Aftermarket Parts and Your Vehicle
Aftermarket parts are to OEM parts what knockoffs are to designer brands. They are reverse manufactured to match OEM parts and come from a variety of different sources. On the plus side, they are usually less expensive than OEM parts and sometimes, but not often, are actually better. This is generally the case with performance parts as most vehicle's won't originally be sold with performance modifications. Another bonus is that aftermarket parts can be found almost anywhere, from big box parts stores like Lordco and Princess Auto to gas stations to places like WalMart. The trouble with aftermarket parts, however, is that having so many out on the market can make the selection overwhelming and the quality varied. With multiple brands on the shelves, it can be difficult to find a reputable one, let alone exactly what you're looking for. Also, these parts might not come with a warranty, which you'll definitely want to have.
Nissan OEM Parts in Calgary
When it comes to high quality, genuine auto parts, go with Original Equipment Manufacturer every time. OEM parts are made with the same moulds as the original part in your vehicle for the perfect fit every time. Sure, they will likely cost you more than aftermarket parts will, but they're built to last and come with a warranty that's often good for 12 months/12,000 miles. This means not having to pay to get it repaired a second time should the part fail. They're also far easier to choose when looking for something specific because you'll only have one option. Even better? You can find OEM parts for your Nissan vehicle at your local Nissan dealership. This guarantees that you'll have the best part for your vehicle.
