If your Ford runs into trouble on the Chicago roads and needs some of its parts replaced, we at Sutton Ford guarantee we’ll use only genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Ford parts. OEM parts are tailor-made to fit your specific vehicle so it can keep running in the best condition possible. Visiting a chain or an independent auto shop for a parts replacement usually results in your vehicle being fitted with generic or third-party aftermarket parts, which could affect its performance. There are plenty of other advantages of using Ford OEM parts, and the service team at Sutton Ford has everything you need to know in the guide below.
OEM parts refer to parts made specifically for the make, model, and year of your vehicle. They’re only available at qualified service centers–in this case, Ford dealerships. The alternative to OEM parts are called aftermarket parts, which are made by generic parts companies and used by independent auto shops to fit as many makes and models as possible. You may be able to save a bit of money on aftermarket parts, but it comes at the cost of your vehicle’s performance–OEM parts are designed to fit perfectly with your vehicle and maximize its capabilities on the streets of New Lenox and beyond.
There are plenty of benefits to using genuine OEM parts for your Ford vehicle that more than justify the slightly higher price tag. Here are some of the best advantages of bringing your car to a qualified Ford service center for a parts replacement:
