What Are Mopar Parts? Benefits, OEM Quality, and Jeep Parts Explained
Genuine Mopar Parts at Sansone Jeep in Woodbridge, NJ
When your Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, or Ram needs a replacement part, you have a choice. You can go with a generic aftermarket component that was built to fit dozens of different vehicles, or you can go with a Mopar part, the OEM component engineered specifically for your vehicle. That choice affects how your vehicle performs, how long the repair lasts, and what happens when something goes wrong.
At Sansone Jeep in Woodbridge, NJ, we carry genuine Mopar parts for Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram vehicles.
What Is Mopar?
Mopar is Stellantis' parts and service brand. The name is a contraction of "motor" and "parts." Chrysler Motor Parts Corporation was established in 1929 after Chrysler acquired Dodge in 1928, and the Mopar name was trademarked for antifreeze products in 1937. Today, Mopar supplies genuine parts and accessories for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Fiat vehicles in the US.
When a Mopar part goes into your vehicle at our service centre, it is the exact same component that came from the factory.
Benefits of Mopar Parts
Exact Fit, Every Time
Genuine Mopar OEM parts are designed and engineered for specific vehicle applications. For example, a part listed for a Jeep Wrangler may differ from one designed for a Grand Cherokee. Aftermarket parts vary by manufacturer and product: some are designed for multiple applications, while others are made for a specific vehicle. Check the part number and vehicle compatibility before ordering.
Factory-Backed Warranty Coverage
Many genuine Mopar parts are covered by a 24-month, unlimited-mileage limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship, but coverage depends on the part and how it is purchased or installed. Parts installed by an authorized dealership may include parts and labour coverage, while over-the-counter parts generally have different coverage terms. Review the applicable Mopar warranty for exclusions and conditions.
Built to the Same Standards as Your Vehicle
Genuine Mopar parts are designed and engineered by the same teams that develop Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles, and are tested against applicable OEM standards. Choosing a genuine Mopar part helps ensure that the replacement component is intended for the vehicle's specific application.
Supports Your Warranty and Service Records
Keeping service records and using the correct replacement parts can help document your vehicle's maintenance history. Using an aftermarket part does not automatically void a vehicle's factory warranty; coverage may be affected if a part causes damage or contributes to a covered failure. Review your vehicle's warranty terms and keep receipts for repairs and maintenance.
Available Online and In-Store: You can submit a parts request online through Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge's parts order page or contact the parts department for assistance. The team can help identify the correct Mopar parts for your vehicle and check availability or ordering options.
Drawbacks of Aftermarket Components
The appeal of aftermarket parts is usually price. They cost less upfront. That is where the advantages typically stop.
- No Guaranteed Fit: Aftermarket parts vary in design, quality, and vehicle compatibility. Some are made for multiple applications, while others are designed for a specific model. Before purchasing, verify the part number, fitment details, and manufacturer specifications to reduce the risk of compatibility issues.
- Limited or No Warranty: Aftermarket parts have different warranty terms depending on the manufacturer and product. Before purchasing, check what the warranty covers, how long it lasts, and whether labour costs are included if the part fails. These details can help you compare the total potential repair cost with the price of a genuine Mopar part.
- Variable Quality: Aftermarket parts vary in quality, materials, testing, and manufacturing standards. Compare specifications and the manufacturer's reputation before choosing a replacement. Genuine Mopar parts are designed and tested to meet applicable OEM standards for their intended vehicle applications.
- Can Affect Your Factory Warranty: Installing non-OEM parts on a vehicle that is still under factory warranty can complicate warranty claims if a related component fails. Keeping genuine Mopar parts in your vehicle removes that complication entirely.
For vehicles that see regular use, choosing a replacement part that meets the vehicle's specifications is important. Genuine Mopar parts offer an OEM-designed option for Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram vehicles. Compare compatibility, warranty coverage, and product specifications before choosing a replacement.
