While we understand that many luxury car shoppers gravitate toward the most competitively priced parts for their Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model, we hope to educate you about the superiority of OEM parts. Opting for genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for sale at our Parts Department ensures proper installation of compatible auto parts. Opting for aftermarket parts, while costing less, runs the risk of damaging your Sprinter investment.

Understand OEM Vs. Aftermarket Sprinter Parts in Riverside

Mercedes-Benz always installs OEM parts in all new Sprinter models. You can identify OEM parts in your Sprinter upon confirming that they display the Mercedes-Benz logo. The logo guarantees that the part is only compatible with your van. Our certified technicians work hard at our Riverside Service Center in this respect, ensuring that the right parts are used for the right models. This stringent policy safeguards vehicular performance and the fresh appearance of your van.

In contrast, aftermarket parts generally cost less because non-Mercedes-Benz manufacturers supply them. While they can easily be used as an alternative to more expensive OEM parts, doing so goes against our best auto service practices. Aftermarket parts usually end up creating more costs, despite the lower sticker price. This occurs with the added chance of aftermarket part incompatibility and improper installation that often depreciates your vehicle.

Pros of Genuine Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Parts

We never try to hide the fact that OEM parts cost more, because we know that the benefits they provide, along with peace of mind, are worth the extra dollar:

  • All OEM parts are automatically compatible with your vehicle, preserving your Sprinter’s integrity and resale value.
  • OEM parts are more reliable and last longer.
  • OEM parts normally come with a manufacturer warranty, protecting you against costly defects.
  • The OEM parts sold at Mercedes-Benz Van Center of Riverside can be enjoyed with part offers that further benefit your wallet.
