So, why should you buy genuine Ford parts? This is an important question. Our team will explain a few key points to help at-home mechanics make the best possible decision.
What Makes Genuine Ford Parts Different?
- Predictable fit and function
- Made from high-quality materials
- Protected by the manufacturer’s warranty
- Reduced likelihood of problems
Why Should You Avoid Aftermarket Parts?
The aftermarket auto parts industry is a substantial one, worth billions of dollars annually. They hook people by offering lower prices and similar performance to original equipment manufacturer parts. However, the overall quality can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some additional reasons you might want to avoid unapproved parts include:
- Variances in component tolerances
- Safety risks on some critical components
- Lower resale value of the vehicle
- Higher risk of component failure
