What Are the Benefits of Chevrolet OEM Parts?

An assortment of Automotive parts on a dark background

Do you need replacement parts for your Chevy vehicle? You might be wondering if you should opt for Chevrolet OEM or aftermarket parts. OEM, or original equipment manufacturer parts, are made by the manufacturer—or, in this scenario, Chevrolet specifically. These parts are made to fit a particular model and allow a car to perform properly on your drives around Henrico. Learn more, and compare OEM parts to aftermarket parts below with Rick Hendrick Chevrolet Buick GMC Richmond.

What Are Aftermarket Parts? 

Car manufacturers, like Chevrolet, don’t produce aftermarket parts. These auto parts are manufactured by a third party, or a company other than Chevy. Aftermarket Chevy parts are built at a high volume and designed to fit the specifications of a wide range of cars from different makes— not just Chevrolet vehicles. 

They’re often more affordable than Chevrolet OEM parts, but that’s usually because they, at best, fit mediocrely. Auto manufacturers don’t recommend aftermarket parts for this reason. While aftermarket parts can seem like a great deal at the moment, they don’t meet OEM quality standards and often last shorter than high-quality parts do.

Chevrolet OEM Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

Other than quality, here are a few more reasons to choose OEM Chevrolet parts:

  • Less Overwhelming Selection: Whether you’re shopping for replacement Chevy parts or special performance parts, you won’t have to worry about comparing quality and price. You’ll get the right part at a reasonable price without all the second-guessing.
  • Reliability: Aftermarket Chevy parts, sourced from third-party manufacturers, vary in quality and consistency, posing potential challenges in fit, performance, and enduring dependability.
  • Warranty Coverage: Chevrolet OEM parts are covered with a Limited Parts Warranty. Using an aftermarket part could jeopardize your warranty coverage if it can be proven that the part caused damage to your vehicle.
