Radio Interview - Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor Talks with Aaron Schaeffer (Standard Motor Products)
Topic: Where do auto parts come from, and what should consumers know about quality?
🏠About Standard Motor Products
Founded in 1919, originally Standard Ignition.
Now focuses on vehicle control systems, not just engine parts.
Operates 21 global manufacturing plants with full in-house engineering.
⚠️ Quality Matters: Amazon Parts vs. Standard
Many parts sold online are cheap, untested, and unsafe.
No regulatory body ensures quality in auto parts sales.
Inferior parts (e.g., purge valves, injectors) can cause engine damage.
Standard builds to OEM or better specs with proper validation and testing.
đź”§ Highlighted Products
Fuel Injectors: Made in Greenville, SC—the only full-line U.S. injector plant.
Include precise spray patterns and full install kits.
Blue Streak line: Premium parts with upgrades over OEM (e.g., better materials, moisture protection, complete kits).
🔍 Industry Trends
Rise in advanced ICE tech (turbochargers, GDI/MFI systems, VVT, cylinder deactivation).
These components are now failing in aging cars, creating aftermarket demand.
Standard also supports newer tech like ADAS sensors and is preparing for EV needs (battery cooling parts).
