Are the parts from 4S stores the same as the original car parts?
1 Answers
4S store parts are almost identical to the original car parts. Generally, 4S stores source their parts directly from the manufacturers (with invoices provided), commonly referred to as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Here is some related information: 1. A 4S store represents a car brand's image, embodies the brand's culture, showcases its value, and maintains brand loyalty. It is also responsible for building the brand's reputation and credibility for the car manufacturer. Using non-OEM parts would be counterproductive. 2. When replacing parts, you can check the part number to verify if it is an OEM part. OEM parts are manufactured according to the car's original specifications, ensuring quality. 3. In contrast to OEM parts, there are non-OEM parts, also known as aftermarket parts. Another type is called genuine parts. Non-OEM parts are produced by other manufacturers who replicate the original parts. The advantage of non-OEM parts is their lower cost, but the downside is their inferior quality due to various factors, making them prone to issues during use.
