Despite how saturated the automotive industry is, there will always be room for quality aftermarket products. We can name only a few brands out there that offer the quality as high as you’ll find with VAICO parts and its sister brand VEMO. These names belong to the VIEROL company — a German replacement part manufacturer with a long history of excellence.
VEMO – The Experts in Quality Control
VIEROL has been around for several decades. Founded in 1977, this company had the front row seats to what turned out to be one of the more decisive moments in the automotive industry — the proliferation of automotive electronics.
If there’s one thing that VIEROL knows how to do, it’s staying on top of emerging trends. The brass of this company realized that electronics are about to become an essential part of modern cars. They also realized that this part of the market would soon become highly contested.
As a result, VIEROL had founded a subsidiary called VIEROL Elecktro Motoren Oldenburg, or VEMO. The new brand had a tall order to fill. Namely, the brass over at the parent company wanted to corner and control the electronic sensor market with quality products that would offer equal or better performance than the OEM.
Needless to say, VEMO was up to the task. To this day, VEMO is one of the top-rated manufacturers of advanced automotive sensors, switches, EGR valves, emission control sensors, MAF sensors, and other automotive electronics.
The company is focused mainly on European car brands such as the VW group, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and PSA. That being said, VEMO also offers a complete range of products dedicated to Asian car manufacturers.
Zero Compromise Policy
Automotive sensors and sensor-related electronics are tasked with collecting a wide range of data. You have non-critical sensors, such as those measuring how much air pressure you have in your tires. You could still get home if one of those failed. However, there are critical sensors that measure things such as the amount of air that is entering the engine, the position of the crank, and more.
The ECU uses all of this data to control the fuel mixture and adjust the engine’s performance profile on the fly. Failure of any critical sensors often leads to a serious issue. Without sensors, the ECU is essentially flying blind and using default values as it desperately attempts to find the right performance profile and regain control of the engine.
A bad sensor can cause anything from rough idle and increased fuel consumption to no-start situations.
The engineers at VEMO understand just how important their products are. To answer the increasing demands for durability and reliability, VEMO has partnered up with the leaders in the field of advanced electronics. The company is sourcing chips and other critical components from brands such as Hewlett Packard and numerous reputable German companies who work in this field.
Engine, Transmission, and Suspension by VAICO Parts
Following the success of VEMO, VIEROL wanted to expand its market share and apply its no-compromise quality standards to other categories of automotive parts. In 1999, one year after VEMO was founded, its younger sibling VAICO parts had entered the market.
Unlike VEMO, VAICO was tasked with producing various mechanical components. As its offer grew, this company started selling complete catalogs of engine belt drive components, transmission components, engine control parts, suspension components, and even lubricants.
VAICO has positioned itself in a way that allows them to cover a segment of automotive parts that are often replaced due to wear and tear. We are talking about control arms, various bushings, drive chain guides, and many other automotive parts.
As far as quality goes, VAICO is towing the company line. Engineers from this company are keen on upholding the quality standards imposed by its parent organization, thus ensuring that their customers are presented with reliability and durability. Such a perfection driven approach to building auto parts has pushed VAICO to the top of the roster as far as top tier aftermarket manufacturers go.
VAICO Expert Kits+
Fixing cars is rarely a straightforward process. You’ll often find yourself going back and forth with your parts supplier because you either got the wrong part or didn’t get all the parts you need. Such annoying situations are completely normal. The reason why this happens is two-fold.
For one, you’re sometimes working from a position of limited knowledge, which leads you to order wrong or incomplete parts lists. On the other hand, the parts you order sometimes arrive lacking critical gaskets and seals, which leaves many wondering why?
VAICO was one of the first companies to recognize the scope of this issue. By doing so, they’ve also recognized a massive yet vacant opportunity for growth. VAICO’s solution was to put together Expert Kits+.
With Expert Kits+, you can now order complete part kits that are necessary to perform a specific job. For instance, if you want to do a timing chain job on your car, VAICO offers a kit that comes with the timing chain, timing guides, and every other component you could need already included in the box. The same applies to a transmission rebuild or something else.
That way, all you really have to do is prep the car until your parts kit arrives and get to work. What is truly remarkable about VAICO’s Expert Kits+ is the sheer selection of vehicles that are supported. With VAICO kits, you can maintain your vehicle’s engine, transmission, and other systems knowing that you’re using only the high-quality aftermarket components that are guaranteed to fit.
The Q+ Standard of Quality
Much like other brands, both VAICO and VEMO run their own quality control. The parts that meet and exceed these quality standards are labeled with the Q+ stamp of approval. When you see a Q+ tag on the packaging of either of these companies’ spares, you can rest assured that the parts you’ve just received are meeting or exceeding the high OEM standards for that specific component.
What Brands and Vehicles are Supported?
VAICO, just like their sibling brand, covers a wide variety of car brands. That being said, both of these brands are primarily focused on delivering high-quality aftermarket and OEM-level solutions for German domestic brands. In fact, the two brands combined cover around 95% of German cars that are on the road today.
If you own a car made by any of the popular German car manufacturers, there is a good chance that your vehicle is among those supported by VIEROL’s flagship subsidiaries.
