Vehicle owners are often tempted to buy and install aftermarket parts. Saving money is the usual, valid temptation, but should you be tempted to fit third-party components onto your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram? Whenever you take your beloved car or pickup to a CDJR dealer for servicing, only genuine MOPAR OEM parts are used, and there are reasons why this is a good idea.
While it’s true that aftermarket parts are often cheaper than original parts, that’s typically their only tangible benefit. And it’s a false economy for several reasons.
Safety and Peace of Mind
The original parts used by a CDJR service center are made by MOPAR, a division of FIAT Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). You can rest assured these parts are manufactured to strict safety standards, so you’re not taking any kind of risk by having them installed. This peace of mind is something you won’t always enjoy when fitting third-party or no-brand components.
Precise Fit
Because aftermarket parts are often not manufactured to the same exacting standards as genuine parts, sometimes their fit is less precise. This can lead to inferior performance and efficiency, which ironically causes more expense than using original parts. One benefit of having your CDJR vehicle serviced by an authorized technician using OEM MOPAR parts is the lack of compromise.
Compatibility and Functionality
Modern vehicles are loaded with advanced features and sophisticated electronic systems. When you have a more complex OEM part installed on your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM, you can be sure it syncs perfectly with all the clever tech that’s present. An example of this might be a Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Keep Your Warranty Valid
Using only original parts on your CDJR vehicle helps to ensure your warranty is valid if something goes wrong. Manufacturers do not guarantee parts that were not on the vehicle when it left the factory or that aren’t certified for use. Vehicles that are properly maintained with the appropriate OEM components will not face warranty problems.
Resale Value
A vehicle that has been looked after well and isn’t a “Frankenstein’s monster” of cheap parts retains its resale value better. Anyone looking to buy your vehicle with a keen eye for detail will see that you haven’t jeopardized its condition with inferior components.
