Why We Use OEM Parts for Your Repairs
When it comes to repairing your vehicle, the parts we use make all the difference. At Jim Yarger’s Body Shop, we exclusively use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts for every repair—and there’s a good reason for that. Your vehicle deserves the best, and OEM parts ensure your car gets the care it needs to perform like new.
What Are OEM Parts?
OEM parts are made by the same manufacturer that built your vehicle. Unlike aftermarket parts, which are produced by third-party companies, OEM parts are designed specifically for your car’s make and model. They’re identical to the parts originally installed when your vehicle was built.
Why OEM Parts Are Better
1. Perfect Fit Every Time
OEM parts are guaranteed to fit your vehicle perfectly because they’re made to match its exact specifications. Aftermarket parts often require adjustments or modifications, which can compromise your car’s performance and safety.
2. Reliable Quality
With OEM parts, you know exactly what you’re getting: the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship that your car’s manufacturer is known for. Aftermarket parts vary widely in quality, and some may not meet the same rigorous standards.
3. Warranty Protection
Most OEM parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, giving you added peace of mind. This means if there’s an issue with the part, it’s covered. Aftermarket parts rarely offer this level of protection.
4. Maintaining Vehicle Value
Using OEM parts helps preserve your vehicle’s resale value. When buyers know that repairs were made with manufacturer-approved parts, they’ll have more confidence in the car’s reliability and performance.
5. Safety First
Your safety is our top priority. OEM parts are rigorously tested to ensure they meet all safety standards. Aftermarket parts may not undergo the same testing, which can put you and your passengers at risk.
Common Misconceptions About OEM Parts
• They’re Too Expensive: While OEM parts may cost more upfront, their durability and reliability often save you money in the long run by preventing repeat repairs.
• Aftermarket Is Just as Good: Not all parts are created equal. While some aftermarket parts may work fine, many fail to deliver the same performance and longevity as OEM parts.
