“The more things change the more they stay

the same.”

So says the old French saying coined

by Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, a noted journalist of

“bitter wit.” Some changes are easier to swallow than

others. If you haven’t yet heard Wheeler’s was re-

cently acquired by LKQ Keystone.

“Wheeler’s Autobody Supply/Express Parts has been ac-

quired by the LKQ/Keystone Corporation. LKQ/Keystone

are aggressively seeking successful businesses, and they

acquired Wheelers for their entire business including after-

market, body shop supplies/paint, and our delivery system.

We are very thank full for all the years of support and to

continue servicing you in the same manner we are today.”

Jo Johnson 4/21/2015

We want to thank our old friend Wheeler’s Auto Body

Supply for the years of service and support IAR and

to members in both aftermarket parts and delivery

services. We wish the staff at Wheeler’s the best of

luck and hope to continue to see many of the folks in

the future. We are happy to see that

LKQ Keystone

Wheelers

is registered for a booth at the outing and

look forward to meeting new staff too!

The change was met with expectation of loss of parts

shipping so the IAR Board of Directors and the asso-

ciation staff immediately set about making contact

with other transportation professionals to meet the

need.

Express Parts will not exist in the near future – with the

merge of operation within the LKQ/Keystone delivery sys-

tem there are a lot of changes with routes that just won’t

work in your set up or ours. So as of 6/1/15 Express Parts

will not be in operation any longer.

Jo Johnson 5/4/2015

A vendor list was emailed to members and is availa-

ble upon request. The search was a huge success

especially with the survey data that supported the

great amount of business available to shippers able

to meet our needs. You can meet the new transporta-

tion service providers at the Summer Outing Trade

Show and during training by the SAV Transportation.

Below is an introduction to

Action Express

and

ASAP Express

who have already stepped up to fill

the gap.
