Going to your local GMC dealer for any repairs and parts replacements that you need is highly beneficial for many reasons. One major benefit of always seeking your car maintenance or repairs from the dealer is access to OEM parts, which are the parts you want in your car when you need to replace a component.
1. The Parts Are Under Warranty
For the first three years, your GMC is under warranty, which covers the cost of any necessary repairs. This includes the cost of parts. Dealers always use OEM components and honor your car’s warranty. So, heading to the dealership and getting OEM components, which are covered under warranty, is always the smartest option financially, especially within the first three years of owning your car.
2. The Parts Are Always Extremely High Quality
A dealership would never use parts that aren’t high-quality, and OEM components are always made with the best materials for the job. These components are rigorously inspected and tested, ensuring they’re as high-quality as they can possibly be.
Aftermarket parts aren’t tested to the same extent, and they’re not always made with the same high-quality materials as OEM ones, either. In many cases, aftermarket parts are made of poor-quality materials that break down not long after they’re installed.
3. The Parts Are Easy to Find and Fix
With OEM components, the technicians at your dealership can more quickly understand the exact part your car needs and where to get it from if it’s not already in stock. When the part arrives, it can be fitted into your car with no extra adjustments. The same can’t always be said for aftermarket components.
Because aftermarket parts are made to fit into as many car makes and models as they possibly can to be cost-effective, they often need to be adjusted before being fitted into your car. The adjustment adds time and labor costs to any parts replacement.
4. The Parts Are Always the Same
When you replace broken parts in your car with aftermarket components, you can never be sure how the part will work. One aftermarket part may work much better than another, even if it’s meant to be the same part. Plus, one aftermarket part may last five years, but another might just last one. When you get OEM components, you always know the parts are compatible with your car, and their longevity doesn’t significantly vary.
