If you have ever sought help from a used auto parts store looking for parts, a service technician may have asked you if you want OEM, aftermarket, or original auto parts. Although the differences are often small, the quality level of each of them can be significant. Below we explain the differences between each of them and which the best for your car is. Grade Auto Parts offers a wide selection of auto parts. If you are looking for a specific auto component, please ask us.
Car manufacturers make their parts?
There was a time when car manufacturers assembled every detail of their cars. However, these times are long gone, since most manufacturers now conclude contracts with other companies for the production of parts for them. This is not necessarily bad, because many companies specialize in developing and creating these parts for specific manufacturers. Therefore, they are developed not otherwise and no less qualitatively.
Breaking up various types of auto parts
Spare parts are classified by the companies that built them, or how and when you buy them. Let’s describe and compare the parts.
Genuine. The original part is the auto component that was installed in your car when it was first manufactured. Original parts are more expensive than any other type of auto parts because they have a company logo. Keep in mind that genuine parts are not necessarily better than genuine parts or spare parts. We can give you recommendations on what parts to buy, based on the quality and performance of the parts, and not those who manufactured them.
OEM – Parts of the equipment manufacturer (OEM) are manufactured by the company that originally produced parts for the car manufacturer. The original parts that we carry exactly match the parts that come with your car. The difference is that it does not have a manufacturer logo. OEM parts are as reliable as the original ones, but you get them at a better price.
Aftermarket. Once a car is built, companies can make parts that will work for that car. To do this, they buy the right to manufacture parts. The parts of the aftermarket that we sell are not always similar to the original or original parts, but they perform the function necessary to drive the car. Just as you can trust OEM parts, you can also rely on spare parts to work properly.
