Here’s a mini guide to OEM parts to refer to next time your car needs an upgrade:

  1. OEM vs Aftermarket—When you need to replace a part on your vehicle, it can be overwhelming. First, it’s essential to understand the difference between OEM parts and aftermarket parts. As previously mentioned, OEM parts have been made by the car’s original manufacturer, and genuine OEM parts always have the company logo on them. These parts are initially designed for the specific make, model, and year of your vehicle. Aftermarket parts, however, have been made to fit your vehicle by a manufacturer outside of the actual car company. These may not meet the functionality, safety, or warranty specifications like OEM parts can. In other words, it is best to choose OEM parts if given the option. At Becker Body Shop, it is important to us that each car repair meets warranty requirements which is why we promise high-quality parts no matter the issue.
  2. Insurance Coverage—Generally, whether your insurance will cover the cost of OEM parts depends on your insurance policy. Many insurance companies cover the cost of aftermarket parts because in most situations, they do the same job, but are less expensive. However, at Becker Body Shop, we solely offer the OEM parts to our customers to ensure customer satisfaction and warranty specifications are met with each repair to give you peace of mind!
  3. Resale Value—Regardless of the cause, resale value decreases once a vehicle is involved in a collision. However, at Becker Body Shop our certifications give our customers confidence to know they’re getting the best restoration job possible when they do. To stay up to date on industry standards, our staff is trained annually on PPG’s products and procedures, as well as Kar Grabber certified—working exclusively with OEM parts to meet all dealership standards.
