When looking for a genuinely experienced mechanic providing Mercedes repair in Pflugerville, TX, it is important 
who you choose to work on your vehicle and what parts are going into your vehicle. A Mercedes-Benz is like any other luxury item. It is made of high-quality parts and, when it breaks down, it needs to be restored with the same parts to maintain it’s optimal performance. For this reason, it is important to avoid aftermarket parts and instead stick to using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts installed by professionals.
The primary issue with aftermarket parts is the wide range of manufacturers and the unknown quality control process that each of those manufacturers has in place. There is no guarantee their parts will perform to the necessary level. An OEM part, however, is the exact part that was originally in your vehicle made from the same materials built using the same process. Your car will perform exactly as before and is being restored to the same standard of quality.
An apt comparison for the difference in aftermarket and OEM parts is the difference between an Apple-built computer and a PC. Each Apple computer is wholly built in-house with all software and hardware meeting the same standard and going through the same quality control process. This ensures everything functions together seamlessly. A PC, on the other hand, is composed of hardware and software from a large number of manufacturers with varying levels of quality standards. If even one of those programs or parts is lacking in quality it can compromise the integrity of the entire machine.
Cars are the same and especially high-end cars such as a Mercedes-Benz. When the manufacturer creates the parts for a vehicle they are looking at a number of different factors including quality and how well each part works together. The same company is making each part so that each piece is guaranteed to work together and function properly. With aftermarket parts, the piece may function well or it may be incompatible with your specific vehicle and increase the likelihood of failure and further damage to your motor. You are basically playing Russian roulette with your Mercedes.
An added benefit of Mercedes-Benz OEM parts is that every part you buy is under warranty from the manufacturer. So, in the small likelihood that something does go wrong, the problem will be taken care of. There is no guarantee of a warranty with aftermarket parts. This means if the part fails prematurely not only are you right back where you started but you will be paying the complete cost for a new part. This is also assuming that only the one part failed. If you used an aftermarket radiator, for example, and it failed and damaged other parts of your motor you are in for some hefty repairs.
