OE, OEM, and Aftermarket Explained.
When it comes to maintaining and upgrading your vehicle, understanding the different types of auto parts available can be crucial in making informed decisions. In the automotive world, parts are generally categorized into three types: Original Equipment (OE), Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and Aftermarket. At FRAPP Friedrichrapp, we specialize in high-quality aftermarket parts, embodying German engineering excellence. Let's dive into what these terms mean and the unique benefits they offer.
What are OE Parts?
Original Equipment (OE) parts are the components installed in your vehicle at the time of its manufacture. These parts come directly from the vehicle's maker, ensuring a perfect fit and function. However, OE parts are often the most expensive option due to their brand-name association and the guarantee of being identical to the parts they replace.
Understanding OEM Parts
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are produced by the same companies that supply OE parts but are often sold under the manufacturer's brand. Essentially, OEM parts are identical to their OE counterparts in terms of design, material, and function but can be more cost-effective as they don't carry the vehicle manufacturer's brand markup.
The Advantages of Aftermarket Parts
Aftermarket parts are produced by companies other than the original manufacturer or its OEM suppliers. These parts are designed to fit and function as well as, or better than, OE/OEM parts. FRAPP Friedrichrapp takes pride in offering aftermarket parts that stand out for their:
Cost-Effectiveness
Typically more affordable than OE or OEM parts, providing a better value for money
