Importance of OEM Replacement Parts
In simplest terms, purchasing genuine OEM parts for your vehicle–and then having them installed by a certified technician or mechanic–guarantees that two of your most valuable resources–your time and your money–are spent as sparingly as possible. Read on to find out why this is with us here at Gunn Collision in San Antonio, where ordering and installing genuine Acura, Nissan, GM, and Honda OEM parts has never been easier.
Why Purchasing Genuine OEM Parts After an Accident is Important
We know that broken parts produce a unique migraine for car owners, and that cheaper parts at a non-manufacturer sourced dealership or auto body may seem like the only solution to a car repair problem. However the installation of non-OEM parts is often a main cause of faulty or underperforming car repairs. Check out some of the differences and various outcomes between using aftermarket and manufacturer-sourced OEM parts.
What to Expect with Aftermarket or Non-OEM Parts
- Lack of quality and safety guarantees
- Wide selection of the same type of part, often resulting in body shops mistaking one part for another and installing it in your vehicle regardless
- Considerably smaller probability of the part actually working the way it should
- Indirect, unintended car damage due to side effects of operating with a faulty part
- Cheap prices for cheaper quality and short term durability
- Part returns and repurchasing of the same part shortly after purchase
What to Expect with Manufacturer-Sourced OEM Parts
- Parts specifically tailored to your vehicle
- Quality and safety guarantees
- Purchases completed at dealerships that are continuously informed and supplied by the manufacturer of part updates and improvements
- Parts come with a warranty and clear warranty information
- Higher prices that reflect higher quality and longer durability
