Toyota Genuine Parts and Accessories
It is always best to equip your Toyota with genuine parts and accessories, fitted and supplied by authorised Toyota Dealerships. While the surprisingly lower prices of non-genuine parts might be attractive, such are the risks of fitting non-genuine, that ultimately can become a false economy and safety concern.
The virtues of fitting genuine versus non-genuine is a long-running industry debate. However, there is no argument for the service team at Parramatta Toyota. Vehicle integrity, safety, endurance, and predictability should never be compromised. The only way we can achieve uncompromising standards is to use the certified parts and accessories designed specifically for your Toyota.
Let’s take a deeper look into why fitting genuine is a wise choice. Firstly, let’s examine the difference between genuine and non-genuine vehicle parts.
What’s the Difference Between Genuine and Non-Genuine?
Genuine Parts are designed by the manufacturer simultaneously with the vehicle. Therefore, specifications and tolerances of all parts are in every way perfect for your Toyota. Importantly, every part was constructed by Toyota and meets high-quality Toyota standards and systems before the vehicle hits the market. And this is the same for Toyota Genuine Accessories.
Toyota Genuine Accessories, such as Toyota towbars, floor mats, bull bars, and roof racks, are manufactured by Toyota and are designed specifically for each model. The vehicle was and is designed and manufactured accessory ready. Therefore, the fit is always perfect, with tolerances and capacities of any accessory explicitly tailored for seamless integration to the intended vehicle.
Non-Genuine Parts are not designed or constructed by vehicle manufacturers. They’re designed and constructed independently and often after the vehicle has been released to the market. The only similarity between genuine and non-genuine parts is they serve the same function.
Non-genuine accessories are also often generic. They are designed to be adapted to any number of vehicle types. Fitting non-genuine accessories will frequently involve modification to either the accessory or your vehicle to achieve good fit and function. Both non-genuine parts and accessories may impact the validity of your vehicle warranty.
With Toyota Genuine Parts, Accessories, and Genuine Servicing, you receive warranties upon which you can depend. When non-genuine parts are fitted, not only might parts warranties be unreliable, but it may also compromise your Manufacturer vehicle warranty.
Integrating non-genuine parts into your vehicle may have an adverse impact on vehicle performance and failure of a sub-standard part can cause failures in other vehicle systems.

While peace of mind, safety, and vehicle integrity are the premium benefits of going genuine, there’s also the fun of fitting out your vehicle with a fantastic range of genuine parts and accessories that allow you to personalise your car to suit your lifestyle.
