Genuine OEM Lexus Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

OEM Lexus parts are designed by Lexus engineers and built at Lexus factories. They are the same components that were installed in your Lexus model when it was constructed at a Lexus factory. There are components out there designed by third-parties, and unlike those aftermarket parts, Lexus OEM parts are highly regulated, only built with premium materials, and known for their durability. Other benefits of choosing to install genuine Lexus parts include:

• Lexus parts fit perfectly, are easy to install, and unlike aftermarket parts, they never require you to alter your vehicle in order to accommodate them.
• When you install Lexus components, you can rest easy knowing you haven’t voided the terms of any active warranty on your vehicle. The same can’t be said for aftermarket parts.
• OEM Lexus parts don’t depreciate residual value. Aftermarket parts are the definition of a bad investment. Not only do they tend to be made with cheap materials, but they immediately decrease the resale value of your Lexus.

Can You Buy Lexus Parts From Toyota?

Lexus has an entirely distinct brand identity from Toyota. However, Toyota owns Lexus. Many Lexus models are compatible with Toyota parts and vice versa. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that you cannot purchase genuine Toyota parts from a Lexus dealer, and you can’t purchase genuine Lexus parts from a Toyota dealer. For the sake of simplicity, we recommend just purchasing genuine Lexus parts for your vehicle to avoid the small chance that the part in question is incompatible.
