Did You Know? Episode 2 – Inside DFC’s Quality Control with Eric Romero

At Dynamic Friction Company, quality is more than a step in the process. It is the foundation of everything we do. In the second episode of our Did You Know? video series, we give you an inside look at how DFC ensures every brake part that leaves our facility is ready to perform with OE-level precision. This time, we are shining the spotlight on our Quality Control team, led by Eric Romero, QC Supervisor.

A Closer Look at DFC Quality Control

Every day, our QC engineers inspect 30 parts per shift. Each of those parts is verified against a minimum of five key specifications. That means more than 70,000 brake parts and over 350,000 specifications are inspected and verified by our team every year. This level of detail allows us to provide aftermarket brake components that meet or exceed OEM standards and give shops and distributors complete confidence in every order.

What Sets Our QC Process Apart

Many aftermarket brands focus only on production volume, but at DFC, we focus on performance and reliability. Our inspection process covers critical areas such as rotor runout, thickness, chamfer angles, coating adhesion, and packaging integrity. If a part does not meet our strict requirements, it does not move forward. We do not recycle or reuse parts that fail inspection. They are discarded so only the best reaches your shelves.

Why It Matters to Shops and Distributors

Your reputation depends on every part you install or sell. With DFC quality control, you know the brakes you provide are backed by a rigorous inspection process. For technicians, this means fewer comebacks and greater confidence at the lift. For shop owners and distributors, it means consistent quality, fewer returns, and a reliable supply of OE-matched brake solutions. Every step we take in quality control is designed to support your success in the bay, at the counter, and in the warehouse.

Our Commitment to Reliability

At DFC, we understand that you need more than just parts. You need assurance that those parts will perform right out of the box. Our QC team ensures that each component is tested, verified, and ready to meet the demands of today’s vehicles. From daily drivers to high-performance builds, you can trust DFC to deliver the consistency, safety, and reliability your customers expect.
