OEM…OMG!

In some cases, if you take your car to an independent body shop, you'll most likely get aftermarket car parts.  Is there anything wrong with that?  Does a less expensive part mean a poorer-quality part?  One thing you absolutely DON’T want to do is pay for a part to be installed and then pay again later just because the part was defective.

An aftermarket part is any part for a vehicle that is not sourced from the car's maker.  There are many companies that makes parts designed to function the same way.  They are usually less expensive.  But then the quality may vary greatly as well, as there are an overwhelming number of choices.  Not only that, but is the warranty the same?

We here at Arrow Body and Fender recommend OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts.  We believe that the slight extra cost up front will be more than offset by the peace of mind you will have driving around with the same parts that were originally designed for your vehicle.  Stop by our shop located at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park or call (708) 456-9424.
