What are the Advantages of Ford OEM Parts?

Ford Service - Brakes

 

Certified Ford service centers, like the one at Gene Messer Ford of Amarillo, are proud to say we only use genuine Ford OEM parts for your repairs and maintenance. But, when it comes to Ford parts, why does the OEM designation matter so much? Learn more about how genuine OEM parts can protect the performance of your vehicle on the roads of Amarillo and Canyon, below.

What are Ford OEM parts?

OEM is the acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer. In other words, the OEM is the automaker that made your vehicle. So, in our case, Ford OEM parts are parts that are manufactured at a Ford facility, specifically for Ford vehicles.

Vehicle parts that are not OEM are called aftermarket parts. The problem with aftermarket parts is that they are produced by third parties that have no affiliation with the OEM. How does this affect consumers? Even though many aftermarket parts will claim to be compatible with your Ford, the reality is that they’re made to work with as many makes and models as possible, so they will never truly fit any one vehicle perfectly. Not only that, but the quality standards are not up to par with Ford OEM standards, which can affect the performance and reliability of your vehicle in the long run. What’s more, an ill-fitting aftermarket part can cause damage to your vehicle’s most important systems.

Reasons to Get Ford Parts from a Certified Dealer

The allure of aftermarket parts for many car owners near Clovis, NM is that they’re usually cheaper than OEM parts, but the value you get from OEM parts can’t be overstated. When you purchase your Ford parts from a certified dealership parts center, you can feel 100% assured that you’re getting real OEM components that were made for your Ford by Ford engineers, meaning you’ll enjoy all of these benefits:

  • Superior Quality: OEM replacement parts are the best quality parts you can get because they’re made from the same materials as the original parts.
  • Equal Performance: OEM parts are identical to the ones you’re replacing, which means they will perform the same and last just as long as the originals.
  • Simplified Selection: Aftermarket parts address such a large range of makes and models that it can be overwhelming to find the one you need. With Ford OEM parts, you get a refined selection and the assurance that the parts you’re shopping for will match your model’s specs.
  • Parts Warranty: Ford parts purchased and installed at an authorized dealer are protected by a 2-year/unlimited-mile warranty.
  • Vehicle Warranty: Damage caused by aftermarket parts may void your vehicle’s factory warranty. If it’s still under warranty, OEM parts will keep the coverage intact.
