Ever wonder what car parts sell the most online?

5. Alternator

7. Engine/Motor Control Module

Ok, so now you know what are the most popular online purchases when it comes to car parts. But how do you know which brand to chose? When it comes to luxury cars, nothing beats OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts.

Just know that when you order from Euro Auto Parts Direct you are always getting OEM car parts.

However, if you take your car to an unknown shop or simply buy the cheapest part online, you’ll most likely be purchasing risky aftermarket car parts.

An aftermarket part is any part for a vehicle that is not sourced straight from the car’s manufacturer.

OEM parts tend to be more expensive, sure, but are easier to choose and usually are backed by a one-year warranty. Like we said, they are built by your car’s manufacturer and for your exact model of car.

Just remember: If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

And always beware of poor quality parts. Aftermarket parts are usually less expensive than OEM parts, yes. But the quality of after market varies greatly and they are often made with lower-quality materials. We say stick with OEM!

Take a spark plug, for example. Even a part as simple as a lowly spark plug can be made by dozens of different companies and come in seemingly endless variations.

Consult your mechanic for advice or simply stick with the OEM part to be safe.

Also, many aftermarket parts are sold without a warranty. Sure it’s cheaper that way but why risk it?

OEM parts are made by the vehicle’s manufacturer. These match the parts that came with your vehicle when it rolled off the carmaker’s assembly line.

And it saves you time because you don’t have to worry about assessing the quality of different brands and prices.

When you replace worn out parts and accessories on your luxury vehicle with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts from Euro Auto Parts Direct you upgrade performance and keep your luxury and exotic model driving optimally for years or even decades. By using genuine OEM parts that last longer than generic or used parts you also are helping to maintain its resale value.
