When your car needs repair, there’s always a choice between using genuine Porsche parts or aftermarket parts. As your Porsche dealer, we believe you and your car deserve the highest quality repair possible, so we will only ever use genuine parts. These are some of the reasons why genuine parts are superior to others.
They’re Made for Your Car
Genuine parts are made by Porsche, and they’re identical to the ones that were used to build your car. These parts are the result of countless hours of design and engineering, and they’re built to the recognized standards. Each component in your car has been designed to fit perfectly and to operate at the highest level of efficiency.
Aftermarket parts, in contrast, are made by a variety of international manufacturers. They are copies of genuine parts, but they aren’t manufactured to the same standard. Aftermarket parts are intended to fit a variety of different vehicle makes and models and this affects their performance. Since these parts are designed for different vehicles, they will not fit as precisely as the original parts.
They Have a Warranty
Since genuine parts are identical to the original parts on your car, they will work identically and last for the same length of time. Each genuine part carries a warranty from Porsche that confirms it will work correctly for a set period. In the unlikely event of a problem with a component, it will be replaced by any dealership for free.
Aftermarket parts don’t carry a warranty as they’re not specifically built for your Porsche. The manufacturers can’t guarantee that a part will work identically to an original nor that it will last as long as a genuine part. The lack of a warranty is a problem, especially if a part is defective. If an aftermarket part is used in a repair and it fails, you have to pay for a replacement.
You Preserve Your Car’s Value
In the future, you may want to sell or trade your car for a new Porsche model. When you do this, the parts that have been used in any repair will affect the value of your car. If any repairs have been completed by a dealer using genuine parts, the buyer will have confidence that the repair has been correctly performed.
If aftermarket parts have been used and installed by a non-dealer, the buyer will have less confidence in the standard of the repair. A lack of confidence in the quality of a repair directly translates into a lower value for your car.
We don’t compromise on the quality of the repair we can provide or your safety, so we only use genuine Porsche components. If you’d like to know more or to book a repair, call our service department at Porsche West Broward.
