The Transportation and Healthy Living Fair held at Gore Park on June 21, 2012 attracted hundreds of environmentally conscious commuters looking for ways to travel in a more “green” and environmentally friendly way. Located in the heart of downtown Hamilton, the fair was perfectly situated with many people enjoying the summer sun and those enjoying their lunch breaks.
Despite the sweltering heat and humidity, crowds gathered around in awe to admire the sleek design of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt – an extended range electric vehicle. Betty Greiser, sales and leasing consultant at Queenston on the Mountain, was there to meet with and introduce the crowds to a “greener” way of travel. The environmentally friendly commuters were also introduced to the new MOT “green plates” that allow drivers to travel in the HOV lane – making their commute not only “greener” but speedier as well.
Amongst participants and fellow eco-friendly enthusiasts, we are proud to say that the Chevrolet Volt stood out as the star of this event.

It would be nice if nothing ever went wrong with the vehicles we drove and they continued to perform with the same capabilities as when we first bought them. Unfortunately, sooner or later, something will go wrong with your vehicle you’ll need to replace a part. When it comes to replacement units for our vehicles, we do have a number of options. Most often, this choice is between OEM and aftermarket. The debate over which is better, will forever be ongoing, but it is important that you be informed about the difference between the two. Ultimately, it comes down to quality and budget.
OEM:
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer Part) is a part exclusively made by the vehicles manufacturer. Example: Honda OEM is made by Honda; GM is made by General Motors.
OEM parts are made from the same molds and manufacturing process as the original part. This allows for maximum performance and a perfect fit when it comes to installation. OEM parts represent a standard of quality and engineering that only the original manufacturer can authorize. Another benefit to purchasing an OEM over an aftermarket part is that we can offer warranty not only on the part, but on the labour as well.
Aftermarket Part:
An aftermarket part is made by a third-party vendor and has been deemed by the insurance industry to be a reasonable alternative to an OEM part. A common misrepresentation is that aftermarket parts are always cheaper, but this is not necessarily the case. In fact, going with an aftermarket part which is not covered under warranty, could cost you more in the long run.
At our Queenston on the Mountain and Queenston on Centennial locations, we offer a minimum of 1 year and unlimited kilometer warranty on all GM parts. Engines and transmissions we provide a 3 year warranty and 160,000 kilometer warranty for parts and labour. Our Durastop brakes include a 1 year warranty and lifetime for parts and labour. General Motors also provides various purchase options on OEM parts according to quality. Whenever you visit a Goodwrench service department, you are given the option to choose from what GM calls “Good”, “Better”, and “Best” parts.
At Image Honda, all OEM parts come with a 1 year, 20,000 kilometer warranty for parts and labour.
When visiting one of our dealerships, you know you are going to receive the absolute best service on your vehicle. Our technicians are specialized and manufacturer-trained. Each technician is required to participate in on-going training programs that keep them up-to-date to provide you, the customer, with the very best service that can be offered.
If you have any questions regarding OEM or Aftermarket parts, or you would like to schedule a service appointment, please contact us today!
