You may have heard the terms OEM and aftermarket parts before, but let’s take a minute to understand what the differences are and why it might affect you. At %%di_name%%, we only offer Genuine Mazda dealership parts for our %%target_city_3%% drivers, and here’s why.

Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts

OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer,” which means that OEM replacement parts are designed in the same way as the original parts of the vehicle.The benefits of OEM parts are that they’re easy to find at %%di_name%%, you know they’ll work, and they’re backed with a warranty guarantee.

Aftermarket Parts

You can find aftermarket parts at automotive stores, parts stores, and from independent mechanics. While they often come with a lower price tag, there is usually a huge selection, and it can be difficult to figure out which part is the right one for your specific car. Aftermarket parts also don’t typically come with a warranty, and in certain cases they can actually void your vehicle’s warranty.

Genuine Mazda Dealership Parts

With Genuine Mazda Parts, you’re assured of superior quality and fit, corrosion resistance, warranty coverage, and safety. Every part has been specifically designed and engineered for your Mazda vehicle, so you can be sure that your vehicle is getting just what it needs. These are the only parts that are covered by your Mazda warranty, so if your car is still under warranty, you definitely want to opt for genuine Mazda parts. If your vehicle is involved in an accident, you’ll want to use OEM parts to ensure an accurate fit and safety.

If you’ve noticed that your vehicle is leaking while you’re driving around %%target_city_3%%, you probably have two questions on your mind: One, why is your car leaking? And two, what exactly is leaking from it? Even if you don’t have a new %%di_makes%%, %%di_name%% can help you answer both of these questions:

• Pink/Red Fluid: If you see pink or red fluid leaking from your car, don’t worry. It’s likely either power steering fluid or transmission fluid. Our highly-qualified technicians at %%di_name%% can help diagnose whether the problem affects the transmission or power steering system.
• Dark Brown Fluid: Another slightly disgusting appearance, dark brown fluid typically involves issues with either brake fluid or motor oil. Motor oil turns dark brown and becomes more viscous after a significant amount of time. Either of these issues can result in potentially life-threatening problems, so be sure to take your vehicle into a service center as soon as you notice dark brown fluid.
• Light Brown Fluid: Typically, light brown fluid indicates either motor oil or gear lubricant. The way you can tell is that gear lubricant has a significant odor, while motor oil only smells if it is on fire.
• Green Fluid: The presence of green fluid is usually a clear indication of antifreeze leaks. This problem is often caused by loose hoses or clamps. Make sure you’re using the right antifreeze by checking your owner’s manual.
• Blue Fluid: Blue fluid is 99.9% of the time windshield wiper fluid. This is an easy fix as our %%di_city%% technicians can quickly identify leaking components and patch the system up to ensure it does not continue to leak.
• Clear Fluid: Fortunately, clear fluid leaks are nothing to be worried about. In fact, if you notice clear fluid, %%di_name%% has some good news for you: Your vehicle’s air conditioning system is working properly, and the fluid you’ve noticed is simply condensation emitted from this system.
