Why OEMs Recommend TQS (Even If They Don’t Say It Publicly) 👂

If you’re a Tier 1 supplier navigating OEM requirements, you’ve probably heard someone say:

“The OEM recommended TQS.”

But you may be wondering—why doesn’t TQS name specific OEMs or provide exact locations?

Let’s unpack that, and more importantly, explain what it means for you.

The Real Story: How OEM Recommendations Actually Work

OEMs don’t issue formal endorsements for third-party providers. At the corporate level, it’s not part of their playbook. Even at the plant level, Quality Engineers rarely make official statements.

Instead, here’s how it really happens:

Quality Engineers who’ve worked with TQS informally recommend us—in meetings, on the floor, and during the moments when your team is under pressure to fix a quality issue fast.

These are the recommendations that matter most. Quiet, direct, and trusted—because they come from experience.

And these are the kinds of referrals that have helped TQS become the go-to liaison provider across North America.

Why Does This Matter to You?

Here’s what being the quietly recommended partner actually means for Tier 1 suppliers like you:

✅ Faster Plant Access = Faster Resolutions

TQS is badged at most OEMs across North America. That means:

• No waiting on visitor passes

• No headaches coordinating plant access

• No delays getting eyes on the issue

You don’t waste time. We’re already where you need us.

✅ Trusted by the People Who Matter Most

When an OEM sees repeated NCTs from a supplier, they often require a Quality Liaison on-site. Many times, they don’t just make the requirement—they recommend us by name.

When that happens, it’s not just about having someone on-site—it’s about having the right someone.

Our reps are known for:

• Proactive problem-solving

• Clear communication

• Fast alignment with OEM expectations

That earns trust quickly—and gets you back on track sooner.

✅ Networked Across OEMs—So You Don’t Miss a Thing

Because we serve multiple OEMs, we have a wider view than most. If a potential issue is spotted at one plant, we can instantly alert our reps at other OEM sites before the problem spreads.

This allows us to:

• Prevent bad parts from reaching the line

• Catch issues in transit or at the sequencer

• Maintain control across your supply chain

That’s not something every liaison partner can do—but it’s something TQS does daily.

Who’s Recommending Us? Let’s Just Say You’ve Heard of Them

We won’t publish logos or name-drop brands, because OEMs don’t do public endorsements.

But here’s what we can say:

TQS is quietly, consistently recommended by Quality Engineers at every major OEM in North America.

• Ford

• Toyota

• GM

• Honda

• VW

• Stellantis

• BMW

• Lucid

• Rivian

• Volvo

• Hyundai/Kia

• Freightliner

• Peterbilt

• Nissan

They know us. They trust us. And they suggest us when quality’s on the line.

What Happens When You’re Not Using TQS?

Let’s be honest. When you’re in a reactive cycle—fielding NCTs, escalating internal issues, trying to keep the OEM happy—you don’t have time to vet new vendors or coordinate new badging.

That’s why Quality Engineers keep pointing to us:

Proven. Pre-cleared. Plant-ready.

If you’re not using TQS, you may be:

• Delaying your response time

• Risking further NCTs

• Losing trust with the OEM

Meanwhile, your competitors are gaining ground with a partner the OEM already respects.

You Don’t Need Another Liaison. You Need an Advantage.

TQS isn’t just a vendor—we’re an extension of your quality team, with plant access, OEM trust, and proven results.

If the OEMs are already recommending us, why aren’t you?
