Often the question is asked “Why do I need to service and maintain my vehicle at the OEM dealership” or “Why can I not do it myself or use my local workshop”?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. The OEM workshop is supported by the OEM in the form of all technicians being trained by the OEM on a regular basis to make sure that they understand and can diagnose any issue on your vehicle with the minimum effort.
The OEM also provides specialised equipment and tools to make sure that your vehicle is maintained and repaired to the original standard as it was when it left the factory. OEM workshops are audited regularly to make sure that everything is to the OEM standard and ready to maintain your vehicle.
In our modern age the technician has direct access to support from the factory via online portals. This gives the consumer the confidence to be able to drive their vehicle with complete peace of mind.
Why do we need to use OEM parts in our vehicles?
OEM parts are components engineered by the car manufacturer using the exact specifications. The advantages of using only OEM parts on your vehicle are as follows:
• It is unique to a particular make and model of a car, so there is no need to compare quality and price.
• It comes with a one-year warranty.
• It is always a perfect match for your car.
