Whether you need to repair your Hyundai or upgrade it after purchase, only OEM parts from your local Hyundai dealership can guarantee your vehicle’s performance. Here are some reasons to avoid aftermarket components and opt for authentic manufacturer parts instead.


OEM Parts Ensure Structural Integrity

When fixing or upgrading a car, drivers may opt for aftermarket parts in hopes they could save a buck. However, aftermarket parts are rarely fully compatible with the Hyundai systems. In the worst-case scenarios, they could damage your vehicle’s performance, affect its structural integrity, and compromise safety.

All these worries fade when using authentic parts. Hyundai manufactures all parts and accessories to match the performance demands and design specifications of each model in its lineup, ensuring the vehicle’s structural integrity and safety. OEM replacements also offer consistency in the driving experience.


Better Long-Run Option

Even though aftermarket parts are often cheaper upfront, the lack of full compatibility with the Hyundai systems leads to increased wear and tear and higher chances of failure. Authentic Hyundai parts are engineered to deliver the same durability and performance as all other systems on your car, helping you save in the long run. 

Protected Manufacturer and Hyundai Dealership Warranties

Whether you’re driving a new or a Hyundai-certified used vehicle, the only way to keep its warranty intact is by using genuine Hyundai parts for maintenance and repairs. Extended warranties offered by your dealership could also become void if you replace genuine parts with aftermarket components.


Additional Warranty for the New Parts

A huge advantage of purchasing original equipment manufacturer parts for your Hyundai vehicle is the additional coverage the automaker offers for the new components. Hyundai covers repairs and replacements for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, against material defects and factory workmanship.


Like-New Appearance

From bumpers and wheels to seats and consoles, many parts have an impact on your vehicle’s appearance. If you need to repair or replace them without affecting the car’s visual appeal, the only way to do this is by using authentic Hyundai parts. The automaker’s OEMs maintain the same factory quality as all other components in your car, delivering a precise fit and a matching finish.


Enhanced Resale Value

Getting OEM replacements for your Hyundai also helps slow down the vehicle’s depreciation. When potential buyers see that your vehicle has been maintained with authentic parts, it instills confidence in the car’s reliability and overall condition. This can result in a higher resale value compared to a vehicle that was maintained with generic or aftermarket parts.
