Genuine Car Parts vs. OEM vs. Aftermarket
Genuine, OEM and Aftermarket car parts.
Genuine Car Parts
Definition: Genuine auto parts are made by third-party suppliers but have the car manufacturer’s logo.
Quality: These parts meet high-quality standards set by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Cost: Generally expensive due to rigorous quality control and the inclusion of a robust warranty.
Advantage: They match the original parts installed in your vehicle and come with assurance of performance and longevity.
OEM Car Parts
Definition: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same manufacturers as genuine parts but without the car maker’s logo.
Example: BMW partners with Lamfoerder to produce both genuine and OEM parts.
Cost: Usually cheaper than genuine parts as they come with a less comprehensive warranty.
Advantage: OEM parts ensure reliable vehicle performance and are often used by dealerships when genuine parts are unavailable.
Aftermarket Car Parts
Definition: Aftermarket parts are made by various companies and can vary widely in quality.
Range of Quality: They can be equal to, worse, or sometimes better than OEM parts.
Example: Some aftermarket manufacturers improve on original parts, like URO’s aluminum intake manifold levers for Mercedes engines, which last longer than the original plastic ones.
Risk: Inconsistent quality control means some parts may not be durable. It’s important to choose reputable brands.
Advantage: They can be less expensive and offer customization options, such as colored silicone hoses or unique body kits.
