Part Position
For multiple parties, we may have many options available. While price and warranty may vary, it is important to know that they will all fit and function the same; We offer multiple options to satisfy just about every customer.
New OEM – This is a new part of the same company that supplies your car manufacturer. Toyota or Nissan will make things like body parts and assemble the entire car, but smaller components like electronics or AC compressors are more likely to be made by an OEM supplier like Denso or Bosch that sells to those automakers. We have relationships with the same companies, which means we can offer you the exact same parts you’d get from the dealer without your markings.
Remanufactured OEM – This is when an OEM supplier will re-manufacture your old parts, using some of the same components and sometimes even in the same facility where the new parts are manufactured. This is most common for heavy-duty diesel parts such as turbochargers, fuel injectors and injection pumps. Rebuilt parts may often require a central depot; This is a temporary fee that is added at checkout, fully refundable if you return the original part to us. This allows us to continue to offer re-manufactured items, reducing waste and keeping parts costs low.
New Aftermarket – This is a brand new part that is guaranteed to fit and function as an OEM part. Aftermarket manufacturers like us will refer to Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) published by automobile manufacturers, so our new parts will include any design and performance enhancements that are tested and verified.
Aftermarket Remanufactured – This is an OEM part backed by the same warranty as a new part professionally run by us in the USA as new. Rebuilt parts may often require a central depot; This is a temporary fee that is added at checkout, fully refundable if you return the original part to us. This allows us to continue to offer re-manufactured items, reducing waste and keeping parts costs low.

OEM Part Number
An OEM part number is a part number assigned to an item by the automaker, and is the most reliable way to ensure that a part matches. Since our product cataloging is tested only on US market vehicles, it is also the only way to guarantee fit on a non-US vehicle. There are also some parts that only work for models with a specific option; Perhaps a steering rack meant only for models with a variable assisted steering option, or a replacement radio with a fairly specific list of features. If you are unsure of some specific options for your vehicle, we can look up any of the OEM part numbers for your original part to see which replacement option they match.
There are a few ways to find out the OEM part number of the item you need to replace. It can be printed or stamped on the part itself. If not, you may be able to contact a local dealer with your VIN, and they can look it up for you. Some manufacturers also have online catalogs available that list each OEM part number for a specific VIN; realOEM.com works for BMW, ToyoDIY.com works for Toyota, and there may be more to other manufacturers. If a mechanic has diagnosed a problem with your vehicle, they may be able to locate the part number for you using the online service manual available to many professionals.
OEM Part Brand
We may have an OEM part brand specified if two different versions of a part are available for the same vehicles. This may be because a model was made in two different factories or it may be tied to a different option which is harder to verify on your vehicle.
On our website, the search result will say something like “Fits 2.0L model with Sandon compressor” or “Fits 5.3L model with Delphi HU6”. You can check your original part for the company name tag or compare it to the photos on our website. We can even check your OEM part number to see which option it matches!
