What OEM means in a salvage context
OEM, or original equipment manufacturer, means the part was made by or for the vehicle's brand. A recycled OEM part is recovered from another vehicle. The same make and model can have different configurations, so provide your VIN and part number to help confirm the specific match.
Aftermarket parts
Aftermarket parts are made by manufacturers other than the vehicle's original supplier. Compare the specific manufacturer's application, specifications and warranty with your installer's requirements. Lucky Line offers quality aftermarket options alongside recycled OEM parts; ask which options are available for your repair.
Collision parts and electronics
Body style, trim, lighting packages and electronics can vary within a model year. Share your VIN, original part number and connector photos where available. Ask your installer whether coding, calibration or additional setup is required, and have a qualified repairer confirm the suitability of any safety related component before purchase.
Comparing the available options
Ask our team to compare the available OEM and aftermarket options for your vehicle. Confirm the part's condition, included components and applicable terms before deciding. Contact the parts desk for help choosing the right option.
