Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. formally announced brake caliper production has commenced at the company’s recently opened 370,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facilities located in Tijuana, Mexico.

The company’s replacement brake calipers are engineered and manufactured to fit and perform like original equipment. 

The brake calipers feature a specially formulated zinc-dichromate finish designed to provide superior corrosion protection in the harshest environments. The OE-style plated coating is tested for 72 hours with continuous salt-spray exposure to evaluate lasting corrosion protection. The company’s premium brake caliper program, by application, provides 100 percent replacement with new phenolic pistons, ensuring worry-free performance. For a complete repair solution, each caliper unit is assembled with 100 percent new dust boots and EPDM rubber seals, and includes application-specific brake pad installation hardware and application-specific brackets.
