What are the Benefits of OEM Parts vs Aftermarket Parts?
OEM Parts Use Higher Quality Materials
Honda uses specially formulated alloy metals, all-temperature rubbers that retain pliability, and ABS plastics that meet the utmost levels of durability. Knock-off aftermarket parts are typically made of inferior base metals, flimsy low-density plastics, and low-quality rubbers that appear to be half plastic. Genuine Honda auto parts were made to fit. Aftermarket parts can be deceiving, because they almost look the part in descriptions or pictures. Closer inspection and years of comparison testing will unveil the winner.
Warranty and Support You Can Count On
When you install aftermarket parts, they can undermine the entire mechanical systems. A limited lifetime warranty on certain parts protects you against manufacturing defects that cause the premature failure of your auto parts. When aftermarket parts are installed, this may void the entire warranty on items connected to that part. Although it may only be one cog in a chain, installing an aftermarket coil-pack can damage the sensitive electronics in the ignition control module and ECU (Engine Control Unit).

When you have parts that have passed such a high level of scrutiny to reflect the image of the manufacturer, you can rest assured that the repair will be done right. There is nothing worse than guessing whether the part is compatible or failed prematurely when you are troubleshooting a complex diagnostic problem. Even something as simple as a gasket or belt can take hours to install and rapidly deteriorate if it is not made of the same quality materials that reflect the Honda name.
