CARTEK Collision

Collisions and accidents of any variety can give drivers both stress and trauma. From accident reports to the automotive repair processes, the stresses can be unavoidable. Plus, with collisions, there may be the need for replacement parts. With so many replacement parts, it may be a little difficult to decipher what you need for your vehicle. Fortunately for those in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, Pasadena and Glendale, CarTek Collision is here to help. We’ve described the types of replacement parts to choose from if you need a repair.

Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts

Essentially, these are brand new parts. They’re made by the same company that built your vehicle. With these, finding and choosing the part that you need becomes easier. You only have one brand and price to choose from. Plus with OEM parts, the quality will be there since they’re made for your brand of car. In addition, there are some manufacturers that back their parts up with a warranty.

Aftermarket Parts

Aftermarket parts are parts that have been made through a third party source. This means that the manufacturer of your vehicle did not make this part. With this you could be risking damage to your vehicle. Plus you can also be paying for a part that doesn’t fit, or may not be compatible with your vehicle. However, these parts can also run a bit cheaper than OEM parts, and you do have more of a selection.

Recycled/Refurbished Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts

These are basically used OEM parts for your vehicle. They’ve been recovered and refurbished from another vehicle of the same model year or newer. With this, you can still get the compatible part you need to replace for your vehicle; however, it is used, meaning that this part may already have some wear and tear on it. This can cause you to need a replacement faster, and possibly cause your vehicle some damage. However like the aftermarket parts, it is a little less expensive.
