The Advantage of Genuine Subaru Parts vs. Non-OE Parts
| Genuine Subaru Parts | NON-OE PARTS |
|---|---|
| Designed to Subaru's safety and engineering standards | May not have crumple zones or meet manufacturer safety requirements |
| Precise fit | May leave unsightly gaps between body panels |
| Quicker installation | May require workarounds and additional time to achieve proper fitment |
| Primed and ready for paint | May not be primed, affecting paint adhesion and overall finish quality |
| Verified build quality | No guarantee of material or design quality |
| Proven structural integrity | Unknown structural integrity |
| Helps maintain vehicle value | Ill-fitting parts and inconsistent quality may impact resale value |
Discuss Subaru OE parts with your insurer.
Subaru Original Equipment is the closest to factory installed parts for your Subaru vehicle. To help promote the proper, safe repair of Subaruvehicles, it's important to request OE parts when taking your vehicle in for collision repair.
Where should I take my vehicle?
Ultimately, you're in the driver's seat when it comes to where to take your vehicle for repair, not your insurance company. As Subaru dealers, we maintain a high standard of customer service and repair so you can feel confident and secure your vehicle is in the right hands.
Check your policy to be sure you're covered.
Check your policy to make sure you are covered for OE parts in all instances. Oftentimes, you may be covered for "parts of the same kind and quality." Some policies may specify OE parts must be used and other policies may only cover non-OE parts.
Keep your Subaru a Subaru.
Preserve the integrity of your Subaru vehicle by receiving the proper form, fit, function, and quality you expect from Subaru Original Equipment, by using Subaru Genuine Parts.
