Why OEM Parts Are Best for Your New Kia Vehicle

You may have heard the phrase, OEM parts, when speaking to one of our Kia parts technicians. It's important to know how these parts help your Kia vehicle.

Folsom Lake Kia has the knowledge to share with its drivers, whether you're a new or returning customer.

Why OEM Parts?

Called Original Equipment Manufacturer, OEM parts are our bread and butter when servicing Kia models. These components have been created by the Kia manufacturers themselves. They may come with a steep price, but the quality never falls short. Whether you opt for a Kia OEM car part like fog lights or a rear bumper guard, you'll be pleased to know that these components were designed to perfectly fit your vehicle model.

The alternative to OEM parts are aftermarket parts. These parts were designed for new Kia models, like your Kia Soul; however, the quality is debatable, and they weren't engineered by the experts themselves.

 Aftermarket Kia parts are more affordable than OEM parts and may come with your insurance plan in the event of an auto collision. Although the lower, more affordable aftermarket option may seem desirable, you will not receive an inviting warranty as you would with OEM parts.

If you're one who cares more about getting your Kia Seltos repaired with decent affordable Kia parts, then choose aftermarket components. On the other hand, OEM Kia parts keep your model close to its original state and offer you peace of mind for a few dollars more.
