The presentation discusses the four main types of vehicle parts that can be used for repairs: OEM parts, used/LKQ parts, aftermarket (A/M) parts, and reconditioned parts. OEM parts are original equipment manufacturer parts purchased from a vehicle's dealership. Used/LKQ parts are recycled parts from other vehicles. A/M parts are manufactured by third parties, some certified and some not. Reconditioned parts are refurbished parts like bumpers or headlights. The presenter works at A&J Collision Repair and provides examples of each type of part to help explain the differences.

1. Hi, I am the presenter at
A & J Collision Repair
My name is AJ Crash, my friends call
me Crash
I get asked all the time about the different
types of parts that are used on a vehicle for
repairs.
So, what I would like to do today is help you
understand what the different types of parts
are.
Let’s get started

2. There are 4 different sources
of parts that are purchased
for your vehicle.
OEM Part
Used or LKQ Part
A/M Part
Recondition Part
On the following slides I will tell you
more about each one of them.
So fasten your seat belts and lets move
on.

3. OEM Part
OEM stands for Original Equipment
Manufacture otherwise known as
dealer parts.
This is the part that is purchased from
the dealership of the make of the
vehicle that you own
Most parts that are purchased from the
dealers will be tagged with a sticker
from the manufacturer

4. OEM Part
Here is an example of an OEM part that
I got for my 2004 Honda Civic
Here is that sticker that I was
telling you about.

5. I bet you are wondering why I am
looking at these parts.
I will tell you about it in a bit, let’s keep
going with the presentation.

6. Used or LKQ Part
LKQ stands for Like, Kind and Quality and I
know you know what Used is.
The part was on another vehicle already,
and when the vehicle went to vehicle
heaven, the good parts on that vehicle
were recycled for the use on other
vehicles.
I did not know that vehicles had a donor
program, they must put it on the title.

7. Used or LKQ Part
These parts are purchased from a parts
recycling business.
These parts have to be inspected for prior
repairs or painting. The good thing about
these parts is that you will usually get
additional items with the part. ( the bracket
still attached)
This part does not match my cars color, and I
do not have a pinstripe either.

8. A/M Part
A/M Part stands for Aftermarket Part
It is a part that is manufactured by a
company other than the vehicles’
manufacturer.
There are several different types of A/M
parts. There are ones that are certified
and there are ones that are not certified.

9. A/M Part
A way that I could explain this to you
would be using an comparison. If you
pour Coke in to one glass and an off brand
of coke into another glass. They may look
the same…..
but they may not taste the same.

10. A/M Part
Now do not take me the wrong way, there
is a place for these types of parts and I
have used them before, but it is a case by
case basis.
These A/M parts are cost effective, so if
you are looking to save some money on
the repair cost, this is something to look
into.
Let’s take a look at the part. Ready?

11. A/M Part
This is the packaging and the part after it is
removed from the box. You can see that
there is not as much protection to the part
like the OEM one.
All certified parts will have this sticker of
the certification on it.

12. I have had a little mishap with the front of
my little Honda, so I have been looking
into these parts for….well myself.

13. Recondition Part
The last one that I want to tell you about is
the recondition parts. These parts are a
part that have been damaged and have
been refurbished.
These parts should be inspected for a
quality repair of the area that was
repaired as well as the coating that was
put on it.
These parts are usually plastic bumpers,
head lights and some mechanical
components.

14. No matter what part that you choose to
use, all of the parts will have a warranty to
them of some kind.
And I will assure you that the folks at A & J
Collision Repair will not install any part on
your car that they could not warranty.
Now I need to get these parts that I have
been showing you back to the parts
department before Jody notices that they
are missing.
But before I go I would like to tell you a
little about the company that I work for.
