OEM Auto Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

Lexus prides itself on the quality and reliability of its vehicles, but the sad truth is that even the highest-quality machine will eventually wear down through use. When something breaks down in your vehicle, you want to ensure the replacements are of the same quality, and are the exact fit for your particular Lexus. This is why you should always order genuine Lexus parts, directly from the manufacturer, rather than relying on cheaper aftermarket parts. Read on with the service experts here at Lexus Downtown as we explain why OEM parts will always be the best for your Lexus.

Aftermarket Parts

When your vehicle needs a replacement part, an option for the more frugal buyer is to source an aftermarket part. For a Lexus driver, this would include any part not sourced directly from Lexus itself. These parts may have been purchased independently, or by an independent repair shop. In many cases, these parts are less expensive than genuine OEM parts from Lexus, are easier to find, and many are also high quality. However, something to remember is that these parts are often “similar to” or “best fit” options for your Lexus – they aren’t the specific bespoke parts Lexus manufactured for your vehicle, and that can mean they wear out faster, or cause knock-on issues with other parts. Worse, many are not covered under warranty.

Genuine Lexus Parts

When it comes to replacing parts in your Lexus, you don’t want a “best fit,” you want an exact match to the piece which needs to be replaced. This is the main benefit of buying a genuine Lexus auto part. Our parts team can match the exact part to your vehicle, ensuring you’re getting a perfect fit which will work seamlessly with the other components around it. Not only is this better for the part itself, it also reduces wear and tear on the rest of your vehicle. When you get repairs done at Lexus Downtown, you can trust that we only source our parts directly from the manufacturer. Better yet, all Lexus parts are covered by a 2 year, or 40,000 km warranty when they’re purchased and installed at a certified Lexus dealer, such as Lexus Downtown.

Not only can we obtain authentic Lexus parts for your vehicle, we also carry genuine Lexus accessories. This includes floor mats, seat protectors, hitches, winter tires, and more. If you want to accessorize your Lexus, you’ll always get a perfect match to your vehicle if you shop through Lexus.
