Do you ever wonder why auto manufacturers recommend using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts in auto collision repairs or mechanical repairs? It is suggested to maintain the integrity of the car’s performance, safety, and appearance standards of the manufacturer. Otherwise the car may not peform as well, be as safe or look as good as when the car was originally purchased. The reason being, nonOEM parts typically are cheaper, and are not as durable as OEM parts.
