What Are the Benefits of OEM Chevy Parts?

OEM, or “original equipment manufacturer” parts are made by the manufacturer—or, in this case, Chevrolet specifically. These auto parts are built using the same materials as the genuine OEM pieces you’re replacing in your Chevy vehicle. Compared to aftermarket parts, OEM Chevy parts are more expensive, but offer greater reliability. Bakersfield and Porterville Chevrolet owners can learn more about the benefits of OEM Chevrolet parts below, then shop our available Chevy parts online today!

What Are Aftermarket Parts?

Car manufacturers like Chevrolet don’t produce aftermarket parts. These auto parts are manufactured by a third party, or a company other than Chevy. Aftermarket Chevy parts are built at a high volume and designed to fit the specifications of a wide range of cars from different makes, not just Chevrolet vehicles.

They’re often more affordable than OEM Chevy parts, but that’s usually because they, at best, fit mediocrely. Auto manufacturers don’t recommend aftermarket parts for this reason. While aftermarket parts can seem like a great deal at the moment, they don’t meet OEM quality standards and often last a lot shorter than high-quality parts do.

Chevy OEM Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

Other than quality, here are a few more reasons to choose OEM Chevrolet parts:

  • Less Overwhelming Selection: Whether you’re shopping for replacement Chevy parts or special performance parts, you won’t have to worry about comparing quality and price. You’ll get the right part at a reasonable price without all the second-guessing.
  • Reliability: Aftermarket Chevy parts, sourced from third-party manufacturers, vary in quality and consistency, posing potential challenges in fit, performance, and enduring dependability.
  • Warranty Coverage: OEM Chevy parts are covered with a Limited Parts Warranty. Using an aftermarket part could jeopardize your warranty coverage if it can be proven that the part caused damage to your vehicle.
