When it comes time to replace your Mercedes-Benz parts, whether for DIY upgrades or repairs, you will have to choose between OEM parts and aftermarket parts. While it may be tempting to take advantage of the cheap price of the aftermarket parts, doing so is not recommended by our team of Mercedes-Benz mechanics. Here are four reasons why you should choose OEM Mercedes-Benz replacement parts over aftermarket parts.
Top Quality Parts
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, and this refers to the fact that these parts are manufactured by Mercedes-Benz themselves and contain the type of high-quality engineering that you have come to expect from the luxury automaker. In contrast, aftermarket parts are often mass-produced without as much consideration given to part quality.
Guaranteed Fit
Because OEM parts are exactly the same as the part that is being replaced, they are guaranteed to fit in the exact make and model of your new Mercedes-Benz car. In contrast, aftermarket parts are produced for a variety of different vehicles, meaning that you may not get the best fit.
Durable and Long-Lasting
OEM Mercedes-Benz replacement parts are designed to go the distance. The company spends years formulating a recipe for just the right materials in the car parts, guaranteeing enhanced longevity. However, when you buy aftermarket, you don’t know the quality of the materials, meaning they may not be as long-lasting.
Warranty
Related to the last point, OEM parts often come with a warranty. In fact, Mercedes-Benz parts come with a Mercedes-Benz Parts Limited Warranty, which covers genuine parts purchased from authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships like ours.
