Is Gates a good brand?
Founded in the US in 1911, the Gates company has been designing and developing automotive innovations for over a century. It all started with John Gates’ groundbreaking invention - the V-ribbed belt, which revolutionised car power transmission systems. Today, the brand is one of the top automotive product suppliers in the world, supplying parts for 34 OE manufacturers worldwide. The company has more than 15,000 employees and operates in over 120 locations across the globe.
What spare parts does it produce?
The brand offers both OE and OE-equivalent products for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and lorries, buses and tractors. It sells premium-quality aftermarket parts and was given a rating of 4 out of 5 stars by customers for value for money (quality/price). In addition to belt drive components, the brand catalogue includes a complete range of products for cooling systems, air intake systems, and fuel systems. It supplies key components such as thermostats, water pumps, alternator pulleys, torsional vibration dampers, hoses, and much more.
How to distinguish original Gates products from counterfeits
There are several ways to check whether you’ve bought an authentic product that meets Gates quality standards. The first option is to verify the 14-digit alphanumeric code on the packaging. You can enter it online here. Alternatively, you can read the label’s QR code using your smartphone. The brand’s products also come with a PrioSpot® label, each with its own unique code. Check that the holographic sticker shimmers under direct light and inspect the label closely. You may need to use a magnifying glass. Make sure that the last four digits of the 10-digit code under the Gates logo correspond to the security code and the last four digits of the alphanumeric code.
