FAQs - OEM vs Aftermarket Parts

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by Bentley or a Bentley-approved supplier. Aftermarket parts are produced by other companies. OEM parts are specifically designed for your vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance. Aftermarket parts may vary in quality and compatibility.

Choosing genuine OEM parts ensures that your Bentley maintains its original performance and reliability. OEM parts are manufactured to the same high standards as the original components, offering a perfect fit and long-lasting durability. They also help preserve your vehicle's value.

Are OEM parts more expensive than aftermarket?

While OEM parts may sometimes be slightly more expensive than aftermarket options, the investment is often worthwhile. OEM parts offer superior quality, reliability, and a perfect fit, which can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements. Consider the peace of mind that comes with OEM parts.

Do aftermarket parts void my warranty?

Using aftermarket parts may potentially void certain aspects of your warranty, depending on the part and the nature of the repair. Using OEM parts ensures that your warranty remains intact. Always consult your warranty documentation or our service advisors for specific details.

Which parts should always be OEM?

Safety-critical components such as brakes, airbags, and engine parts should always be OEM. These parts are essential for the safe operation of your vehicle.

FAQs - Specific Parts

How often should I replace brake pads?

Brake pad replacement frequency depends on your driving habits and conditions. In general, brake pads should be inspected during every service. Replacement is typically needed every 30,000 to 70,000 kilometers, but this can vary. Schedule a brake inspection at Bentley Oakville for an accurate assessment.

When do I need new rotors vs just pads?
