When genuine parts matter, and when a quality aftermarket option is the smarter buy.
OEM parts are made by or for your car's manufacturer. Aftermarket parts are made by other companies, and quality ranges from excellent to poor.
Go OEM for
- Safety systems such as airbags and sensors
- Complex electronics and modules
- Cars still under manufacturer warranty
Quality aftermarket is great for
- Filters, brakes and wipers
- Suspension upgrades
- Lighting and accessories
Everything on our counter is either OEM or an aftermarket part we fit in our own bays.
