What are the differences between original spare parts and quality OEM products?

First of all, it is important to define the name "Aftermarket part" and other names for spare parts.

- Genuine Parts are installed by the vehicle manufacturer during the first assembly.

- OEM auto parts - these can also be original parts and, although they are made to order by the automaker for its assembly lines, they bear the logo of the part manufacturer rather than the name of the vehicle manufacturer.

- Aftermarket products are inexpensive auto parts, the quality of which is comparable with the original products and confirmed by the appropriate certificates.

- Non certified parts of lesser known brands.

The main differences between the original and Aftermarket products are:

- Recommendation of the car manufacturer;

- Cost of the part;

- Service life and warranty period;

- Brand of the manufacturer;

- Various quality certificates.

One of the main factors in choosing any product is its price. It simply makes sense that many might lean towards inexpensive Aftermarket parts.

When should you buy Genuine products, and when is it possible to use quality Aftermarket products?

- If you can, always buy original parts (especially if the price difference is not that big).

- In new cars that are still under warranty. Using Aftermarket parts will void your warranty.

- In rare or old cars, try to replace damaged or worn spare parts with the original ones, so you can keep your vehicle in pristine condition.

- If you conduct a repair or part replacement, it is better to go with the genuine spare part as this will allow you to avoid any compatibility issues.

- In all other cases, you can quite successfully use Aftermarket, but only the quality Aftermarket spare parts not the fake ones. For example, your car is no longer under warranty, and it is an old model with high mileage, so it only makes sense to use non-originals, in case you need to replace, let's say, light bulbs or air filters. Although the service life of the product might be shorter, you can potentially save a lot of money going this route.

Whether you're looking for Genuine products or high quality, inexpensive Aftermarket auto parts, always buy them from trusted suppliers to avoid potential issues and save yourself time and money.
