If you go online, you can find many car parts for attractive prices that will fit your vehicle. That seems alright, so why should you go with genuine parts instead? So they’re more ‘dependable’, but what’s the difference and why does genuine give you an advantage? What makes them worth the money?
The Difference
Genuine parts are what were originally used to build your vehicle. Non-genuine parts often made by a third-party vendor. They may look genuine, but they’re not under any approved standard. Non-genuine parts run the risk of being counterfeit or salvaged.

Why Choose Genuine Parts
Genuine parts have been tested and approved by the company. They’ve been assured to meet safety and performance standards for your vehicle. Non-genuine are untested, and have not been made, selected, or intended for your vehicles by the maker. Essentially, genuine parts give you the assurance that you’re getting a dependable, trusted product. That same assurance cannot be made for products from third parties. It’s like putting a puzzle piece from another set into your puzzle—it may look similar, but it could be different enough to ruin the picture.
Safety is Key
Safety is the most important part of your vehicle—poor quality or untested parts can compromise this. For your vehicle to function properly, and the way it was intended, genuine parts are critical. With no guarantee that they are safe or functional, non-genuine parts could be anything. Salvaged parts could be especially dangerous since they’ve been previously compromised and deemed ‘fit’ for reuse.
We’re not saying there will never be an issue with a genuine part, but with the rigorous testing such parts go under—you can rest much easier. Dependable parts are those you can put trust in, and genuine part are always the best choice.
