“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.”

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.

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.
