Genuine Mopar Parts vs Aftermarket

At Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM, we know that problems with your vehicle can be expensive and time consuming.

You don't want to waste too much money on this problem, so naturally you may go to the corner auto parts store rather than the actual dealership to get it fixed. Well, have those auto parts store ever told you that they most likely use an aftermarket part rather than your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part? Our dealership would like to make you aware of the dangers of choosing Aftermarket parts over your OEM parts.


Aftermarket Parts

  • The quality of aftermarket parts has no guarantee since they were not manufactured by the actual car company.
  • There is too much of a selection with aftermarket parts and if your body shop chooses the wrong one, then your car may not run properly.
  • There is a very small chance that aftermarket parts will fit and function properly compared to factory parts.
  • Lower cost, but also most of the time lower quality. This means that over time, you'll likely have to keep paying to replace the part, and waiting to get your car back from the service station.

Genuine OEM Parts

  • OEM parts are built specifically to fit into your vehicle.  If you check out our vehicle accessories brochure, you'll see that OEM parts are tailored to specific makes and models, such as the Chrysler Pacfica or Jeep Wrangler.  Buying OEM means the part will be perfectly tailored to your specific vehicle.
  • Dealerships will always have updated parts since they are normally the first to know when parts are being updated.
  • Parts will more than likely come with a warranty and it is usually a fairly long warranty period.
  • The price is higher, but the quality is also higher and you are less likely to have another problem in the near future.
  • At Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM, we regularly offer service and parts coupons to help you save while still getting the highest quality parts for your vehicle.

Our dealership has an extensive parts department with highly qualified parts specialists. Their main focus in the parts department is to make sure your vehicle is running and in top notch condition for years to come. Don't hesitate to contact our knowledgeable parts department so we can get you the best deal on your OEM parts.
