VAICO Jack Pad

VAICO Jack Pads: Precision-Fit Protection for European Vehicles

When it comes to safely lifting a vehicle, the jack pad is one of the most overlooked yet critical components in the process. A worn, cracked, or improperly fitting jack pad can allow a floor jack or lift to slip, risking damage to pinch welds, rocker panels, and the vehicle's underbody structure. VAICO addresses this with a focused lineup of jack pads engineered specifically for the tight tolerances demanded by European vehicle platforms.

OEM-Referenced Fitment Across Popular European Platforms

VAICO's jack pad range is built around direct OEM cross-referencing. Products like the V30-2645, V30-2653, V30-2277, and V30-2279 are each tied to specific Mercedes-Benz OE part numbers, ensuring that the geometry, diameter, and seating profile match the factory-designated jacking points precisely. The brand also covers BMW and MINI applications — such as the V20-1944 and V20-1949 — which reference OE number 51717237195 used across a wide range of models. Some VAICO jack pads are also offered as lift point pad sets (such as the V30-4172), supplying front and rear positions together for a complete service solution.

The VAICO Q+ Quality Standard

VAICO is a German automotive parts brand owned by VIEROL AG, established in 1999. VAICO caters to a broad range of automobile manufacturers, primarily focusing on high-quality aftermarket and OEM-level solutions for German brands. For jack pads specifically, this philosophy translates into parts that are graded OEM or OE, produced to match the factory specification in both material composition and dimensional accuracy.

VAICO maintains strict quality control processes, and parts that meet or exceed their standards are marked with the Q+ stamp of approval, indicating they match or surpass OEM specifications for that component. The "Q+ Made in Germany" mark indicates that the item was produced in Germany and certified according to the most stringent standards. For something as safety-adjacent as a jacking point pad, this level of verification matters.

What to Expect from VAICO Jack Pads

Jack pads are mounted to a vehicle's body to provide a protective cushion when the vehicle is lifted by a jack. VAICO's versions are dimensioned to seat firmly within the factory jacking point recesses, preventing lateral movement under load. The OEM cross-reference approach means each part number targets a specific model range — for example, the V30-2653 covers a broad swath of Mercedes-Benz C-Class generations from 2001 through the mid-2010s. This vehicle-specific engineering reduces the guesswork that comes with universal rubber pads and helps ensure that both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians are using the right part for the job.

With over 28,000 high-quality spare parts and more than 2,700,000 vehicle links, VAICO offers solutions that reach across virtually every common European application. Whether you are performing a routine oil service, brake job, or suspension work, having a properly fitting VAICO jack pad in the lift kit is a simple safeguard that protects your vehicle's bodywork lift after lift.
