Benefits of Going with OEM Parts | Royal Moore Buick GMC
When it comes to getting work on your vehicle, all service requests aren't created equal. Have you heard of using OEM parts to repair or maintain your car? If not, they provide many benefits over aftermarket parts, and we at Royal Moore Buick GMC always recommend them to our clients. Read why they are always the best option.
What are OEM Parts?
OEM parts are made by the same company that manufactured your vehicle. That might seem like an unnecessary distinction, but it's an important one. Aftermarket parts are made by a variety of companies and they might not always adhere to the same quality standards.
OEM stands for “original equipment manufacturer.” That means the parts were designed to work with your specific make and model of car from the very beginning. Aftermarket parts are made to fit a variety of vehicles, so they might not always be the perfect match for your car.
Why Should I Use OEM Parts?
There are several reasons to use OEM parts, and we'll explain the benefits in more detail below.
- Quality- The main one is quality. OEM parts are held to a higher quality standard because they're made by the same company that made your car. That means they're more likely to fit correctly and to last as long as the original part did. If you use aftermarket parts, you might have to replace them more often, and they might not fit as well.
- Cost- This is where servicing your vehicle can get a little confusing if you're trying to save money. Yes, it's true that aftermarket parts are almost always cheaper than OEM. However, you're sacrificing the same quality as we already discussed above. It's proven that using OEM parts will actually save you money in the long run because you won't have to keep replacing them.
- Better performance- Your car was designed to work with OEM parts. That means that those are the parts that will perform the best in your vehicle. Aftermarket parts might not always be compatible, and they could actually end up damaging your car. Many of the vehicles that last well beyond 100,000 miles have had only OEM parts used for servicing. Some specific examples of how these parts impact your car include better fuel efficiency and less wear and tear on the engine.
- Warranty- This is a big one, and it's often forgotten. If you use aftermarket parts on your car and something goes wrong, your warranty could be voided. That means you'll have to pay for any repairs out of your own pocket, even if they're related to the original problem.
- Better resale value- If you're planning to sell your vehicle anytime in the near future, you'll have a better chance of getting top dollar for it if you've used only OEM parts. That's because potential buyers will know that the quality of the car has been maintained, and they won't have to worry about repairs anytime soon. Also, if you sell to a dealership like Royal Moore Buick GMC, we'll give you a better offer if your car has only had OEM parts used.
- Peace of mind- Finally, you can't underestimate the peace of mind you'll have by using OEM parts. Who wants to worry about breaking down on the side of the road or having to replace a part sooner than expected? By using only OEM parts, you can rest assured that your car is in good hands.
