Get the parts that were made for your car, not everyone's car

When you have a car repair, it might be tempting to try saving a few dollars by visiting a local "do it all" repair shop and letting them install cheaper replacement parts. They might tell you their parts are "just as good" as GM parts at Jim Stykemain Chevrolet Buick GMC in Sturgis, MI but your GM vehicle can tell the difference. So will you when that cheaper part fails and results in a big repair that costs a lot more than you saved in the first place.

Parts designed for all cars don't fit any car very well

Your genuine GM truck, sedan or SUV was built with genuine GM parts and accessories that were precision-built to fit your vehicle perfectly. Non-GM mechanics may tell you the part is "universal" and will work "just fine." But you can be sure the fit won't be the same as the right part made by GM. That's why the performance won't be the same as you drive around Coldwater MI or Elkhart IN, and the life expectancy could be a whole lot less.

The strength of GM's warranties reflects the quality of GM parts

Not every part comes with a warranty, especially when it comes to generic parts while most Genuine GM Parts have a nice, strong warranty. For example, GM Original Equipment brakes, rotors and alternators are covered by a 24-month/unlimited-mile warranty, providing peace of mind for GM owners in Angola and LaGrange IN. Genuine GM replacement parts like fuel pumps have an amazing lifetime parts warranty and a 24-month labor warranty.

Select replacement parts by GM subsidiary ACDelco are covered by a warranty that stays in effect for 12 months or for an unlimited number of miles within that period. These are parts like wheel bearings, shocks, struts and brakes. For the long-term reliability you want on the roads around Three Rivers, MI, have your vehicle serviced regularly at Jim Stykemain Chevrolet Buick GMC in Sturgis, MI.
