MAZDA OEM Parts vs. Third-Party: What’s the Difference?

When you’re shopping for Mazda parts online, one thing is for certain—the options are endless. If you need replacement parts, it’s important to utilize Mazda OEM parts rather than third-party replacement parts if you want a quality replacement. The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston is highlighting how they differ and why we always recommend genuine Mazda parts.

Compatibility

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with the amount of replacement parts available online. It can be nearly impossible to know that you’re getting the right part for your vehicle. With Mazda Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, there’s no second-guessing. The parts are made by the same professionals that manufacture Mazda vehicles, so you know that they’ll fit your vehicle perfectly.

Quality

There are plenty of quality third-party parts available. However, nothing matches the quality of a Mazda OEM part. They’re built with the same strict standards and expertise that a Mazda vehicle is built with. This means they fit exactly the same as your original part did. On the other hand, third-party parts may fit incorrectly and cause issues in your system, limiting your performance or degrading other parts.

Warranty Coverage

We’re so confident in the quality of Mazda OEM parts that we back them with warranty coverage. Genuine Mazda parts that are bought from an authorized Mazda dealer (or installed by a Mazda technician) are covered with a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first). You won’t get that peace of mind with a third-party auto part.
