When it comes time to either upgrade or replace parts of your Honda car, you’ll have a choice between OEM Honda parts and aftermarket parts. While the low prices of aftermarket parts may be tempting at first, you may regret choosing them in the long run, as they tend to break down faster and may not even fit properly in your Honda car.
On the other hand, the OEM Honda parts sold at Hall Honda Virginia Beach are indeed better quality. Here are the advantages of buying OEM parts.
What Are OEM Parts?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means that when you buy OEM Honda parts, they were manufactured by Honda and are the exact parts that are you are replacing. Because OEM parts are made by a specific manufacturer to align with a vehicle’s precise specifications, they are guaranteed to fit perfectly into your vehicle. OEM parts are what we use in our Honda service center when we complete repairs and maintenance.
In comparison, aftermarket parts are manufactured in large scale and designed to fit in a variety of vehicles. This means that they may not fit in your specific make and model.

- Quality: An OEM part should fit and function exactly as the part it is replacing.
