Why Use Genuine Hyundai Parts vs Aftermarket?

Why Use Genuine OEM Parts vs Aftermarket

Here and everywhere else, OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer.” So, OEM automotive components are the official, genuine parts produced directly by your vehicle’s maker.

Many aftermarket manufacturers develop parts that are designed to fit on multiple models of vehicles in order to mass-produce them. This often leads to ill-fitting parts that require some manipulation to get them to bolt on.

If you’re not familiar with aftermarket brands, the selection could be overwhelming and there’s a chance you may get a bad quality part.

The saying “you get what you pay for” rings true here. Some aftermarket parts are inferior because of the use of lower-quality materials. Stick with aftermarket brands you’re familiar with or are recommended by a mechanic you trust, even if these parts cost a bit more.

Patrick Hyundai only uses OEM parts manufactured by Hyundai that are specifically made for your Hyundai model. So whether parts are needed for your Hyundai when servicing with us or you’re planning your next DIY project, make sure to use parts that match the parts that came with your vehicle when it rolled off the assembly line.

  1. They are made by Hyundai for your Hyundai

  3. Reliable distribution
  4. Ease of replacement
