Deciding Between OEM Parts and Aftermarket Parts
Dealerships guarantee OEM car parts for car repairs while independent shops repair cars using aftermarket parts. It is advisable to weigh the pros and cons of the latter before making any car repair decision.
Aftermarket parts are obtained from a secondary car part manufacturer. It is harder to choose better quality because of the wide selection, and the parts are not warranted. Also, you require knowledge of the parts. Before deciding to use aftermarket parts, it is important to identify a reliable mechanic for quality assurance.
