When searching for a new part for your new or pre-owned vehicle, you have many options worth considering at your disposal. Here at Helfman Ford of Stafford, TX, we can help you find the ideal part for your needs.
There are multiple types of Ford parts: OEM, Remanufactured, and Aftermarket. Below we will walk you through each category and explain the nuances of each one.
OEM Parts
An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part is identical to the original part on your vehicle. It is produced by the same manufacturer, and you can depend on the same levels of performance as the original. Due to their high reliability and quality, these parts may be more expensive than other options.
Remanufactured Parts
Remanufactured parts are composed of used OEM parts, which are often disassembled and reassembled using the components that are in the best condition. The part is then cleaned up and ready to be used. Remanufactured parts still provide similar dependability to their newer counterparts.
Aftermarket Parts
Unlike OEM parts and Remanufactured parts, aftermarket parts are initially produced by a different manufacturer than your vehicle. Though these parts are usually less expensive and more readily available, you may see different variations in quality and performance. These parts are often manufactured for multiple car brands, so be wary—it may not be a perfect fit in your car, potentially costing you more money in the long run.
