Where Can I Purchase Certified Kia Auto Parts in Morristown, TN?

Avoid traveling to Jefferson City for aftermarket and high-performance parts by getting them from the source. Several vendors will try to mimic exact make and model parts and accessories but won't get it right - making accessories look awkward and cheap. At Rusty Wallace Kia, we take pride in carrying genuine original manufactured and aftermarket parts and accessories for casual and high-performance vehicles. Check out some frequently asked questions our White Pine locals got answered from our professional service center.

What Are OEM Parts?

"Original Equipment Manufacturer" parts are created for unique car models by the manufacturer, which in this case, is Kia. These are your vehicle's exact-matching parts that include a limited warranty. Car Dealerships use your VIN Number to find the right OEM part for your car, truck, or SUV. When you buy OEM, you guarantee high-quality, a protected warranty, and availability worth the price.

What Are Aftermarket Parts?

An aftermarket part is any part for a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that is not sourced directly from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Though they tend to cost less and are readily available at most retail sources, their cheap price can suggest cheap quality, and a warranty is not guaranteed. If you happen to buy an aftermarket part that doesn't work out, you could potentially spend more than you would the first time on an OEM part.

Expensive Part Repairs

• Transmissions - $4,000 to $5,000
• Brake Lines - $1,000
• Suspensions - Up to $3,000
• Cylinders - Up to $10,000
• Hybrid battery - $6,000 and up

If you're looking for a quick fix with an aftermarket part, you not only risk the operation of your vehicle, but you also risk having to start over and buy OEM parts in the end - which could cost you double of what you planned on spending. Do it right the first time and choose OEM.
