Following its showcase at Automechanika Frankfurt in September 2024, the Victor Reinz Dana Secure anti-counterfeit technology continues to gain relevance in South Africa and across African aftermarket markets, where counterfeit automotive parts remain a serious concern.
Locally, Intrade Motor Parts, the official distributor for Victor Reinz, is helping to promote awareness of the Dana Secure Mobile App and its practical use in verifying genuine Victor Reinz products.
The Dana Secure App gives customers, workshops and distributors a quick and simple way to check whether a product is genuine. By scanning the Dana Secure label on the product packaging with a smartphone, users can instantly confirm product authenticity and access important technical information.
Through the app, users can view:
• Instant product authentication• Product information and specifications• Installation guides• Torque settings• Technical and safety data sheets
The technology is especially relevant in markets where counterfeit parts can place both workshops and vehicle owners at risk. For safety-critical engine sealing products, being able to verify authenticity at the point of purchase or installation adds an important layer of confidence.
Use the app and Win!
The great news is that Victor Reinz is also supporting customer engagement through a loyalty-linked lottery promotion.
Customers who purchase genuine Victor Reinz products and scan the Dana Secure label can enter the promotion, with weekly prizes available. The campaign encourages customers to scan more often, while reinforcing the importance of buying genuine parts.
For Intrade Motor Parts, the local focus is on helping distributors, workshops and end-users understand how the Dana Secure App works, why authentication matters, and how genuine Victor Reinz products can be verified quickly and confidently.
