While we often focus on engines and brakes, CV axles are crucial components that often get overlooked. Miguel highlights that the definition of "heavy-duty" has evolved. It's no longer just limited to semis and mining equipment. Today, many standard vehicles — ride-sharing cars, delivery vehicles and work trucks— experience conditions demanding a more robust axle design.

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.

The HD Extreme axle currently covers a significant portion of the automotive market and TrakMotive is constantly expanding its coverage. Cornejo encourages shops to check TrakMotive's website (trakmotive.com) for the latest updates. Actionable Tips for Shop Owners:
  • Educate Your Customers: Emphasize the cost of breakdowns versus the long-term value of a durable axle like the HDX.
  • Proactive Inspections: Encourage regular inspections during oil changes to identify potential issues early.
  • Leverage TrakMotive Resources: Utilize their website, email support, and technical line for additional information and support.
By focusing on preventative maintenance and utilizing high-quality parts like TrakMotive's HD Extreme axles, shop owners can position themselves for success. This is not simply about replacing parts—it's about providing customers with peace of mind and building a stronger, more resilient business. Contact TrakMotive today to learn more about the HDX axle and its potential for your shop.
