Benefits of Genuine Ford OEM Parts

Genuine Ford parts, or Ford OEM parts, are critical to keeping your Ford like-new for the long haul on Anoka roads. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and OEM car parts are simply the same ones your vehicle left the factory with, built by the same supplier. Ford OEM parts are of highly consistent quality, which is less true of aftermarket parts some choose to go with on their vehicles. To learn more about OEM parts and their advantages compared to aftermarket parts, don’t hesitate to contact us at Cornerstone Ford.

 

 

Why Use Genuine OEM Car Parts?

The overarching reason to stick with OEM parts is simply that if you want your vehicle to be like new, you use the parts it came with when it was new. Aftermarket parts can be very similar sometimes, but generally speaking simply aren’t original. It is also much more common for aftermarket parts to have defects and fitment problems, or simply for a company supplying said part to send you the wrong things or mis-label it. What’s more, aftermarket parts can sometimes void new vehicle or parts warranties. Here are a few reasons why we recommend sticking with OEM parts:

  • The Perfect Fit – Aftermarket parts fit sometimes, even on the first try. But OEM parts fit perfectly virtually all the time, sense they are what came on the vehicle to begin with. The peace of mind that a repair or maintainance operation will go smoothly is worth going OEM by itself in many cases, but there is more to the advantages of OEM parts than just being able to fit easily and repeatably.
  • Ensures Quality – A significant area aftermarket parts generally lag on, at least overall, is consistent quality. Depending on the company and part in question, the actual viability and longevity of the aftermarket part you order can vary cartoonishly. Meanwhile, OEM parts have been much more thoroughly tested by the manufacturer, including in terms of parts that have a safety function.
  • Reliable Ordering – Some aftermarket parts companies are run well, but many are not. There are plenty of horror stories of parts being mislabeled or the wrong one being sent out. With OEM parts, you know you’re going to get the right thing.
