One of the best parts of owning a Chevrolet is making it truly yours. Whether you just drove your new Silverado off our lot or you want to add some new functionality to your trusted Equinox, genuine accessories are the perfect way to enhance your vehicle’s style, utility, and protection.
But with so many options out there, where do you start? And why is it so important to stick with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) accessories? Here at Central Chevrolet in West Springfield, we’ve put together a list of the most popular accessories our customers love and explain why choosing genuine Chevy products is always the right call.
The Unbeatable Advantage of OEM Accessories
Before diving into the fun stuff, it’s crucial to understand the OEM difference. Unlike aftermarket products made by third parties, genuine Chevrolet accessories are:
- Engineered for a Perfect Fit: They are designed by the same engineers who designed your vehicle, guaranteeing seamless integration.
- Built to Last: They meet Chevrolet’s rigorous standards for quality and durability, ensuring they stand up to the test of time.
- Warranty-Protected: Many genuine GM accessories are covered by your vehicle’s warranty (or come with their own), giving you confidence and peace of mind.
Now, let’s explore some of the most popular ways to upgrade your ride.
1. Ultimate Interior Protection: All-Weather Floor Liners
Why They’re Popular: From snowy New England winters to muddy spring hikes and summer beach trips, our vehicle’s floors take a beating. All-Weather Floor Liners are a must-have for any Chevy owner. They feature deep, sculpted channels that trap water, road salt, mud, and spills, protecting your carpet from stains and wear.
The OEM Advantage: A genuine Chevrolet All-Weather Floor Liner is custom-molded to the exact contours of your specific model’s floor plan, whether it’s a Traverse, Malibu, or Silverado. This means no slipping, no curling edges, and perfect coverage around pedals and seat mounts—a level of precision aftermarket “universal” mats simply can’t match.
2. Smart Utility: Tonneau Covers & Cargo Management
Why They’re Popular:
- For Trucks (Silverado & Colorado): A Tonneau Cover is arguably the most valuable accessory for a pickup. It secures your gear from theft and protects it from the elements. Plus, a sleek, hard or soft-folding cover can even improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
- For SUVs (Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe): Versatile Roof Racks and Cross Rails open up a world of possibilities, allowing you to easily transport bikes, kayaks, skis, or a rooftop cargo box for extra storage on family vacations.
The OEM Advantage: A genuine GM Tonneau Cover is designed for a weather-tight seal and an exact fit on your truck’s bed. OEM Roof Racks are engineered to mount securely to the designated points on your SUV’s roof, ensuring they can handle the specified weight load without damaging your vehicle’s finish or compromising safety.
3. Style and Function: Assist Steps and Splash Guards
Why They’re Popular:
- Assist Steps: Also known as running boards, these are a game-changer for any truck or larger SUV. They provide a safe, sturdy step for you and your passengers to get in and out of the vehicle easily. They also add a rugged, finished look to your Chevy’s profile.
- Splash Guards (Mud Flaps): These are your vehicle’s best defense against road debris. They protect your paint from the rocks, salt, and grime kicked up by your tires, preventing chips and scratches along your lower body panels.
The OEM Advantage: OEM Assist Steps are designed to mount directly to your vehicle’s frame for maximum strength and stability. Genuine Chevrolet Splash Guards are molded to fit your vehicle’s wheel wells perfectly, offering maximum protection without looking like a bulky add-on.
