Ignition coils can lose spark energy over time, causing poor fuel mileage and reduced performance and if one coil fails, it is likely the others are on track to fail. Blue Streak Ignition Coil Multipacks include a full, matched set of new, better-performing coils, saving time, restoring performance and reducing comebacks. SMP said other popular kits include complete Standard Turbocharger Kits, Oil Filter Housing Kits, and Fuel Injector Multipacks and Blue Streak Blower Motor Resistor Kits, Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensor Kits, Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Service Kits and VVT Solenoid Kits. In the past two years, specific Blue Streak Kits have been awarded the Best New Product of the Year and Best Problem-Solver by the Import Vehicle Community, a community of the Auto Care Association.
New coverage has recently been introduced across many of these categories, according to SMP. Blue Streak GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pump Kits have been released for 3.7 million General Motor vehicles, like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze, 2019-18 Chevrolet Equinox, and 2019-18 GMC Terrain. Standard Oil Filter Housing Kits are new for multiple popular makes and models, including the 2024-19 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2024-19 RAM 1500, 2024-19 Dodge Durango, 2016-11 Volvo S60, and more. Blue Streak Cam and Crank Sensor Kits have been released for a variety of popular Ford vehicles, and Standard Turbocharger Kits are new for Ford, Volvo, and General Motors vehicles like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Encore, SMP said.
Commenting on the expansion, John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at

First, it helps technicians perform a complete repair without having to chase parts from multiple places. Additionally, service writers find it easier to explain one line item on an invoice rather than a list of parts. Whatever their reason, they look to Standard and Blue Streak for complete repair solutions.” The post

The aftermarket future is bright for
link hidden, please login to view as a trio of company executives noted during a media conversation at link hidden, please login to view. Masahiro Shiiya, president, AISIN Global Aftermarket; Scott Turpin, president and CEO, AISIN World Corp. of America; and Dwayne Bates, senior vice president, Aftermarket, AISIN World Corp. of America discussed a range of topics about their plans for the global aftermarket segment, including the formation of AISIN Aftermarket & Service of America Inc., as well as an expanded product lineup. “It’s Mr. Shiiya’s vision—he’s been looking at building a maintenance empire from the top all the way down to the tire. Any maintenance-related issue, he’s going to try to fix it,” Bates said in an interview after the press conference. “He’s been focusing on wiper blades, filters—anything that would be a common maintenance part—and tires are included in that. So we’ve partnered with a tire manufacturer and developed our tires.”
AISIN had a range of tires on display in the booth under the AITERRA brand name, including the AIECO EC50 tire for passenger cars, the AICROSS CR60 for SUVs and the AIWAGON WA70 for delivery van applications.
The creation of
link hidden, please login to view was another big headline for the company at the show. The new company will be formed through a merger between AWTEC—an AISIN company focused on transmission remanufacturing—and the aftermarket business unit of AISIN World Corp. of America (AWA). With this move, AISIN leadership said it will expand its manufacturing capabilities for service parts, leveraging and uniting the combined expertise of AWTEC and AWA Aftermarket Sales. Operations also will be streamlined and optimized to increase efficiencies and better position the aftermarket team for growth. “Right now, the merger here in the US is just taking place. It’ll be effective April 1,” Bates explained. “With this merger, it’s not a departure from what we normally have done. We sell 80% of AWTEC-branded product through our sales organization already. It’s an alignment and correlation of our departments, making it more streamlined and more effective for the customer.”
There also was plenty of talk about the future of the automotive market and the impact of new vehicle technologies.
“One of the things that is changing is the parts proliferation from everybody,” said Larrow Kaufman, senior sales manager for the North American Aftermarket at Aisin World Corp. of America. “We’re looking at ICE vehicles and asking, ‘Is that part mix changing in regard to cars being more reliable now than they’ve ever been.’ Then, on the EV vehicle side, we ask, ‘Are some of those parts the same or are they different?’ I think everyone is looking to decide what the next thing is and make sure that they have the product range to cover that.”
Then, there was the big question: What’s the outlook for 2025?
“One of the nice things about the automotive aftermarket is that, regardless of what we’ve been through—be it COVID, be it pre-pandemic, be it post-pandemic—we’ve been relatively steady,” Kaufman said. “I think the market’s still looking at single-digit growth throughout the year, and we plan to take advantage of that.”
