Having a car full of only OEM parts has lots of benefits both right now and down the line. Used cars full of OEM components are highly reliable, and you’ll spend less on repairs over time if you stick to replacing your car parts with OEM components. When you need repairs, it’s always worth making sure you only use OEM components whether the car is new or used.

They Cost Less in the Long Run

You’ll pay a little more upfront for OEM components, but you’ll pay significantly less for them in the long run. You see, OEM components last a long time and work better with the parts already in your vehicle. For that reason, you won’t need to replace them as often as you’ll need to replace generic parts.

Generic parts are cheap upfront because they’re made from inexpensive materials and aren’t manufactured to the same standards as OEM components. However, they’re very expensive in the long run, especially if there are compatibility issues that cause other parts of your car to fail.

They’re Compatible With the Parts in Your Car

Every part in your car has been fine-tuned to work in tandem with every other part in the vehicle. If you replace the original part with a component that isn’t an exact match for the one it’s replacing, then you’re not guaranteed 100% compatibility.

Generic parts don’t always work perfectly with the existing components in your car. That can cause issues as time goes on, leading you to need repairs on multiple parts in your vehicle.

They’re Really Easy to Get

It’s super easy to get your hands on OEM components, so they’re perfect for making sure your repair is done quickly. Dealers tend to keep lots of commonly replaced parts in stock, so when you go in for a repair or replacement, the dealer can just grab a component they already have on hand.

Even if the dealer doesn’t have the part you need, ordering it is no trouble. Dealers have existing relationships with parts manufacturers, so they can simply order the part you need and get their hands on it quickly.

They’re the Best Quality Parts Available

Parts made by the original equipment manufacturer are always the best quality parts you’ll find for your car. They’re made of the same high-quality materials as the parts already in your vehicle, and they’re made based on the manufacturer’s exact design. They also undergo rigorous quality testing before they can be sold, so you’re absolutely guaranteed the best quality parts for your car when you choose OEM components.
