When it comes time to replace parts on your Chevy, you may be wondering whether to use OEM parts or aftermarket options. Are OEM parts better? Yes, they are, and they come with many distinct advantages that will maximize your peace of mind on every Eastvale and Corona drive. For a better idea of why genuine GM components are superior, our team at Riverside Chevrolet has put together this list of benefits, and when you are in the market for Chevrolet parts near San Bernardino, be sure to visit our full-service parts department.
The term “OEM”—short for Original Equipment Manufacturer—refers to components built by the same company that assembled your vehicle. So, why are OEM parts better?

While you’ll likely find aftermarket alternatives sold at a slightly lower price point, that discount comes with a catch. Parts produced by third-party companies aren’t held to the same rigorous standards as OEM components, which can seriously impact performance and reliability. Worse still, installing them could invalidate your warranty coverage or even minimize your vehicle’s value when it comes time to trade in or sell.
