When it comes to servicing or repairing your vehicle, choosing the correct Lexus parts is extremely important. While several third-party solutions with generic parts may fit your car, it's always better to use OEM parts straight from the manufacturer for various reasons. To learn more about OEM parts and their benefits, visit Lexus of Valencia today.
What are OEM Parts?
The manufacturer of a specific part determines whether it's considered OEM. OEM stands for "original equipment manufacturer," meaning any part you purchase with this label comes with the backing of the company that built your vehicle. When you buy OEM, you're buying a part that's identical to the one that first came inside your car.
Buying an aftermarket part is an alternative to using OEM parts. While many existing generic parts may work inside your vehicle, it's important to note that since these parts are not specifically designed for your make and model, they can cause more issues than they help. Always be cautious when purchasing parts that aren't from our parts department, and that are not installed at a Lexus service center.
The Benefits of OEM
Choosing OEM parts for your vehicle comes with many great benefits. The first is an assurance of quality - while third-party parts are prone to breaking down quickly, OEM parts are made from high-quality materials designed to last. OEM parts also sometimes come with a manufacturer-backed warranty that gives you additional peace of mind while driving.
OEM parts are more expensive than their aftermarket alternatives and are often harder to find due to higher demand, but we believe the trade-off is more than worth it. Once you're at our service center, we can help you find relevant Lexus parts specials that can help you save money on high-quality parts.
