What kind of parts are being used in your car?

posted on 2/8/2017 8:30:30 AM

Q: What is the difference between factory new, aftermarket new, remanufactured, and used? - Sheryl

A: Hi Sheryl, 

All four categories have a purpose when it comes to repairs. Usually they are selected according to availability, vehicle requirements, and your personal preference. Cost and life expectancy of a vehicle also play a factor in making a part recommendation. A factory new part is made by the company that produced the vehicle. An aftermarket new part is made by a company other than the vehicle company. A remanufactured part was used previously, but has been reconditioned to meet or exceed the original specifications of the part. A used part has been purchased from a salvage yard.
