Why Using Genuine OEM Parts for Auto Body Repair 

At Webb Chevrolet of Farmington, New Mexico, we understand that your GMC truck, SUV, van, or sedan is an investment. That’s why our auto body repair shop has worked so hard to develop an unbeatable reputation for excellent service. Customers in the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Durango, and Chinle areas see us as their go-to resource for critical repairs and servicing because they trust our expertise.

A big part of our success is ensuring that our GM-certified technicians, mechanics, and auto body repair specialists work with GM-certified OEM parts.

So, why is it so important that only genuine OEM parts are used? After all, aren’t there plenty of after-market parts that are less expensive and can get the job done? Read on to learn why we only use OEM parts.

GM-Certified Technicians, Mechanics, and Auto Body Specialists

Let’s start with the most important reason to use Genuine OEM parts: Web Chevrolet’s factory-trained technicians, mechanics, and auto body specialists have passed multiple General Motors Automotive Service Educational Program (ASEP) modules and tests. They are GM-certified experts who work and service GM vehicles day in and day out.

Our GM-certified technicians and auto body repair specialists are constantly updated on GM’s latest training modules, approaches, and processes, and they actively encourage one another to be their best. They know what works and what doesn’t for multiple GMC trucks, SUVs, vans, and sedans. They know how replacing a single part only works if it improves the performance of the parts it’s joined to.

Our facility's diagnostic equipment uses GM-proprietary software and is designed with the latest GM vehicle technology. This equipment performs best with OEM-certified parts because they were designed to analyse those parts.

Whether replacing rotors, brakes, alternators, starters, undercarriage components, or other critical parts, you are assured that only the best parts are being used and that only the best-trained people are using them.

Warranty

Not only does using GMC-certified OEM parts ensure we respect your warranty, but in many cases, the replacement parts come with extended warranties. When possible, we use these extended warranties with recent savings and deals to save you even more.

    High-Quality Standards

    OEM parts are designed to meet the stringent requirements of GMC vehicles. These parts are precision-engineered and have undergone extensive testing. Sometimes, the parts are tested by a third-party laboratory to ensure the highest possible quality.
    After-market parts don’t go through the same amount of testing. Whatever testing is done is on a much smaller scale, and in some cases, there’s almost no testing at all.

      Safety

      All that testing on OEM parts is done so they meet the strictest federal guidelines and safety standards. For us, it’s about restoring your vehicle to its original condition and ensuring the part we’ve used is safe.

        First-Rate Material Selection

        GMC is extremely meticulous and detailed when selecting materials to make their parts. These parts are designed to withstand different terrains, environmental conditions, weather, and temperatures.

        GMC is a forward-thinking automotive manufacturer constantly testing durable, lightweight materials. These high-strength, lightweight materials improve fuel efficiency, driving performance, maneuverability, and handling.

        After-market part suppliers typically use heavier, bulkier materials because they cost less. They focus more on trying to match the dimensions of the OEM part – and not necessarily its weight and performance.
