Why Buy Nissan Genuine Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

When you buy a new or pre-owned Nissan vehicle, you will have to replace parts at some point. Previously, there were only two options available whenever you wanted to replace parts: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts or aftermarket parts. Today, there are many aftermarket options, but they may not always match the fit, performance, or durability of Nissan Genuine Parts. Below, we will discuss some of the advantages of choosing Genuine Nissan parts over aftermarket products. If you need new parts for your Nissan, you can always visit us here at Fred Martin Nissan!

When you choose Genuine Nissan Parts, you’re choosing components engineered to Nissan specifications. These parts are designed to fit your vehicle properly and help maintain original performance and appearance. Nissan designs its vehicles inside and out, and Genuine Nissan Parts are made to match those designs—including details like size and finish for many exterior components. While some aftermarket parts may cost less, fit, materials, and finish can vary by manufacturer. In some cases, modifications may be needed for proper installation, and color or sizing may not match as precisely.

When you get Nissan Genuine Parts, there is no confusion or doubt. You will get the exact replacement for the part you need. All Nissan parts come with the company’s backing, so you know that you’re getting quality. On the other hand, aftermarket parts are manufactured by different manufacturers. While a wide selection might be offered, if you don’t have in-depth knowledge about each part, it can be difficult to select the correct part for your Nissan. It can also be difficult to verify the credentials of the manufacturer.

Genuine Nissan Parts are backed by a limited warranty (coverage varies—see your dealer for details). In some cases, if your vehicle is covered under an applicable Nissan warranty, certain parts replacements may be covered at no charge. Many aftermarket parts also include their own warranties; however, using non-genuine parts may affect warranty coverage depending on your situation and the repair performed.
