if Bosch is in the mix, but it's worth reading for anyone comparison shopping for oil filters.

i'm not impressed with their dishwashers. they're okay, but nothing to write home about.

 

I've used a lot of Bosch parts on our old Volvos and they were good quality. I think they were OEM for a lot of the ignition and fuel injection system on the old 240s. I don't know about their other product lines.

 

For car parts it’s pretty much the same with every manufacturer, if the original part was made by them then their part is probably very good quality. This is just because if they make part that’s up to car manufacturers standards then why make it any different when selling it with their own name.

Bosch car batteries do have a good reputation. Here in some smaller places you can just find Bosch or some unknown manufacturer car batteries.

Bosch does sell lots of those multi point spark plugs which aren’t really useful if your car didn’t come with them from factory.

Bosch wiper blades are known from their bad quality. Many times they do leave lines right from the box. And if you get the one that doesn’t do that it will still only last about half a year compared to even most of no name once that last a full year.
