Basis of Presentation Standard Motor Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of replacement parts for motor vehicles in the automotive aftermarket industry with an increasing focus on the original equipment service market. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all domestic and international companies in which we have more than a 50% equity ownership. Our investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for on the equity method, as we do not have a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventory, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability, pensions and other postretirement benefits, asbestos, environmental and litigation matters, the valuation of deferred tax assets and sales return allowances. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU”) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity which . effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. .

The new standard is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is January 1, 2018, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern which . effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, which for us is December 31, 2016, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which In June 2015, at the Emerging Issues Task Force meeting, the FASB clarified that ASU 2015-03 does not address debt issuance costs related to revolving credit debt arrangements. In connection therewith, at the June 2015 meeting, the SEC staff announced that it would not object to the presentation of issuance costs related to revolving debt arrangements as an asset that is amortized over the term of the arrangement. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,

Deferred financing costs are related to our revolving credit facility. Deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2015 are being amortized in the amounts of $0.2 million for the remainder of 2015, $0.7 million in 2016, $0.7 million in 2017, and $0.1 million in 2018. Revolving Credit Facility We entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for a secured revolving credit facility. The restated credit agreement (as amended) provides for a line of credit of up to $250 million (inclusive of the Canadian revolving credit facility described below) and expires in March 2018. Direct borrowings under the restated credit agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin (as defined), or floating at the index rate plus the applicable margin, at our option. The interest rate may vary depending upon our borrowing availability. The restated credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets. Borrowings under the restated credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the restated credit agreement, there was an additional $168 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at September 30 December At September 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on our restated credit agreement was 2.4%, which consisted of $16 million in direct borrowings at 1.7% and an index loan of $8.5 million at 3.8%. At December At any time that our average borrowing availability is less than $25 million, the terms of our restated credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain specified levels of fixed charge coverage at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling twelve months). As of September 30, Canadian Revolving Credit Facility Our Canadian Credit Agreement (as amended) with GE Canada Finance Holding Company, for itself and as agent for the lenders, provides for a $10 million revolving credit facility that expires in March 2018. The Canadian $10 million line of credit is part of the $250 million available for borrowing under our restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation. The Canadian Credit Agreement is guaranteed and secured by us and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Direct borrowings under the amended credit agreement bear interest at the same rate as our restated credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation. As of September 30, 2015, we have no outstanding borrowings under the Canadian Credit Agreement.

Performance-based shares are subject to a three-year measuring period and the achievement of performance targets and, depending upon the achievement of such performance targets, they may become vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Each period we evaluate the probability of achieving the applicable targets, and we adjust our accrual accordingly. Restricted shares granted to employees become fully vested upon the third anniversary of the date of grant; and for selected key executives, certain additional restricted share grants vest 25% upon the attainment of age 60, 25% upon the attainment of age 63 and become fully vested upon the attainment of age 65. Restricted shares granted to directors become fully vested upon the first anniversary of the date of grant. Forfeitures on restricted stock grants are estimated at 5% for employees and 0% for executives and directors, respectively, based on our evaluation of historical and expected future turnover. Our restricted and performance-based share activity was as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Balance at December 31, 2014 749,018 $ 24.62 Granted 7,000 35.07 Vested (48,918 ) 33.07 Forfeited (4,250 ) 25.70 Balance at September 30, 2015 702,850 $ 24.13 We recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares and performance-based shares of $3.6 million ($2.3 million, net of tax) and $2.5 million ($1.6 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The unamortized compensation expense related to our restricted and performance-based shares was $8.2 million at September 30, 2015, and is expected to be recognized as they vest over a weighted average period of 4.5 years and 0.6 years for employees and directors, respectively.

Based on current estimates, we believe we will be required to make approximately $0.9 million in contributions for 2015. We maintain a defined contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for key employees. Under the plan, these employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and, in addition, we may at our discretion make contributions to the plan on behalf of the employees. In March 2015, we made company contributions of $0.5 million related to calendar year 2014. We also maintain a defined benefit unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP, as amended, is a defined benefit plan pursuant to which we will pay supplemental pension benefits to certain key employees upon the attainment of a contractual participant’s payment date based upon the employees’ years of service and compensation. In October 2015, the sole remaining participant in the unfunded SERP reached his applicable payment date. In connection therewith, in October 2015, we recorded a settlement loss of $1.5 million and made the corresponding distribution of $7.6 million. We use a January 1 measurement date for this plan. Benefit obligations as of the end of each year reflect assumptions in effect as of this date. We also have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust for employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. In connection therewith, we maintain an employee benefits trust to which we contribute shares of treasury stock. We are authorized to instruct the trustees to distribute such shares toward the satisfaction of our future obligations under the plan. The shares held in trust are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share until they are committed to be released. The trustees will vote the shares in accordance with their fiduciary duties. During 2015, we contributed to the trust an additional 58,000 shares from our treasury and released 58,200 shares from the trust leaving 200 shares remaining in the trust as of September 30, 2015.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 11. Fair Value Measurements We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of “observable inputs” and minimize the use of “unobservable inputs.” The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts, estimated fair values, and classification under the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Fair Value Hierarchy Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents LEVEL 1 $ 13,359 $ 13,359 $ 13,728 $ 13,728 Deferred compensation LEVEL 1 10,435 10,435 9,811 9,811 Short term borrowings LEVEL 1 24,518 24,518 56,733 56,733 Long-term debt LEVEL 1 65 65 83 83 For fair value purposes the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those investments. The fair value of the underlying assets held by the deferred compensation plan are based on the quoted market prices of the funds in registered investment companies. The carrying value of our revolving credit facilities, classified as short term borrowings, equals fair market value because the interest rate reflects current market rates.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies Asbestos In 1986, we acquired a brake business, which we subsequently sold in March 1998 and which is accounted for as a discontinued operation. When we originally acquired this brake business, we assumed future liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured by the seller of the acquired brake business. In accordance with the related purchase agreement, we agreed to assume the liabilities for all new claims filed on or after September 2001. Our ultimate exposure will depend upon the number of claims filed against us on or after September 2001 and the amounts paid for indemnity and defense thereof. At September 30, 2015, approximately 2,190 cases were outstanding for which we may be responsible for any related liabilities. Since inception in September 2001 through September 30, 2015, the amounts paid for settled claims are approximately $18.6 million. In evaluating our potential asbestos-related liability, we have considered various factors including, among other things, an actuarial study of the asbestos related liabilities performed by an independent actuarial firm, our settlement amounts and whether there are any co-defendants, the jurisdiction in which lawsuits are filed, and the status and results of settlement discussions. As is our accounting policy, we consider the advice of actuarial consultants with experience in assessing asbestos-related liabilities to estimate our potential claim liability. The methodology used to project asbestos-related liabilities and costs in our actuarial study considered: (1) historical data available from publicly available studies; (2) an analysis of our recent claims history to estimate likely filing rates into the future; (3) an analysis of our currently pending claims; and (4) an analysis of our settlements to date in order to develop average settlement values. The most recent actuarial study was performed as of August 31, 2015. The updated study has estimated an undiscounted liability for settlement payments, excluding legal costs and any potential recovery from insurance carriers, ranging from $33.3 million to $51.1 million for the period through 2058. The change from the prior year study was a $2.8 million decrease for the low end of the range and a $4.3 million decrease for the high end of the range. The decrease in the estimated undiscounted liability from the prior year study at both the low end and high end of the range reflects our actual experience over the prior twelve months, our historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study and all other available information considered by us, we have concluded that no amount within the range of settlement payments was more likely than any other and, therefore, in assessing our asbestos liability we compare the low end of the range to our recorded liability to determine if an adjustment is required. Based upon the results of the August 31, 2015 actuarial study, a favorable adjustment to the asbestos liability was not recorded in our consolidated financial statements as the difference between our recorded liability and the liability in the actuarial report at the low end of the range was not material. Legal costs, which are expensed as incurred and reported in loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations, are estimated, according to the updated study, to range from $40 million to $75.5 million for the period through 2058. We plan to perform an annual actuarial evaluation during the third quarter of each year for the foreseeable future. Given the uncertainties associated with projecting such matters into the future and other factors outside our control, we can give no assurance that additional provisions will not be required. We will continue to monitor the circumstances surrounding these potential liabilities in determining whether additional provisions may be necessary. At the present time, however, we do not believe that any additional provisions would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial position. Litigation Charge During the second quarter of 2014, we reached a settlement in a legal proceeding with a third party for $10.6 million. The legal proceeding resulted from the default of a loan by a former supplier and its related businesses and our subsequent purchases of product from a third party that was alleged to be a controlled company of the original supplier. Since the inception of the legal proceeding against us, we vigorously opposed all such allegations and believed that we had meritorious defenses. Prior to reaching the settlement, we considered that the incurrence of a loss contingency related to the lawsuit was not reasonably possible. Accordingly, we did not record any provisions in our financial statements since our potential liability was not considered probable and reasonably estimable. During the second quarter of 2014, at the time of the settlement, we recorded the settlement amount of $10.6 million. The settlement agreement was approved by the court in August 2014 and payment of the settlement amount was made in September 2014. The settlement amount was funded from cash on hand and available credit under our revolving credit facility. Other Litigation We are currently involved in various other legal claims and legal proceedings (some of which may involve substantial amounts), including claims related to commercial disputes, product liability, employment, and environmental. Although these legal claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, based on our understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our . We may at any time determine that settling any of these matters is in our best interests, which settlement may include substantial payments. Warranties We generally warrant our products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time of the product depending on the nature of the product. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, we have accrued $25.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, for estimated product warranty claims included in accrued customer returns. The accrued product warranty costs are based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims. The following table provides the changes in our product warranties (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Balance, beginning of period $ 25,148 $ 22,801 $ 19,328 $ 18,041 Liabilities accrued for current year sales 25,626 21,490 72,613 63,106 Settlements of warranty claims (24,919 ) (22,457 ) (66,086 ) (59,313 ) Balance, end of period $ 25,855 $ 21,834 $ 25,855 $ 21,834

Subsequent Event

Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Note 15. Subsequent Event In October 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a line of credit of up to $250 million (with an additional $50 million accordion feature) and a maturity date in October 2020. The new credit agreement replaces our prior credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent, and the lenders therein. Upon entering into the new agreement, we wrote-off $0.8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the old agreement. Direct borrowings under the new credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our borrowing availability, or floating at the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% based on our borrowing availability, at our option. In connection with the new agreement, we incurred and capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.8 million, which will be amortized over the term of the agreement. Borrowings under the new credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. At any time that our borrowing availability is less than the greater of either (a) $25 million, or 10% of the commitments if fixed assets are not included in the borrowing base, or (b) $31.25 million, or 12.5% of the commitments if fixed assets are included in the borrowing base, the terms of the credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling four quarters). Availability under the credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory, eligible equipment and eligible fixed assets. The credit agreement permits us to pay cash dividends of $20 million and make stock repurchases of $20 million in any fiscal year subject to a minimum availability of $25 million. Provided specific conditions are met, the credit agreement also permits acquisitions, permissible debt financing, capital expenditures, and cash dividend payments and stock repurchases of greater than $20 million.
