what is the difference between aftermarket crash parts and Oem crash part?

Answer 1

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacture

Aftermarket = Any company that makes a replacement part and
9 out of 10 times, it doesn't fit right.

If you have to replace body parts after an accident, be sure to use OEM parts. They are made for your car. Also, keep in mind, If the vehicle has a rust warranty, the use of aftermarket parts will void the warranty, Be sure to let the repair shop know
your vehicle has a rust warranty ( if it does ) so that they will use correct replacement parts. If the insurance is involved, they CANNOT tell you or the repair shop to use anything that will void your warranty.

Answer 2

OEM means Original Equipment Manufacture. After Market is made by an outside firm.
In many cases there is no difference, but you have to be careful. The after market parts may not fit as well, or use thinner metal.
Most of the time it means you are buying from a factory that pays their employees less than OE manufactures.
Ask any parts guy

Answer 3

OEM is directly from the factory. Meaning replacement parts. Aftermarket, is of course some other company that makes similar parts but may be of different quality and such. Also, aftermarket, may be cheaper. Then some might say you get what you pay for.

Answer 4

There are different qualities of aftermarket crash parts. CAPA CERTIFIED parts bear the seal of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (http://www.capacertified.org/) guaranteeing fit and quality equal to original equipment (OEM). These parts may be required if your insurance company is paying for the repair.

Answer 5

OEM = original equipment manufacturer

aftermarket = other companies that manufacture the part

The bumper that comes on a Ford is OEM. If you replace it with a Ford bumper that's OEM. If you buy a bumper from Acme Bumper Company, then that's aftermarket.

Answer 6

Fit and finish...OEM has both
aftermarket has neither...most of the time.
