Genuine vs aftermarket — what’s the difference?
Genuine OEM means the part is made by the original manufacturer (or licensed supplier) for that specific make. Higher price, guaranteed fit, longer life. Aftermarket parts are made by third-party manufacturers — quality varies wildly, from excellent OE-spec equivalents to bargain-bin units that fail early.
At Abossey Okai, both are sold openly. The trick is knowing which aftermarket brands to trust. We label every part we source so you know what you’re paying for.
How to avoid fake parts
- Check the packaging — genuine parts have crisp printing, correct logos, and security holograms.
- Compare the part number against your vehicle’s OEM number.
- Buy from established shops with signage, not roadside stalls.
- Insist on a warranty or exchange policy for expensive items (alternator, starter, battery).
- Use a sourcing service that inspects parts before delivery.
