OEM, or original equipment parts, are vital to the safe operation of your vehicle. Original equipment parts come from the original equipment manufacturer and fit your vehicle perfectly, making them the perfect replacement when your vehicle needs repair. Read on to learn more about why you should choose your Bay Area Subaru dealer and OEM parts for your next repair on your Subaru.
1. Quality Assurance
Choosing an OEM part for your Subaru ensures that you will receive a part for your vehicle that fits and functions exactly as the piece you are replacing. This means it’s the same part as when the vehicle was manufactured, providing you with the peace of mind that it will perform exactly like you need it to. There is no doubt about the quality of an OEM part.
2. Ease of Access
When you bring your vehicle into the dealership for service, you have easy access to many original equipment parts. The dealership keeps these parts on hand so you can have your vehicle repaired quickly with quality parts and get back onto the road with little delay.
3. Easy Selection
There are thousands of aftermarket parts available for vehicles with differing levels of quality from hundreds of brands, which means choosing the correct part can be overwhelming. Alternatively, selecting the correct OEM part is simple. All you have to do is look up the manufacturer, year, make, and model. The dealership can pull the OEM part and repair your car without the fuss of researching the reliability of different brands.
4. Warranty
Don’t get caught purchasing a lower-quality part without a warranty. Most auto manufacturers are confident about the quality of their original equipment parts and will back them with at least a one-year warranty. In addition to the part warranty, when you have your vehicle prepared at your local dealership, many will stand by their labor.
This means you can be positive that the part and labor are of good quality, and if something were to happen, you aren’t hung out to dry. Choosing an aftermarket part can cut costs in the short run. However, installing aftermarket parts can have the unintended consequence of voiding your vehicle’s warranty.
5. Collision Repair
Ensure that you choose original equipment parts when you are repairing your vehicle after a collision. Aftermarket parts, including body panels, may not fit your vehicle perfectly or have the proper crumple zones, making your vehicle less safe.
