Reasons to Choose Acura Parts Over Aftermarket Components

Regardless of their powertrains and makers, every vehicle consists of parts that will experience wear and tear as time passes and drivers accumulate miles on their odometers. Sometimes, parts experience so much wear and tear that they need to be replaced. If your luxury vehicle needs new parts, you should always order Acura parts from our Acura parts center. 

Why OEM Parts Are the Superior Choice 

OEM is shorthand for original equipment manufacturer, and the term refers to components that are made by the same company that produced a car. For example, the OEM parts you'll find in our Acura parts and service centers were all made by the Acura brand. 

Acura parts are made to be exact replicas of the components they'll replace. By comparison, aftermarket parts are more generic, and they can often be used in several makes and models. 

When you schedule an appointment to bring your vehicle to our Acura service center near Norfolk, VA, you can rest assured that we'll only use Acura parts when we work on your automobile. That's because Acura parts are made using the same exacting standards used to manufacture new Acura models. 

Companies that manufacture aftermarket components don't necessarily adhere to the same high standards. That means there's no way to know if a given aftermarket part is soundly made. With no quality standards in place, buying aftermarket components is a risky affair at best. 

Drivers who purchase one of the latest Acura models on our lot enjoy factory-backed warranty coverage. If you purchase Acura parts for your car, you'll enjoy similar coverage.  

A parts warranty will prevent you from having to pay for a replacement part. Aftermarket components normally don't come with warranty coverage. 

Pricing and Available Options 

If there's a downside to OEM parts, it's that they normally cost slightly more than aftermarket alternatives. While that's true, the team at Hall Acura Virginia Beach wants you to know that the warranty coverage that accompanies Acura parts makes them worth the investment. 

Finding the specific Acura parts you need is a breeze when you shop at our Acura dealership. Doing the same at an aftermarket retailer is a headache because there are so many options that make it nearly impossible to find the right components.
