If your car needs repair, one of the decisions you’ll have to make is whether to use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or aftermarket parts. This choice can impact the quality, longevity, and cost of your repair. At Edem Body Shop, we want to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for your vehicle.
OEM Parts: Pros and Cons
OEM parts are manufactured by the vehicle’s original manufacturer, ensuring that they fit and function exactly as intended. They offer guaranteed quality and are often backed by a warranty from the manufacturer. The downside is that OEM parts can be more expensive, and your insurance company may not always cover the full cost if aftermarket parts are available.
Aftermarket Parts: Pros and Cons
Aftermarket parts are made by third-party manufacturers and can vary in quality. Some aftermarket parts meet or exceed OEM standards, but others may not fit perfectly or may be made with lower-quality materials. However, aftermarket parts are often cheaper, which can make them an attractive option for those trying to minimize repair costs.
