OEM vs Aftermarket Parts
Making the Right Choice
When replacing auto parts, you'll encounter two main categories: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket parts. Understanding the differences can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and budget.
OEM Parts are made by the vehicle manufacturer or their contracted suppliers. They offer guaranteed compatibility and often come with warranty coverage, but typically at a higher price point.
Aftermarket Parts are produced by third-party manufacturers. They can offer competitive pricing, improved performance in some cases, and more variety, but quality can vary between manufacturers.
At Greaup, we offer both OEM and premium aftermarket options, with clear information to help you choose what's best for your specific needs and vehicle.
