If your Ford needs some maintenance or repairs, you should only use OEM parts from your local Ford mechanic. OEM components are made by Ford specifically for your vehicle's make and model. Unlike generic or aftermarket parts, OEM Ford parts come with numerous benefits.
1. Guaranteed Perfect Fit
OEM Ford parts are engineered for your specific model. For this reason, they align, connect, and operate seamlessly once installed in your vehicle. This seamless fit eliminates mechanical and performance issues associated with ill-fitting parts.
Aftermarket parts are reverse-engineered by third-party manufacturers, so they don't always fit perfectly. The parts may require modifications to fit in your Ford, which can result in various mechanical problems down the road.
2. Parts Last Longer
With OEM components, there is no guesswork about quality. The parts are made by Ford engineers to the same exact specifications and quality standards as the original parts. They also go through the same rigorous testing and inspections as the factory components before approval for sale. This results in superior durability and performance compared to aftermarket parts.
3. Protect Your Vehicle's Value
Installing aftermarket parts that are not similar in quality and performance to OEM components can hurt your car's value. If you intend to sell your Ford in the future, you should stick to original factory parts. The parts function as the original ones, so they keep all the systems and components consistent with Ford's original manufacturing. This helps protect the car's resale value and makes it attractive to potential buyers.
4. Preserve Your Warranty
Inferior aftermarket parts can cause certain systems and components in your Ford to malfunction and fail. If this happens while you're still under warranty, it can void your factory warranty and lead to huge repair costs.
Using OEM components guarantees no conflict with the factory warranty because the parts are factory-approved. Since factory parts are made for your model, you are sure that they won't cause problems with other components. The parts also come with a 24-month warranty for further protection.
5. Save Time and Money
Shopping for aftermarket parts can be time-consuming. The parts vary in quality, fit, price, and performance, so you have to sift through the options and find the best one for your Ford. With OEM components, you don't have to worry about this. There is only one factory part for each component in your Ford, so you don't have to waste time comparing options.
Factory parts are available at your Ford dealership, so you just need to place an order and have them installed. Your certified mechanic will install the parts correctly the first time, saving you money on costly re-dos and replacements in the future.
Original parts are the best options for all vehicle repairs and replacements. If you need OEM components for your Ford, contact us at Conway Ford to order.
