There can be many instances in which you want or need to buy new auto parts for your car or truck. To help you out, we have asked our automotive parts and service team some frequently asked questions. This is what they said.
OEM parts are the “Original Equipment Manufacturer” parts. They are created for unique car, truck, and SUV models by the manufacturer. These are your vehicle’s exact-matching parts. They include a manufacturer’s warranty. Car Dealers use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to source the right OEM part for your car.
An aftermarket part is any part for a car that is not sourced directly from the vehicle’s manufacturer, or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). These parts are certainly less-expensive for the repair of your car and upgrade. Online retailers and independent, local shops may (though not necessarily) offer a selection of aftermarket automotive parts.

However, car buyers, can typically choose something like an extended warranty, bumper-to-bumper, or factory warranty for the most comprehensive coverage. Even with an extended warranty, all of your vehicle’s parts will likely not have coverage. Here is a list of what’s covered and what’s not.
