More and more new vehicles are using electronic parking brakes instead of the older cable design. Parking brake actuators can be damaged in a collision and are also prone to corrosion. Standard® Electronic Parking Brake Actuators include new mounting hardware and a new seal to make installation easier. For a complete product listing, visit StandardBrand.com. 

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in today’s vehicles help to prevent injuries and save lives. Two of the most popular ADAS components that may need replacement are park assist sensors and park assist cameras. Standard’s direct-fit Park Assist Sensors utilize advanced ultrasonic technology that exactly matches the OE’s detection capabilities, and most of our vehicle-specific Park Assist Cameras are plug and play, meaning no programming is required.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a cause that SMP rallies behind year after year and 2024 was no different. In both the US and internationally, SMP locations held awareness drives, fundraisers, cancer walks and donned pink in a show of solidarity.   With so many of our mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters battling this illness year after year, we understand the importance of supporting those who have fought and won and those who are still in the fight. SMP will continue to raise money and bring awareness as well as support those who need it the most. SMP stands with you!
