A word about aftermarket parts
There is a lot of confusion around the idea of aftermarket parts versus OEM parts. OEM means 'original equipment manufacturer' which basically means the part that came with your vehicle when you bought it. In many cases, choosing an aftermarket part can save you money. However, there are scenarios where an aftermarket part will not last as long as an OEM part. So, it truly depends on what part you are replacing whether OEM or aftermarket should be considered.
