The benefits of OEM car parts

 When it's time to replace or add car parts to your vehicle, it's definitely worth looking into whether or not you should use OEM or aftermarket parts. Here at Toyota of Orlando, we're big fans of OEM (and not just because we're a Toyota dealership). Today we're talking why - find out the perks of using OEM car parts to help you decide which kind you should choose next time you're making repairs or upgrading your ride. 

Before we talk about why we love OEM car parts at Toyota of Orlando, we should explain exactly what they are. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer - Toyota OEM parts come from Toyota, the automaker that makes the vehicles. These parts are new and created with the same materials and standards that your car originally was. 

Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are not from the original manufacturer but from other third-party companies. They may be made from different materials than your original Toyota and may not be designed to the same standards as OEM parts. However, they can be cheaper for those two reasons. 

Why do we believe in OEM parts at Toyota of Orlando? 

So while yes, we know that OEM car parts may be more expensive in some scenarios, we're firm believers in using them on our Orlando Toyota repairs and upgrades. Why? Here are the perks of going this route when it comes to car parts: 

No questions. When it comes to ordering OEM car parts for your Orlando Toyota, you won't have to waste a bunch of time ensuring that the parts are going to fit where they should and work as they're supposed to. Remember, they're made by Toyota specifically for these cars, so there shouldn't be any question about their compatibility. 

Longevity. Just like your Toyota has major longevity in it, the parts do, too. They're made from the same materials and held to the same standards that your car was when it was built, so you can rest easy knowing you're going to get a long life (and your money's worth) out of the parts. 

Reliability. You also don't need to worry as much about your parts breaking when you go the OEM route. Again, these parts are always constructed out of quality materials made to last. Plus, you'll also likely be able to get a manufacturer's warranty on the parts in case anything goes amiss, and you'll also have direct access to the manufacturer's network of support. In this network are experts who are knowledgeable not only about the part itself, but also the role it plays in your Toyota. 

Warranties and leases. Using OEM parts is less risky when it comes to voiding existing warranties on your car or causing issues on your lease.
