At Montgomery Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) in Nicholasville, Kentucky, you can order genuine Mopar parts and accessories, perfect for your new car, truck, or SUV, to help you keep your vehicle in prime condition with optimal performance. Read below as our team shares more about the advantages of OEM parts.

What Are OEM Parts?

OEM parts are replacement parts that come from your vehicle's manufacturer. They're essentially identical to the parts you're replacing. OEM products are new and use the same materials as the original parts. In contrast, many aftermarket products fit a variety of vehicles and can come from numerous manufacturers.

What Are the Benefits of Ordering OEM Parts?

There are several advantages to using OEM parts rather than aftermarket ones, including performance, longevity, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Let's look at each of these more closely:

Performance

One of the main reasons many prefer OEM parts is that they perform better, so you'll want to consider them if performance is a priority for you. Your vehicle is a highly sophisticated machine, with each piece contributing to how well it performs. With OEM parts, you're sure to get the same quality as you did with the new parts that came with the vehicle. If you replace a part with a lower-quality one, you may not get the same results as when you first purchased your vehicle.

Longevity

Another important reason for choosing OEM parts is their longevity. The manufacturer designs OEM parts to fit your vehicle specifically, which helps to increase the operational life of the parts. With an aftermarket part, you may notice more wear and tear because the part doesn't fit perfectly, which could mean it won't last as long.

Going with an OEM part makes it less likely that you'll have to replace the part again soon. And since all your vehicle's components interact with one another, the longevity of an OEM part extends to other parts of your vehicle. You can help your vehicle stay in great condition for a longer period with OEM parts.

Safety

If you want to keep yourself, your passengers, and your vehicle as safe as possible, you should strongly consider using the highest quality replacement parts. Since an OEM part fits your vehicle and functions like the part it's replacing, it can be safer than some aftermarket parts. There's less unnecessary wear and tear, so the part is less likely to break down as you're driving. That's especially important for vital components, such as the brakes and engine, which can cause serious problems if they fail as you're driving.

Cost-Effectiveness

People often choose to get aftermarket parts instead of OEM parts, as they're typically much more affordable. But it's a good idea to think about what it'll cost in the long rather than the short term. For example, while an aftermarket part may cost less when you purchase it, you may end up spending more down the road if it lowers your vehicle's fuel efficiency or you must replace it more often.

OEM parts are often more cost-effective than aftermarket ones because they last longer and perform better. So if you want to ensure you're getting the most value for your money, think about the benefits of choosing an OEM part.
