When you need a repair, the type of parts used significantly impacts the quality of the repair. There are two main types of parts: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. As your Buick dealer, we want to tell you more about these parts and why OEM parts are the best choice for all your repairs.
They’re High-quality
OEM components are designed and built to the same high-quality standards as the original parts on your car. They come off the same production lines and are built by the same manufacturers. The only real difference is that OEM components were chosen as replacement parts rather than used to build another Buick. This also means they have an identical lifespan to the parts they replace.
Aftermarket parts aren’t made to the same standards. They are cheaper than OEM components, but the reduced price comes with hidden future costs. They’re made from lower-grade materials, reducing their potential longevity and making them more prone to break or fail than OEM components. If an aftermarket part fails, it can also lead to damage to other components.

Your tires are subject to constant wear as you drive due to friction with the surface. They can also be damaged by environmental conditions like extreme heat or cold and even direct sunlight. Safe driving requires good tires, and as your Buick dealership, we’d like you to know some of the signs you need to visit us for new tires.
Signs You Need New Tires from Your Buick Dealership
Low Tread
The tread is the raised section of a tire that’s in contact with the surface. Due to this surface contact, it’s also the part of the tire that will wear the fastest due to the constant abrasion. It’s interspersed with grooves that serve to channel water or mud backward to prevent it from collecting underneath the tread and potentially causing the tires to skid.
As the tread level drops, you’ll notice that your brakes take longer to work, and handling, particularly on wet surfaces, becomes more difficult. The minimum safe tread depth is 2/32″. If your looks low, you can test it with a tread depth gauge or by visiting our service department where we’ll check it for you. If your tread is low, we can replace any worn tires so you can drive safely again.
