Ford Parts Center in Saint Johns, MI

Getting vehicle maintenance and repairs done at an auto service center is all well and good, but here at Pauli Ford, we understand that some of our customers enjoy doing the work on their own. For that reason, we have a fully-stocked Ford parts center right here at our Saint Johns auto dealership. So whether you are doing something simple, such as a routine oil change, or are wanting to customize your vehicle with different wheels, we have just what you need. 

OEM vs Aftermarket Auto Parts

When you begin sifting through the market of auto parts for sale, you will likely see two different major categories: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), also known as genuine; and aftermarket parts. What is the difference between the two and how do you know which is best? In short - you should typically aim to purchase genuine components for your vehicle, especially when it comes to mechanical parts. But why? Genuine car parts are superior because they come directly from the manufacturer that built your vehicle. The parts are exactly what came in your vehicle when you purchased it, which means that they are guaranteed to fit and function properly. 

On the other hand, aftermarket parts are manufactured by other, independent, brands. These parts are built to fit a variety of makes and models, meaning that they are not made for your specific car. Ultimately, because they are not intended for usage in only your make and model vehicle, they will wear faster, be more likely to break, and it is even possible that they will not fit or function properly from the get-go. So while you may notice that aftermarket parts have a lower initial cost, they are almost guaranteed to cost you more in the long run due to their generalized manufacturing. 

Why Buy from Pauli Ford
