Fragile parts
Lamps, mirrors, sensors and plastic trim receive inner foam, a separate soft wrap and a double-wall outer carton.
Quality is not a sticker on a carton. It is the sequence of checks that decides whether a reference enters our catalogue, how it is packed and what happens when a customer reports a problem.
Suppliers change, and so do the parts that arrive under the same name. We compare the OEM number, application, packaging and supplier batch before stock is accepted. Critical features are measured against a retained reference sample.
Part number, application notes and batch information are matched to the purchase order.
Critical dimensions are compared with a retained sample or original part.
Sensors and electrical parts are powered; hydraulic parts are checked for leaks and seal condition.
Approved parts are labelled, photographed and moved to the correct bin location.
Not every part needs a laboratory. But every part needs a check that matches the failure mode it is likely to face in service.
| Stage | What is checked | Typical reference | Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming | Reference, packaging, batch, surface finish | All stocked parts | Batch label + photos |
| Dimensional | Mounting holes, splines, pulley diameter, connector type | Clutch, brake, steering, electrical | Measurement sheet |
| Functional | Electrical operation, sensor output, hydraulic seal condition | Alternators, sensors, cylinders, pumps | Test note |
| Packing | Inner protection, carton strength, label and quantity | Fragile and export orders | Packing photos |
Our quality process follows documented inspection and traceability routines. Certificate copies and supplier declarations are available on request.
Quality management process for sourcing, inspection and dispatch.
Automotive-sector process controls applied to critical references.
Factory and supplier documents reviewed before catalogue approval.
Export documentation arranged when required by the destination market.
Certificates and scope documents are provided on request. Product warranty is separate from management-system certification.
Lamps, mirrors, sensors and plastic trim receive inner foam, a separate soft wrap and a double-wall outer carton.
Clutch kits, gearboxes and brake components are packed at the bottom of the load with rigid separators and reinforced corners.
Keep the carton label and photos of the installed part. Claims that pass inspection are closed with a replacement, credit or refund, whichever suits the order.
Order a sample, inspect it in your workshop and use the result to plan the next stock order.
