Nothing flops it.

Explanation:
I'm having trouble understanding the "drunter" part, but maybe it's a pun.

Oh well. I just can't match the high quality with da geht nichts drunter. Unless there's somewhere a "und drüber" we missed?

nothing falls through the cracks

Explanation:
It seems to me what they're saying here is that their maintenance standards are so high that they catch every little problem or potential problem (before it even has a chance to become a big problem). IOW, they're so thorough that nothing is overlooked (or falls through the cracks).

Hope this'll help...
