It’s a tribute to the commitment of the manufacturers who choose to CAPA certify their parts, and thereby meet CAPA’s comprehensive standards, which CAPA makes available to the public.”
Debbie Klouser, CAPA’s Director of Operations added, “CAPA’s priority has always been to ensure that high-quality, certified aftermarket parts are an option for insurers, repairers, and consumers. The bright yellow and blue CAPA quality seal, every one with a unique number for traceability, lets the industry know it can depend on the safety, performance, and reliability of parts that are CAPA Certified.”
