What is Original Parts Replacement?

Original Parts Replacement, also known as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Coverage, is an optional car insurance coverage that can help make sure covered repairs to your vehicle use the same parts your vehicle was built with. This means the parts used to make the repairs, are built by the same company that built your car (when available). This could be anything from a headlight to an engine.

What if OEM parts aren't available?

There are some cases when OEM parts aren't available because they're not built anymore, not distributed, or for other reasons. In this case, estimates may include a new non-OEM part or reconditioned OEM part.

What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket parts?

The difference between OEM and aftermarket parts is who makes them.
  • Original Equipment Manufacturer: These parts are designed and built by the original company that built the vehicle and can be more expensive.
  • Aftermarket parts: These parts are built by other companies and can be less expensive.

Now, price isn't everything. There are plenty of companies that make aftermarket parts that are of similar quality.

What cars can get OEM insurance?

Some insurance companies don't offer OEM insurance, so you'll want to check with your company to see if that's the case.
