What's the Difference Between Generic and OEM Parts?

Parts Department
Our service department includes a parts department with a full inventory of high-quality OEM parts. We have a knowledgeable staff that can answer questions about buying OEM genuine parts. If we don't have the specific parts you need, we can order them and get them quickly to the dealership.
On our website, we offer an online ordering form for a convenient way to get the parts you need. Let us know the make, model, and year of your vehicle and the part you need. We will get it for you.
What is OEM?
If you are in the market for aftermarket parts for your vehicle, look no further than OEM parts from your car's manufacturer. The best parts are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. As a Ford dealership, we only carry genuine Ford parts designed especially for your make and model. Often, using generic or off-brand auto parts will void the remainder of your warranty.
So, when you need repair, you should only use original equipment manufacturer parts that are specifically designed for your vehicle.
Why are OEM Parts Better?
Unfortunately, too many car owners learn the hard way that generic parts just aren't as good as OEM replacement parts. After using generic parts, their vehicles don't run well, or new problems arise.
OEM parts are better than generic parts because they match your vehicle exactly. They come off of the same assembly lines, while generic parts do not.
OEM repair parts all have the same high quality, while generic parts vary greatly in quality and design. They do not need to have the same precision engineering as OEM car parts, so they don't always fit the way they should. Rather than take the chance on parts that might not work, only use OEM auto repair pairs for your investment.
