Lexus OEM Parts

OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, which means that OEM parts are designed and produced by the same company that made the parts that came in your Lexus when it was brand-new. There are several advantages to purchasing genuine Lexus parts, whether your vehicle is one year old or ten years old:

• Lexus OEM parts are designed specifically for your Lexus model, which means that they will fit snugly.
• Because they are produced by the original manufacturer, there is more brand accountability, which usually means that they will last longer.
• Many OEM parts are under warranty and may be able to be replaced at no cost.
• Lexus factory-trained technicians are familiar with OEM parts and will be better able to inspect and repair your vehicle if it still has OEM parts.
• You can use rotating Lexus service coupons at authorized Lexus service centers to save on your parts replacements.
• Replacing your original Lexus parts with OEM parts will help retain the resale value of your vehicle.

Lexus Aftermarket Parts

Aftermarket parts are generic parts designed to fit a wide range of different makes and models, and while they may sometimes cost less than genuine Lexus parts, there are some drawbacks that come with that price:

• Since aftermarket parts are designed to fit a variety of models, that usually means it won’t fit your specific model exactly.
• Ill-fitting parts might be less effective, become loose, or even vibrate rapidly along with the engine vibrations and road vibrations, which means they can become damaged over time, or even damage other parts they are connected to.
• With such a wide array of choices when it comes to aftermarket parts, it may be difficult to ensure you are buying the right product that fits your model.
• It’s also hard to tell which aftermarket companies offer good value and reliable products without sifting through dozens of reviews.
