Benefits of Using OEM Parts for Your Dealership

Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, is the original producer of an automobile’s components. OEM parts are effectively identical to those that are used when producing a vehicle. These parts have a consistent level of quality and compatibility with the vehicle that needs replacement parts.

5 Benefits of Using OEM Parts for Your Dealership

1. Quality Assurance

Because it is the same part as the one originally installed in the vehicle, OEM components can bring peace of mind to consumers when it comes to the parts’ quality and performance. There is no gamble with faulty or low-quality aftermarket products.

2. High-Quality Selection

Aftermarket parts offer an overwhelming selection of parts with different quality and brands, which can become confusing for the consumer. OEM components are guaranteed to be high quality, every time.

3. Guaranteed to Fit

Since the parts are made by a specific manufacturer and adhere to the vehicle’s precise specifications, OEM components are guaranteed to fit perfectly, every time.

4. Increased Innovation

OEM companies are competing with aftermarket products, and as a result, are regularly innovating product lines and supply chains to ensure the delivery of a first-rate product with competitive pricing.

5. Increased Longevity

Using OEM components increases the longevity and performance of a vehicle, while aftermarket parts can potentially damage the vehicle since it’s a generic product and not specific to the car that needs replacement parts.

OEM Accessories and Parts

OEM components can consist of basic automotive parts, like brakes and rotors, but can also include pieces that enhance the style of the vehicle. This includes items such as windshield wipers, floor mats, mirrors, and roof mount bike attachments.

The Difference Between OEM and Aftermarket Parts

When consumers need replacement parts, OEM components are built to match the exact specifications of a vehicle so they always fit the part that needs replacing perfectly. Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are produced by a company that is different from the company contracted by the automotive manufacturer and are not guaranteed the perfect fit, nor the high-quality product like those in the OEM market.

While aftermarket parts can have a smaller price point than OEM, there is such a wide variety of aftermarket parts available that the selection can be convoluted and in many cases, are lower quality when compared to OEM components. OEM components are guaranteed to always be a perfect fit and work just as well as the original part being replaced.
