Spectra Premium has become the first and only manufacturer of CAPA-certified radiators. certified its first CAPA products to become the first and only manufacturer of CAPA Certified radiators.

The Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) was established to set up and oversee a testing program to assure the suitability and quality of automotive replacement parts.

“This achievement is another testament to our commitment to always go above and beyond our customers’ needs,”  said Jason Best, senior vice president, aftermarket, Spectra Premium. “The new CAPA 601 certification for the radiator category clearly differentiates our Spectra Premium from other radiators in the collision industry. We are proud and honored to be granted this first-in-the-market CAPA product certification, which consolidates our efforts to position the Spectra PremiumTM brand as the first choice for superior quality automotive replacement parts.”

For the first time, Spectra radiators are identified as a certified collision replacement part under the CAPA 601 Radiator Standard, which assesses fit, material composition, dimensions, appearance, function, construction and retaining features. The CAPA fraud-proof and trackable seals on the parts ensure that repair shop installers and vehicle owners are getting superior-quality, certified aftermarket radiators.

“Spectra Premium’s compliance with CAPA’s comprehensive standards is the best insurance the market can get to avoid the serious consequences of a poor quality, ill-fitting and underperforming radiator,” said Best. “As engine technology becomes more and more sophisticated, the need for precise, accurate, and effective cooling systems has become critical.  Going forward, the demand for quality alternative radiators will increase exponentially, and Spectra PremiumTM is the first to meet that demand.
