Quality and performance are what matters to the team at Wheel Kraft NW.  Providing their clients with the best wheel repair service is what they do.  If they can not provide a wheel repair solution, they outsource to someone who can!
They straighten wheels, refinish wheels, and customize wheels.  They save their customers time and money from the cost of replacement and by being a mobile service.  Most importantly they gain the clients trust by putting them first.  Customer loyalty is something a company can not buy.

<h2>A Model B2B Model</h2>
<p>WheelkraftNW partners with auto dealerships, auto detail shops, and auto repair companies to provide customers with wheel repair services they need through transparent (to the client) outsourcing. &#8220;Krafting&#8221; these Business to Business (B2B) partnerships has been key to their current expansion and growth.</p>
<p>Teaming up with other businesses in similar industries to provide customers with what they need is a great way to add an additional revenue stream.  You can never go wrong by going the extra mile for your customers, including making a referral to another service provider.  By connecting clients to reputable businesses you can build trust and loyalty with your clients.  It also allows you to start a referral trend with several partner companies, providing each other with solid references and leads.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">QuadVan is a Portland based automotive conversion business that converts standard 2 wheel drive Ford vans into 4 wheel drive vehicles (4&#215;4s). Four wheel drive vehicles, like the ones created by QuadVan, are utility vehicles good for year round, all terrain performance. Spending one winter in the Pacific Northwest should show you just how much more functional a 4&#215;4 vehicle can be.</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><strong>QuadVan implements 4&#215;4 Conversion Systems to create the following types of vehicles:</strong></h3>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">4&#215;4 Vans</li>

<li class="MsoNormal">4&#215;4 Campers</li>

<p class="MsoNormal">QuadVan conversions are recognized for being the highest quality and best engineered system available in the market. Through the QuadVan conversion process, vehicles are given a tighter turning radius, improved suspension, better braking, and greater ground clearance. The original designer of the QuadVan 4wd system, John McKee, has been installing conversion systems for over ten years. The experience and expertise of Quadvan’s technical staff is just one more reason to trust them for your next 4&#215;4 conversion system.</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Unparalleled 4&#215;4 Van Serviceability</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">QuadVans are also easily serviceable because they use 100% Factory Ford Certified components &#8211; and they are the only in the industry that can make that claim. This makes it easy to find replacement parts no matter where you’re located. Everything you might need is available at your local Ford Dealership.</p>
