I OEM & OS Explained I Car Repairs Guide I OE, OEM, OS, OEM Quality Car Parts ( The Difference)You know you want quality parts but cant make head nor tail of what the difference is between them. Our quick guide should clear it up for you!
OE – short for Original Equipment. A specific part has either come straight from the manufacturer or is branded with the manufacturer’s logo OEM – stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer- at one time or another this parts manufacturer has supplied parts to the car company for that vehicle. OES – Original Equipment Supplier OE or Oem quality parts/aftermarket parts- parts although not originally used to build the Vehicle, are made to equal standard or better than the manufacturers specification What many car owners don’t realise is that when a car comes off the production line, many of its parts will have been made not by the actual manufacturer, but by contracted OEM/OES manufacturers who are given individual specifications, going on to make the specific parts and returning them to the car manufacturer. In most instances, OEM/OES parts will not have the car manufacturer’s logo branded on the product and will be significantly cheaper than OE parts. Aftermarket parts are made either by OEMs or by a different manufacturer altogether. These are not made to specification although this does not necessarily mean that the parts are any lower in quality. Be wary however, of counterfeit part manufacturers, who will use any means to obtain car manufacturer specifications and create parts which are always of inferior quality, in a bid to keep costs down. You should always therefore avoid buying parts which are significantly cheaper than any other quote. Do your homework and search for a supplier which is offering a part at a reasonable yet realistic price, along with a warranty and standard return policy.
