Between durability, fitment, and warranty support, genuine Mazda parts offer a quality level that’s hard to find among aftermarket parts suppliers. Keep reading to learn the importance of selecting quality parts for your Mazda.
Benefits of Using Genuine Mazda Parts
Quality and Performance
Genuine parts from Mazda are manufactured with high-quality materials and designed to meet Mazda’s high standards for quality and performance. One of the risks of using aftermarket parts is that they may not undergo the same rigorous testing processes for performance and safety.
Many aftermarket parts are designed to replicate Mazda’s original quality, but some use different materials, resulting in decreased performance. Generally, parts made with cheaper materials wear out faster and are less efficient.
Fit and Compatibility
Mazda’s original equipment manufacturer parts are designed to integrate seamlessly with the rest of the vehicle without having to make any modifications. In addition to avoiding alignment issues, this ensures drivers won’t experience any problems with sealing or electrical connections, depending on the part.
With aftermarket parts, you need to pay close attention to how well the parts fit together with the rest of the vehicle. Some manufacturers offer vehicle-specific parts, while others provide one-size-fits-all parts. When parts fit improperly, they tend to wear out prematurely due to leaks and excessive vibration.
Durability and Longevity
Durability and longevity are among the primary benefits of using OEM parts, and they’re also key reasons why aftermarket parts usually cost more money over time. Mazda’s genuine parts aren’t just designed to fit a specific vehicle; they take into account how that vehicle is used. By focusing on long-term durability, OEM parts are designed to be replaced infrequently.
Durability varies between manufacturers primarily because of different material selection, engineering and design, and product testing. Companies that use lower-quality materials than Mazda may create parts with poor tolerance for extreme temperatures. If a manufacturer doesn’t rigorously test their products, it may create parts that experience excessive wear when traveling over harsh road surfaces or driving at high speeds.
Warranty and Manufacturer Support
Warranties on aftermarket parts vary between manufacturers. Some manufacturers offer warranties, which tend to be short, while others don’t warranty their products at all. In addition to a potential lack of a warranty, drivers should be careful about which aftermarket parts they use to ensure it doesn’t void any of Mazda’s warranties.
Unlike aftermarket parts, all of Mazda’s genuine parts sold from authorized dealers include a 12-month warranty. To ensure parts are correctly installed, drivers can have our service center install their parts for them.
