Probe Auto-Electrical Specialist Nasreen Amirudin shares her insights.
Q: With vehicle technology evolving so fast, how does Probe ensure it has the right replacement units for modern vehicles?
At Probe, we stay ahead by sourcing our aftermarket products from the world’s leading manufacturers, including Borg Warner (Delco Remy), Prestolite (Leece-Neville), CE Niehoff, and Horton. What sets us apart is our rigorous quality-checking process—every unit passes through our own electrical quality centre before reaching customers. These global suppliers constantly innovate to match evolving vehicle technology, and they often supply the same components to original equipment manufacturers. This means you’re getting OEM-quality units at competitive aftermarket prices.
Q: What options are available when choosing aftermarket replacement units?
We offer several options to suit different needs and budgets:
New branded units – Direct imports from trusted manufacturers like Delco-Remy, Leece-Neville, and Prestolite
Remanufactured units – Cost-effective solutions, particularly beneficial for older vehicles.
Q: So vehicle and fleet owners don’t need to visit OEM dealerships for replacement units?
They do not. We supply units that meet OEM specifications and hold OEM approval, which means you receive the same quality and performance at more competitive prices. Our focus is on providing the best cost of ownership—delivering quality that matches original units whilst offering superior value. When you choose Probe, you’re not compromising on specifications or reliability.
Q: What support does Probe provide beyond supplying units?
We pride ourselves on comprehensive aftermarket support that extends far beyond being a “box supplier.” Our services include:
Technical expertise – Our highly skilled staff provide technical guidance and support
