Mission

THE CERTIFIED AUTO PARTS ASSOCIATION (CAPA) IS AN INDEPENDENT, NON-PROFIT, THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATION ORGANIZATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE CRASH PARTS WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THAT BOTH CONSUMERS AND THE INDUSTRY HAVE THE MEANS TO IDENTIFY HIGH QUALITY PARTS THROUGH OUR CERTIFICATION AND TESTING PROGRAM. CAPA OPERATES AS AN ANSI APPROVED STANDARDS DEVELOPER FOR AUTOMOTIVE CRASH PARTS. CAPA HAS A COMPREHENSIVE TESTING AND COMPLIANCE PROGRAM WHICH PARTS MUST MEET. ONCE PARTS SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE CAPA CERTIFICATION THEY RECEIVE A CAPA QUALITY SEAL WHICH IS A TWO -PART TAMPER PROOF SEAL, WITH EACH PART CONTAINING AN INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBER FOR TRACKING PURPOSES. ONLY PARTS WITH THE CAPA QUALITY SEAL CAN BE CONSIDERED CAPA CERTIFIED PARTS. CAPA OPERATES AS A PUBLIC SERVICE WITH A FULLY TRANSPARENT SET OF STANDARDS, TOLERANCES AND PROCEDURES. CAPA'S VISION IS TO BE THE MOST TRUSTED INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR QUALITY AUTOMOTIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT PROTECT CONSUMERS.
