It’s a stressful time when your car needs to be repaired. No one likes the idea of their car being damaged. When you come into your trusted Lexus dealer in Wilmington, DE, we only use genuine Lexus parts on any repair we make. These are a few of the reasons why we exclusively use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts.
They’re High Quality
The OEM parts we use are made by Lexus in the same factories that were used to build the parts for your car. They are identical to your car’s original parts and were manufactured to the same exciting standards. By our using original parts in your repairs, you can be sure that the replacement parts meet the high standard you expect for any repair work. The quality of the parts used is backed by the engineering expertise of Lexus.
An independent mechanic will most likely use generic parts rather than OEM ones. Generic parts are made by numerous companies worldwide, and they are designed to fit as many makes and models as possible. Quality is far more difficult to assess when you are using generic parts. A lower quality part may not be immediately noticeable, but it will fail you when you need it most.
They Will Always Work Correctly
OEM parts will always fit and work correctly. This may be an obvious thing to say, but any replacement part that is attached to your car must always fit and work correctly. A door panel, for example, must fit seamlessly into your car. A flush-fit is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also practical. Any gap between parts can water, dirt or other contaminants to get in and damage your car.
Generic parts are manufactured by numerous companies worldwide, and they are designed to fit as many different makes and models of cars as possible. The problem with parts that fit numerous cars is that parts can vary even between models made by the same manufacturer. An independent mechanic will usually use generic parts and tinker with them to ensure that they fit.
You Get a Warranty
The OEM parts we use always come with a warranty from Lexus. This warranty means that in the highly unlikely event of a problem with the part that it will be freely replaced. These parts carry a warranty because they are made to a known and measurable standard, and were designed to fit your car.
Generic parts generally don’t carry a warranty. They are not backed by a guarantee that the particular part will work or fit correctly, or that the part will last as long as the original part it would replace. If a generic part fails and it has no warranty, you’ll have to spend even more money on a replacement part for a replacement part.
Now you know some of the reasons we only use OEM parts. If you need any repairs, call us right away at Lexus of Wilmington.
