Standards
Aftermarket parts do not have to meet the manufacturing standards that are uniformly applied to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. This certainly speaks volumes about their safety and reliability. OEM parts are the only parts that have an OSHA Material Safety Data Sheet. 
Warranty
Generally aftermarket parts do not have the warranties that OEM parts have. Furthermore, use of aftermarket parts can invalidate your warranty, if those parts are shown to be the cause of a malfunction. Find out aboutservice specials that can help you maintain your warranty.
Value
Aftermarket parts may cost less up front but are they worth their price? Studies show that the use of aftermarket parts can decrease the overall value of a vehicle when it comes to resale. If it causes an early breakdown or invalidates a warranty, an aftermarket part definitely is not worth its asking price. Unreliable parts can cause problems that have repercussions for other components, causing a domino effect that leads to more expensive repairs down the road.
Maintenance and Repairs
OEM parts are critical to the success of maintenance and repair. From spark plugs to ball joints, every part must fit exactly. If it is off by a millimeter, it can't do its job properly. The material must be equal to the task. It must be able to stand pressure or heat. It must be just as elastic or tough as the material in the part that was replaced.
