Hyundai OEM Parts vs Aftermarket Parts
Every vehicle will need repair and maintenance over the course of its life, and that includes the Hyundai parked in your garage. Something to keep in mind when the time comes for a new part is how important it is to get the right part of your vehicle. You could rely on aftermarket or refurbished parts, sure, but when it comes to getting the right replacement for your Hyundai, you simply can’t beat genuine parts from the manufacturer. Read on with the service experts here at Downtown Hyundai, as we explain the difference between OEM parts and aftermarket parts, and why we always recommend going with genuine components and accessories.
Aftermarket Parts
A frugal shopper always has the option to save some money on a component by looking at aftermarket parts. These include any parts not sourced directly from Hyundai. There are a lot of options out there, and some of them are mass produced without an eye toward quality. This is not to suggest all aftermarket parts are poor quality, but we can’t guarantee them. Some are also refurbished parts taken from older vehicles, rather than new parts. Worse, while they may be similar to the parts used in your vehicle, they’ll never be better than “close” to what you need. This can cause stress on the aftermarket part, requiring it to need replacement again sooner, or even cause wear and tear on the surrounding parts in your vehicle.
Hyundai OEM Parts
You don’t want something “close” to what you need in your vehicle; you want the perfect fit, every time. When you buy a Hyundai OEM part, you’re getting the exact same part used in the manufacture of your vehicle, direct from the manufacturer. Our parts team can match the exact replacement, and our service team can ensure it’s installed seamlessly with the other parts around it. This is better for your Hyundai, as the perfect piece will cause less wear and tear on the parts around it. The service team here at Downtown Hyundai always uses genuine OEM parts in our service, and all Hyundai OEM parts are also guaranteed under warranty when installed by a certified Hyundai technician.
Accessories
It’s not just genuine Hyundai parts you can rely on! When you get a genuine Hyundai accessory, you ensure they’ll always be the perfect match for your vehicle. This includes everything from floor mats, to seat protectors, to hitches, and more. If you want accessories for your Hyundai, our parts team is here to help you find them.
