What’s in Your Box?™
From advanced engineering and expert manufacturing to on-vehicle testing and extensive customer support, Standard® gives technicians more than just a part in a box.
When choosing automotive replacement parts, always ask these questions:
- Whose part is actually in the box?
- Does the brand have its own manufacturing facilities?
- How are the parts tested?
Here’s what’s in our box.

Testing & Validation
In-Lab Testing

On-Vehicle Validation
To ensure that every Standard® component correctly integrates within the complex electronic systems on today’s vehicles, our extensive quality control process is supported by live on-vehicle testing at the Standard® Vehicle Testing Center in Texas.
End-of-Line Testing
Before a part can be placed in the Standard® box, it must pass a strict and comprehensive end-of-line test. For example, all Standard® Cam and Crank Position Sensors are tested for timing, pulse-width and signal amplitude.
