Company Statement of Quality and Work Performance
Prior maintains rigid control over all their remanufacturing processes but are especially strict in three basic areas.
Configuration and interchangeability: casting bodies/housing and internal parts are classified using the original manufacturers literature, drawings, specifications, and data to assure proper fit and function.
Quality Control of materials and procedures: All parts received for remanufacturing are completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned using super-heating hydroelectric washers and/or vibratory cleaners, and then inspected for flaws that would affect performance. New parts used for re-assembly are either obtained from the original manufacturer or obtained from reliable, qualified suppliers using prior generated drawing and specification sheets. Prior engineering makes drawings and specification sheets for parts using all available information from the original manufacturer, test results from continuous internal testing and data collected from long-term failure analysis programs.
Test and calibration: The final test of the device is performed to assure compliance with the original manufacturers requirements. The performance of these devices is checked using test equipment designed to subject the device to operating conditions matching its usage. Power brake unit -input-output hydraulic ratios must comply with OEM performance specifications for the vehicle they were installed on. Compressors have specified "pump up" time. Prior Automotive test device has a known volume tank fitted with accurate gauges. The time it takes for the compressor to fill the tank to the required pressure is recorded and compared to the original specification. It must meet this requirement as well as other air and oil leakage specifications before it is accepted. All devices are individually tested to assure compliance to the original manufacturers data before they are boxed.
Prior Automotive® was founded by Fred Prior, one of the pioneers of wheels and parts supply for heavy-duty trucks in the southwest during the 1920s. In the early 1950s, Prior’s rebuilding division was launched and soon grew to become an industry leader in providing remanufactured air compressors, valves, vacuum assist power brakes and other products to the independent heavy-duty truck parts and automotive industries. During the 1960s and 1970s, when power brakes became standard equipment on most vehicles, Prior Automotive became one of the first production rebuilders of brake boosters for the independent automotive parts market. In 2002 Glenn Reynolds, then acting President, acquired Prior Automotive Products. Under his leadership and guidance, the Prior brand has expanded significantly. In 2010, with the acquisition of APSCO, a power steering remanufacturer, in addition to brakes, Prior now offers a complete line of steering products, which includes rack and pinion, power steering pumps, and gearboxes for passenger vehicles.
