Understand Subaru OEM Parts Vs. Aftermarket Near Madison

Subaru installs OEM parts in new Subaru models when they’re first sold. Typically, the Subaru logo is printed on them and the parts are tailored to your specific model, enhancing its overall performance and aesthetic. 

Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, are produced by non-Subaru manufacturers. They can be used in place of OEM parts against our recommendation. However, aftermarket parts can often be incompatible with your vehicle, causing considerable damage to performance over time.

Pros of Genuine Subaru OEM Parts 

While we transparently disclose that OEM parts generally cost more, they possess three solid aspects that foster Subaru peace of mind:

• All OEM parts are compatible with your vehicle. In no way do they damage the integrity of your car. 
• OEM parts are more reliable and last longer. 
• OEM parts normally come with a manufacturer warranty, protecting you against costly defects. 
• The Subaru OEM parts sold at Subaru of Morristown can be enjoyed with part specials that further benefit your budget.

Cons of Aftermarket Subaru Parts 

While the initial lesser cost of aftermarket parts for Subaru vehicles may be enticing to some car owners, their quality is, on average, much lower than that of the OEM. These parts often don’t come with a warranty. If they do, the warranty is normally quite limited and does little to protect you against botched installations at non-authorized body shops or expensive off-brand manufacturer defects.
