Why OEM Parts Are the Best

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. It means that the part was designed and built by the very same company that created the car in the first place. You might be tempted to get your parts or accessories from one of the big chain auto parts stores. You can save some money by doing that, but you'll run into a few problems. The first one you'll notice is that it's no easy task to find the right part, and know for certain that it's the part you meant to get. Maybe when you meant to get a Subaru oil pump, the serial number was off by one number or character, or the cashier looked up the wrong part entirely. If you do manage to get the right part, then there's still the possibility that it won't quite fit exactly right, because the off-brand manufacturer reverse-engineered it to fit as many different vehicles as possible. And if you clear those two hurdles, the part you bought and installed might have an inferior design, or been made with inferior materials. That means it will wear out or break much sooner than the OEM part would. Depending on what the part is near, or connected to, it might even do damage to other parts; and then you'll need to spend even more money.

On the other hand, the team members in our parts department are experts in all things Subaru, and they'll know exactly what parts you'll need for your exact make, model, and year. And when they hand over the part, accessory, or fluid that's been either made or approved by Subaru Motors, you know that it will fit perfectly and run well for a long time. That's the sort of quality that has made Subaru famous.
