OEM parts are parts that were made by the company that originally manufactured the components in your vehicle. When you visit your trusted Jeep dealership for repairs and parts replacements, the mechanic will always use OEM components to make sure your vehicle runs as smoothly as it possibly can. There are many benefits to only fitting your vehicle with OEM components, and we’re going to explore them below.
1. The Materials Are High Quality
OEM components are always made with very high-quality materials. Because they’re always made with these high-quality materials, you’re guaranteed that the OEM components in your car aren’t going to easily break down and cause problems with how the car functions in the same manner that lower-quality parts may.
Aftermarket or generic parts don’t have to be made with the same materials as OEM components are crafted. Often, they’re manufactured using lower-quality materials to cut costs. Therefore, aftermarket parts overall can never match the quality of OEM ones.
2. The Parts Are Long-Lasting
Because OEM components are made with high-quality materials, they’re going to last you a very long time. Aftermarket parts tend to break down much faster than OEM ones due to their low-quality construction, so you’ll have to replace them more often. This leads to you spending more money replacing aftermarket parts in the long run. It can also be very inconvenient to have the parts of your car break down regularly.
3. The OEM Components Are Easy to Replace
OEM components are made to fit into your vehicle perfectly. They’re always made to fit specific models without adjustments. This means the replacement parts will work seamlessly with all the other components in your vehicle, and you won’t run into trouble caused by ill-fitting parts.
Aftermarket parts are made to fit into as many vehicles as possible. Some may require adjustments before they fit into your car, meaning the fit is rarely perfect. It’s not always that easy to replace components of your car with aftermarket parts due to the adjustments needed before the components will fit.
4. The Quality Is Consistent
You may get an aftermarket part that lasts for years in your vehicle without issues. Then again, you might replace it with an aftermarket part that only lasts a year before it breaks down. You won’t have this inconsistency of quality with OEM components. Every single time you put an OEM component in your car, it’s practically guaranteed to be as high quality and long-lasting as the component it replaced. You can trust OEM components more than aftermarket ones.
