What are Ford OEM parts?

OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. Ford OEM parts are made by Ford to be a perfect replacement for the part in your vehicle that has worn out. Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are produced by a third party. They are designed to work in multiple makes and models, so there is a chance that the part you choose will not be an exact fit for your car. 

Benefits of OEM Parts

While you may think that you are saving by choosing cheaper aftermarket parts, they often end up costing you more in the long run. Listed below are just a few of the benefits of choosing Ford OEM parts for all of your automotive needs. 

    • Quality: Aftermarket parts are usually made of inferior materials to keep costs lower. This means that you may end up replacing parts more often, canceling out any initial savings. 
    • Performance: BecauseFord OEM parts have been designed specifically for your vehicle, you know that the part you choose will perform as the manufacturer intended. 
  • Selection: Don't spend hours evaluating dozens of aftermarket parts for price and quality. With Ford OEM parts, you often have just one replacement option for the part that has failed. Shopping for genuine Ford parts is quick and convenient. 
  • Warranty: Ford OEM parts are protected by warranty. Many aftermarket parts are not. In fact, the use of aftermarket parts could void your vehicle warranty.
