PULLING OUT

®

ALL THE STOPS

REMY continues to invest in product offerings to provide the aftermarket with quality components and environmentally sustainable options .
Established as a leading OES manufacturer and remanufacturer of starters and alternators , Remy also has a solid reputation in supplying the UK and Europe with quality brake calipers . To maintain its position in the current aftermarket , Remy has teamed up with its sister company , Brake Parts Inc ., to further enhance Remy ’ s braking programme and deliver a more robust offering .
QUALITY AND DIVERSITY
The merger with Brake Parts Inc . is in line with Remy ’ s efforts to remain ahead of the market in range development and latest technologies . In this year alone , Remy is on track to launch approximately 300 more brake calipers and 300 starters and alternators .
In order to maintain the standards determined by these certifications , Remy has to continually seek new strategies in order to improve their facilities and product quality .
This endeavour has led to a trickle-down effect on Remy ’ s research and development team to identify inherent issues of existing OE components . Through part re-engineering , Remy is able to eliminate the shortcomings of the component .
Furthermore , Remy ’ s commitment to deliver quality remanufactured components allows them to supply a full range of quality parts at a competitive price whilst doing their part in maintaining environmental sustainability . Currently , Remy ’ s competitive range of starters and alternators stands in excess of 5,000 parts , covering light-duty ( including stop-start ), LCV and heavy-duty applications . Remy ’ s brake caliper range ( including EPB calipers ) stands at around 3,300 part numbers .
QUALITY SUPPORT . WARRANTY ASSURANCE .
Remy ' s continual investment in improving processes and remanufacturing plants have resulted in an extension of the warranty period to 3 years for their range of light-duty starters and alternators .
In many instances of warranty claims , Remy has found that the part was not faulty . It is often misdiagnosed because the Remy part showed the effect of the failure rather than the actual cause of it .
OE SPECIFIC
All Remy units are manufactured to OE specifications and are all subjected to an end of line test on a state-of-the-art test rig . Only when the component passes the test and receives a verification label , is it released into the aftermarket . The verification label ensures traceability with a barcode , OE part number , production plant and is linked to the data stored on the test rig .
To avoid unnecessary claims , Remy provides installers with technical bulletins and tips to ensure proper installation . These bulletins can be found on the F : Drive , MAM Autocat and www . partinfo . co . uk .
Remy parts are available from FPS via same / next-day delivery . Speak to your FPS representative to find out more .
Remy ’ s facilities are fully certified to ensure that the products are safe , reliable and of the highest quality .
