FAQs OEM Auto Parts
Replacing car parts as they wear out is part of the fun for car enthusiasts. Many people will often opt for OEM parts, as opposed to aftermarket parts. This is usually because OEM parts are far more likely to meet the buyer’s budget.
However, there are many frequently asked questions where OEM parts are concerned. We’ve compiled the most common questions and their answers here for you.
What Does OEM Stand For?
OEM means Original Manufacturing Parts. This is a general term used for parts for cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Are These Parts Under Warranty?
Yes, these parts do come with a warranty. However, it’s important to check how long the warranty lasts on each part. Not all warranties are the same.
Do I Need a VIN Number?
Yes, it will be important to have a VIN number for your vehicle. Without a VIN, you won’t be able to choose the right part for your vehicle.
Can I Install The Parts Myself?
Many OEM parts can be installed by someone with minimal mechanical knowledge. However, none of the parts come with installation instructions so it’s often best to ask for advice before trying to install parts yourself.
OEM vs Aftermarket Parts
OEM parts offer a quality that you won’t find elsewhere. If you’re looking for durability with your vehicle parts, OEM should always be your first choice. In addition to affordability, you’re also installing parts that were originally used on your vehicle so you can be sure you’re investing in the best.
Can I Use OEM Parts After a Collision?
Many car enthusiasts like to extend their knowledge of vehicles by repairing cars that have been in collisions. However, OEM parts are not suitable for this. If a vehicle has been damaged, it’s unlikely the OEM parts will fit properly.
