When you schedule repairs at Middletown Mazda, we always use OEM Mazda parts when a component requires replacement. Here’s a primer on OEM parts and why they’re a far better option than aftermarket parts.
OEM vs Aftermarket
OEM—Original Equipment Manufacturer—parts are made by the same manufacturer that created your vehicle, so you can guarantee their quality. They will be identical to your current part and are made specifically to fit in your vehicle.
Aftermarket parts are made by third-party companies. Some car owners gravitate towards aftermarket parts because the cost of the part alone is cheaper on average. However, you may sacrifice quality. Aftermarket parts are designed for use for vehicles across models and brands. Unlike OEM components, they’re not designed specifically for your model and trim. What you get is a part that may not last as long and delivers less than optimal performance.
Benefits of OEM Parts
OEM parts offer numerous benefits that make them a worthwhile investment:
- OEM parts often last longer and extend the interval between repairs
- Some OEM parts improve vehicle performance, such as increased fuel efficiency
- Use of OEM parts falls within warranty guidelines, and they also come with their own warranties
- OEM parts may optimize car value when selling or trading the vehicle
