In this episode of Shop Owner Solutions, host Doug Kaufman delves into the often-overlooked world of heavy-duty CV axles and the significant business opportunities they present, especially during harsh winter conditions. Miguel Cornejo, Product Manager at TrakMotive, a leading manufacturer of CV axles, drive shafts, and window regulators explains the challenges and solutions surrounding CV axle maintenance and repair.
