Choosing the best option for replacement car parts largely depends on the value that’s received versus the price that is paid. Depending on the types of parts purchased, there can be a big difference in the reliability and costs between OEM, aftermarket, rebuilt and used auto parts. This article looks at the differences in terms of quality, reliability, warranty policies and cost of the various types of auto parts.

New OEM Replacement Car Parts

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. These parts are manufactured to the specific specifications of the car manufacturer. Normally the car dealer sells OEM parts but they can also be purchased at some auto repair shops and auto parts chain stores. If the car owner prefers factory parts, they should request “OEM parts” at the time of purchase.

There a few exceptions but OEM parts usually have the highest quality and reliability factor. Original equipment parts typical cost more compared to other types of parts. Because of the higher price, the cost of the OE parts should be measured against other types of parts for the best value.
