When your vehicle needs to be worked on you will typically have two options, take it to a dealership or to an independent mechanic. Both of these are excellent options with their own pros and cons associated with them, and our team at Cavender Toyota is here to break them down for our local customers.
Taking your vehicle to a dealership ensures that you are getting OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Every part is made with the same level of quality standards and is exactly the same as the part you are replacing which means it will perform exactly the same way. Most independent mechanic services will use aftermarket parts on your vehicle when performing repairs or replacements.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there are some things to keep in mind when aftermarket parts are being used. Aftermarket parts are made by other companies after reverse engineering an OEM part. Quality levels can vary significantly and sometimes may not perform exactly as it should which can cause even greater issues later.
When your vehicle needs something replaced, bring it in to 5730 NW Loop 410 today and make sure it gets the highest quality work.
