When you install Chevrolet auto parts into your vehicle, you want to use the very best. That means installing OEM components instead of aftermarket ones due to the safety, quality, fit, and warranties. To keep your vehicle safe and running at its top performance, here’s what to know about aftermarket components, from the experts at James Martin Chevrolet.
Safety Concerns
Aftermarket components are mass-produced to fit as many vehicles as possible. They’re usually not guaranteed to fit your particular make, model, and year — and an improper fit can prevent the part from working properly, which can cause a safety hazard when the component fails. If you’ve installed aftermarket parts into your engine, transmission, or brake systems, for example, the part must be guaranteed to fit perfectly to ensure your vehicle’s health and safety.
Additionally, most aftermarket parts and accessories are made of inferior materials. Unfortunately, these cheaper materials can’t always hold up to the heat, friction, and wear and tear that normal driving habits put on your vehicle, which can cause the part to fail.
Benefits of Genuine OEM Chevrolet Auto Parts
OEM Chevrolet auto parts and accessories are designed specifically to fit your vehicle and are made to the highest quality standards. Depending on the specific item you’re installing, it’ll come with one of three warranties:
- Limited lifetime warranty
- 12-month, unlimited mileage warranty
- 24-month, unlimited mileage warranty
