Warranties for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket auto parts can vary depending on several factors, including the type of part, the manufacturer, and our policies. Here are some typical warranty scenarios you might encounter when purchasing these parts:
OEM Parts
Manufacturer Warranty: OEM parts, which are made by the same company that produced your vehicle, often come with a manufacturer's warranty. These warranties can vary in duration and coverage but typically range from 12 months/12,000 miles to 36 months/36,000 miles. Some high-end OEM parts might even have longer warranties.
Coverage: OEM warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship. If the part fails due to such defects within the warranty period, the manufacturer will usually replace or repair it at no cost to you.
Aftermarket Parts
Manufacturer Warranty: Many reputable aftermarket parts manufacturers offer warranties on their products, though the terms can differ widely. It's common to see warranties ranging from 90 days to 2 years for aftermarket parts.
Coverage: Aftermarket warranties generally cover defects in materials and workmanship, similar to OEM warranties. Some aftermarket manufacturers may offer additional warranties for specific components, such as exhaust systems or brake pads.
