1
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: Where do my auto parts come from? Well, i'll tell

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: you what. It's a great question, listeners, and we've got

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: someone here today that's going to answer that and a

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: whole bunch of other questions. I've been talking to Aaron

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: off air, and he's a whole lot of fun. He's

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: got so much knowledge in his head about this industry

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: that you're just gonna just just just stay by your

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: radio here with us. Let's welcome Aaron Shaeffer, Aaron from

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Standard Motor Products. We're glad to have you with us today.

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about car parks.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, yeah, let's do it.

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: You know, for the listeners out there that don't know, right,

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: let's start right here. You know, vehicle control and engine

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: management's AIG, A big category, a big topic. You know

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: what falls under that because a lot's changed over the

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: past thirty years, twenty years, ten years, pick a timeframe, right, oh.

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: For sure, for sure? And even you know, as a company,

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, we've been around since nineteen nineteen, right, so

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: you can imagine how much has changed in one hundred years.

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: So you know, so a lot of folks used to

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: call us Standard Ignition, right, That's that's who we were

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: one hundred years ago, and that that evolved, and for

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: a while we were engine management, but vehicles continued to evolve.

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: We found out that we were pretty good or maybe

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: really good at making sensors, and we were able to

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: engineer and develop a lot more parts that didn't just

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: fit under the hood. You know, things like park assists

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: sensors and now ABS sensors are all components that we

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: manufacture that are part of our portfolio. So it was

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: appropriate to rename, you know, our division of the company

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: from engine management to vehicle control as we're able to

32
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: manufacture more and more parts for today's vehicles.

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't think listeners can appreciate I've been to the

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Standard Motor Products building in Long Island City, New York.

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the listeners can appreciate how big it is.

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: It's a couple of it was a couple of blocks long.

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the actual it's it's huge. It's huge.

38
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: And I was there in the nineties meeting with mister

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Sills and company and just talking about engine product and

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: or you know, vehicle product and so forth. You're one

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: of the few companies I know you've got a full

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: engineering staff. Let's go make this widget. We make this widget.

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: You know, we don't make it right the first time,

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: or something goes wrong, we make it again. We make

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: it until it's perfect. And you guys do that. And

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: there's a huge difference between. I was thought it was

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: appropriate that you were standard motor products because you are

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the standard, you know, by which everybody tries to strive

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: to be. You know, you look at other things today,

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: like you go on Amazon, Yeah, and you buy parts

51
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: from Amazon. And I can prove this as a matter

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: of fact. I've got it sitting in the shop right now.

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I've got a Purge valve somebody brought me from Amazon.

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: It's it's made in China. It's a white box. It's

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: got a Chrysler part number stamped on it. It looks

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: like the factory part, but obviously it's not. And you know,

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: what you get out of that box is very different

58
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: depending upon whose name is on it, where it really

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: came from. You know what's the problem beyond that, Aaron?

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's got to create a bunch of issues.

61
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, there's there's a lot to unpack there.

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: You know what, You're right, you know, we're an engineering company,

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: and we're a manufacturing company, right. We have our own

64
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: engineering centers. We have twenty one of our own plants

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: around the world, so we know how to engineer and

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: develop parts. Not to say that other companies don't, but

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: you know, the whole Amazon thing is it's dangerous. You

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: know that good or bad. There's no regulatory authority that

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: governs how good or bad autoparts are in our country,

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: So anybody can sell anything, and you know, you can

71
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: put whatever you You can put a piece of cheese

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: in a box and sell it as a brake pad

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: if you want it to Sure, you can do that, yep.

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: But man, you know, some of the Amazon stuff is

75
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: just really it's very very inexpensive, very inexpensive. There's very

76
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: limited testing, almost no validation, no quality control coming out

77
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: of these play its really poor cataloging, and you know,

78
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: sometimes you put it on the vehicle and the parts

79
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: just don't work. But that's actually not the worst case scenario.

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: The worst case scenarios is that they kind of work

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: and then you know, we've seen it with fuel injectors

82
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: where they end up causing damage to other engine components

83
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: because the spray angle is so far off you end

84
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: up having un bird fuel drip down the manifold onto

85
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: the cylinder walls, and all that unburnt fuel washes the

86
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: oil away, and you know, you end up, you know

87
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: if maybe scoring the bore, having a ring issue. So

88
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of dangerous things that can happen

89
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: when people are you know, make the decision to purchase

90
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 2: these these off brand, no brand, low cost parts from

91
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: somebody like like an Amazon or any non national brand.

92
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: Right, it just becomes they're dis distributing parts. I always say,

93
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, you buy something from Amazon, you have a

94
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: problem with it, they'll take it back. But if it

95
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: causes engine damage, you can't sue Amazon. You've got to

96
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: sue the manufacturer, the manufacturer somewhere in southern China, and

97
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, good luck with that. Talk about your fuel

98
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: injectors a minute, Aaron. You brought it up, you know,

99
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: because I've been reading I've been reading what's going on

100
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: over there at Standard, and you guys have really taken

101
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: your fuel injection manufacturing to another level, you know, under

102
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: the category of what's in your box. You know, if

103
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: it's a Standard injector, it's a good piece to use.

104
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: So you know, what changes have you made to the

105
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: fuel injector line recently?

106
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it continues to expand, right obviously, you know,

107
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: now we have a lot of GDI injectors in the offering.

108
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: But I think the thing that's really unique about our

109
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: program is it's still a product that's engineered at our Greenville,

110
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: South Carolina facility, and that's a manufacturing facility, So we're

111
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: manufacturing our own fuel injectors in Greenville, and this is

112
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: the only full line aftermarket fuel injection factory in the US.

113
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: So we have very good quality controls. You know, application

114
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: specific injectors, you know, even you know the little discs

115
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: that are at the end of the nozzle that dictate

116
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: spray pattern, you know those. You know, we have a

117
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: whole library of these that are application specific to make

118
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: sure they perform correctly on the vehicle. But then we're

119
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: also rounding out the program with the related components people

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: need to do the job. Right. An example of that

121
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: is our GDI high pressure fuel pump kits. You know,

122
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: you can get a low pressure code right to the

123
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: GDI system, but you don't really know what's causing it, right,

124
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: you know, it's probably the pump but there's a there's

125
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: a real chance it's the cam follower. You know, those

126
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: were out almost like a cam spud on an older

127
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: mechanical fuel injection engine. So we have everything in one box. Right.

128
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: You can buy a high pressure fuel pump kit from us,

129
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: it'll have the hardware, new cam follower, new high pressure injector.

130
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: So it's one part number. The technician or the do

131
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: it yourself or gets everything they need in one box. So,

132
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: you know, it's our goal just to be able to

133
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: bring a complete fuel injection program to the market, give

134
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: folks everything they need with parts that are going to

135
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: perform correctly on the vehicle.

136
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: What sort of what other trends are you seeing in

137
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the aftermarket categories?

138
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: Eron.

139
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys are always on top of it,

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and you know you're one of the first to think

141
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: about bringing kits like that for fuel injection anything else

142
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: that's predominant for the listeners.

143
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're the aftermarket's fortunate in the sense

144
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: that we were one of the few industries that almost

145
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: has a crystal ball. You know, we largely knew the

146
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: categories that would be big in twenty twenty five because

147
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: we started to see vehicle manufacturers evolve and use more

148
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: and more what we call advanced ICE technologies, you know

149
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: it advanced internal combustion engine technologies to meet fuel economy standards.

150
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: And people think of this that it's been like this

151
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: hard transition from gas to electric. But in between all this,

152
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: what really happened was gasoline engines got much more efficient,

153
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: they got smaller, there was less cylinders, they way more

154
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: vehicles or turbocharged, I mean fur using two turbo chargers

155
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: on a lot of these engines. They went to VBT

156
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: on almost everything. Now you've got a lot of engines

157
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: that have MFI and GDI injectors, cylinder deactivation selenoids. So

158
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: all these things started happening at scale ten fifteen years ago.

159
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Now they're in the aftermarket right because they started to fail,

160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: people didn't keep up on their service intervals. So these

161
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: are all the categories that we're seeing big growth in

162
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: the aftermarket. And then there's other little things like electronic

163
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: parking brake actuators, which weren't They didn't exist fifteen years

164
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: ago other than on a few higher end import vehicles.

165
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: Now they're on every car.

166
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Right and with a company with a company like Standard

167
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: with engineering and manufacturing. You guys can rise to the

168
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: challenge and bring it to the aftermarket. Hey, Aaron, sit tight,

169
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: We're going to pull over. Take a pause. When we

170
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: come back, I want to talk about Blue Streak, one

171
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: of my faceavorite components of Standard. I love the bruce,

172
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: the Blue Streak line and what it represents that. We're

173
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: going to talk about that on our return. I'm Ronnin

174
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: Aenie and the Car Doctor. We're here Aaron Schaeffer of

175
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Standard Motor Products. We'll both be back right after this.

176
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: Don't go away, so thanks.

177
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: For sticking with us. Ron and Aenie and the Car

178
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Doctor here, we're still with Aaron Schaeffer from Standard Motor Products.

179
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: Blue Streak ignition, Well, I know it is Blue Streak ignition. Aaron,

180
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me it's Blue Streak by Standard. I

181
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: think the name has changed a little over the years.

182
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: But Blue Streak that portion of Standard Motor Products, the

183
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: product they bring to the aftermarket and to help us

184
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: keep our cars going. Talk about Blue Streak, what does

185
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: it mean?

186
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blue Streak is really the brand that we have

187
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: that's specifically designed to give technicians more right, so that

188
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: means one or two things right. It either has specific

189
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: engineering improvements over the OE, you know it could We

190
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: do it a lot with VVT selenoids where we upgrade

191
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: the materials, potentially upgrade the designs and VVT selenoids that

192
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: had higher OE failure rates. And we do it with

193
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: ignition coils. There's other categories too. These are the major ones.

194
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: You know. There's some ignition coils. Will we will you know,

195
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: improve the body of it so it doesn't have moist

196
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: there's no opportunity for moisture intrusion. Will add internal bobbing

197
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: sections that allow the cool the coil to run a

198
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: little bit cooler, therefore allowing it to last long. But

199
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: the other component of this is within Blue Streak, we

200
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: offer a lot of complete solutions where it's one part number.

201
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: Everything is in the box to complete the job. So

202
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: we have that with blower motor resistor kits. You know,

203
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: we have it. I think I talked a little bit

204
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: earlier about the GDI high pressure fuel pump kits. We

205
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: have ignition coil multipacks. We have VBT service kits. Become

206
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: everything in the box for a complete PBT service that'll

207
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: have solenoids, hardware, gas kets, so it's really you know,

208
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: more and more technicians want they like these complete kits

209
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: kind of takes the guest work out of ordering parts.

210
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: So that's that's where we position blue streak.

211
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: Is it still designated I'm going to show my age here, Aaron.

212
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: Is it still designated by the X? So if the

213
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: part number was forty one or forty one, X was

214
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Blue Streak?

215
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: You know, not necessarily because what we've we've had to

216
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: eliminate some duplication. So with ignition and coils, now we

217
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: won't have a Standard and a Blue Streak one because

218
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: we've found out that the one with the engineering improvements

219
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: is really going to be the recommended one, right, So

220
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: it's just a much more simple part number and we're

221
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: not going to muddle it up and have a whole

222
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: lot of duplication and inventory.

223
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: It still comes in a blue box though, yep. Yeah, yeah,

224
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: that's the best part. That takes me back to my Yeah,

225
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: it takes me back to my youth fixing cars. You know,

226
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Standard's just been around forever. It's just been a great

227
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: company to work with. What's in our last minute, Aaron,

228
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: What's what's what's in the future for Standard Motor products.

229
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: What can we look forward to, Well, I.

230
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: Think you know, you'll see continued category expansion as vehicles

231
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: continue to evolve. You know, who knows what parts we're

232
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: going to be selling. You know, fifteen twenty years from now.

233
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: We already have a complete ADOS program where we're selling

234
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: park assist cameras, park assist sensors, cruise control distance sensors.

235
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: You know, if electricification takes off, you know we'll be there.

236
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: We'll be there with you know, the battery cooling components

237
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: that that'll be required. So we're just going to keep

238
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: an eye on vehicle technology and you know, continue to

239
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: engineer and manufacture the parts technicians need and needless.

240
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: To say, and I had a couple of calls recently

241
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: about this older car Buick Riviera's turn signal switches, ignition coils.

242
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: You guys still have that stuff, right, Yeah, Yeah, we've.

243
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: You know, we've been making some of these parts for

244
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: sixty seventy years and there's there's still demand for them.

245
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, we still have them in the catalog.

246
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Cool beans erin where can the listeners go get more information?

247
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Really two places, Standard brand dot com and then

252
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Wonderful, Aaron. It's been a pleasure, sir. We could sit

253
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: and chat for hours, but I know, I know our

254
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: time is done for today. But let's get together again

255
