A subpar aftermarket part could ruin your vehicle, while a genuine Hyundai OEM component is like returning that part of your car to brand-new condition. Read on to learn why you should always opt for OEM parts during repairs at your Hyundai dealer.

Precise Compatibility

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are built with the exact same dimensions and technical specifications as the parts they’re replacing in your Hyundai. As such, they fit like a glove, and compatibility is guaranteed. By contrast, aftermarket components are often barely compatible and require adjustments to work at all. 

Exceptional Performance 

If performance is a priority, then you should always have the genuine article installed. The engine, transmission, brakes, tires, suspension, exhaust, and every other car part can only perform as well as its composite parts allow it to. As such, you can’t beat OEM components for performance. 

Long-Lasting Quality

Durability is a well-known attribute of all Hyundai vehicles. With an OEM Hyundai part, you’re guaranteed to benefit from Hyundai’s outstanding quality and reliability standards. Conversely, aftermarket parts are built with a fraction of the quality and longevity standards, which simply means you’ll be replacing them sooner.

Long-Term Cost Savings

One key advantage of genuine parts is how much money you can save in the long term. OEM car parts are built to last, so you needn’t pay to replace them as frequently. Drivers who believe they’re saving a few bucks with the shortcut of a slightly lower-quality aftermarket part soon discover how wrong they were. 

Fewer Further Repairs

OEM components also do less damage to connected car parts than generic aftermarket parts. As OEM components work seamlessly with the surrounding vehicle, they both suffer and spread less wear and tear. With a less compatible aftermarket part, on the other hand, the connected components are put under more strain, experience more friction, and malfunction more frequently. All this adds to your overall vehicle upkeep expenses. 

Enhanced Resale Value 

If you wish to keep the option open of reselling or trading in your car one day, then OEM components are the way to go. These days, used-car buyers are extremely interested in how well a vehicle has been maintained, including the quality of parts installed during repairs. If your car is filled with like-new OEM components, it will fetch a far higher price. 

Quicker Installation at Your Hyundai Dealer

Genuine car parts are also quicker and easier to install. They were, after all, designed by Hyundai engineers to fit neatly into your car. You also don’t need to wait for any alterations to be made to the part, as you frequently do with generic components. Overall, you can save a good deal of time with OEM car parts.
