An aftermarket part can be defined as any car or truck part that is not made by the original manufacturer. They are less expensive. They are made to function just like OEM parts. It has its pros and cons. Quality- as the prices of these products are low, the quality too is low. Warranty- these parts do carry a warranty. Price- the cost of these aftermarket parts is less than the OEM parts. Availability- these parts are easily available in most car-repair shops.
