To keep your Honda performing and functioning flawlessly, OEM parts are the way to go. These are the parts you’ll find fitted fresh from the factory, and your Honda dealer uses those same parts to service your vehicle and keep it running like new.
Maximizing Your Honda’s Performance with OEM Parts
Maximizing Performance
Installing aftermarket parts into your Honda could adversely affect how the car feels, handles, and drives. For example, a seemingly simple task like replacing spark plugs could harm engine performance if the replacements are incompatible or of inferior quality to the originals. A Honda technician will only ever install parts that make your car run better, not worse.
A special blend of components works to maximize performance in your Honda. These parts affect all crucial aspects of your driving experience, from engine performance and acceleration to steering, handling, comfort, and the vital ability to stop. You can’t drive your Honda confidently if you lose faith in the braking performance. Original parts give you driving confidence!
Maintaining Efficiency
Closely related to performance is efficiency. A great benefit of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts is that they’re carefully made to fit your vehicle. Honda works with a variety of partners who supply these parts, including Aisin USA, the Denso Corporation, and the Keinhin Corporation. The latter is an equity-method affiliate, meaning it’s part-owned by Honda.
Many types of car parts cause a decrease in efficiency if they do not fit the vehicle precisely. They include anything from air and oil filters to brake or suspension components, fuel injectors, and electrical parts. Aftermarket brands that do not work with Honda may reverse-engineer items in some cases without using the same tolerances as OEMs.
Performance vs Safety
Although it’s tempting to believe otherwise, vehicle performance isn’t only about speed, power, and handling. It’s crucial for all concerned that you keep your vehicle safe. There are many aspects of a vehicle that affect safety, but brakes spring instantly to mind. OEM brake components such as pads and rotors help ensure you can always bring your Honda to a safe and timely stop.
Other OEM components that affect safety include structural parts, lighting systems, restraining elements like seatbelts and airbags, suspension components, and tires. A Honda dealership will always install tires that suit your vehicle perfectly.
Maintaining Resale Value
It’s worth noting that a vehicle carefully maintained with OEM components is likely to command a better resale price than one with a load of cheap third-party bits. A savvy buyer knows cheap parts compromise the condition and performance of the vehicle.
