The phrase "You
can't be good at ANYTHING if you try to be good at
EVERYTHING" is the premise of our boutique-style business,
specializing in Grands and Cherokees, and focusing on ONLY
those models. I have owned four Cherokees and two
Grand Cherokees from 1992 to present day, and have
wrenched on ALL of them and done all my OWN work and
modifications on them since Day 1. So, to say that
we have a bit of experience in successfully modifying
Cherokees and Grands would be a bit of an understatement,
lol. I began manufacturing
custom Grand Cherokee parts in early 2000 because there
wasn't a lot of options for Grand Cherokee owners like me who
wanted heavy-duty offroad equipment. Most of our
products are items that I made for *MY OWN* Jeep, tested on
some of the most difficult trails in the country, and have
reproduced for my customers so that they can benefit from
the time that I invested into the research and design of
the products I developed for my own Jeep. We also have
many
items that you just can't find anywhere else because no
one else makes one. Whatever your level of interest
and expertise in offroading, I think you'll find
something interesting in the menu to the left. (I
also take
requests)
.
Another thing
you'll notice about us is that you won't see ANY
low-quality parts available on the website. I
believe in the application of good quality parts the
first time around, even if it requires you to save up
for another few months to get GOOD stuff. I will
always lead you toward the best "Bang For Your Buck" (BFYB),
which, in many cases, requires me to take extra time with
you to edu-ma-cate you on why you might NOT want to buy a
particular product for your Jeep because I may know of (or
manufacture) a better one for the same price, or can get
you a FAR better quality product for only a few bucks
more. Our website is NOT, I repeat NOT, for
price-sensitive customers who have very little budget to
work with. eBay is a great place to pick up
cheap-crap from any number of home-based businesses who
put on a big front to sell you their Jeep products.
Homey don't play that! We are a full-on business,
licenses and everything, and have 3,000+ square feet of
warehouse and office space in Phoenix, AZ, and accept
walk-in customers (by appointment) daily. Why is
this important? Well, let's just say you buy
something for your Jeep off of eBay or some other
home-based website that LOOKS like a real business, and
it's faulty, crappy, sucks, makes your Jeep ride like
hell...whatever...and you want to return it. Are you
going to be able to get a refund from a guy who works out
of his house and has no need to rely upon return customers
because he attracts new customers off of eBay every day?
Think twice, and if they balk when you ask them for their
physical address or a photo of their place of business,
now you know why. They don't WANT you to know where
they are.
We rely HEAVILY
upon return customers, and the only way they return is if
they are happy when they leave. So...I take
EXCELLENT care of my customers the first time, the second
time, and so on, to ASSURE that they keep coming back.
Working at the Ritz-Carlton for 7 years taught more than
most people in this industry know about customer service
and brand loyalty. Loyalty breeds loyalty. If
I'm loyal to my customers and take consistently excellent
care of them, I know that there is a VERY good chance that
they will be loyal to me, even if they find that my prices
are a shade higher than some of the leading retailers,
which is expected because they do much more business than
we do. However, I am more than happy to attempt to
price-match on equal products (even with the monsters in
the industry) for my loyal returning customers. In
many cases, I am either breaking even or losing money by
doing so. It's THAT competitive in our industry.
Hell...I'm jumping up and down if I can make 20% margin on
some of this stuff. Ask WalMart or Sears how much
margin they make...I think it's around 60%. In OUR
industry, the difference between the manufacturer's
buy-price and the "typical" price you find on the internet
is typically only 20% (and the credit card processing
company takes 3% of the total sale), which is one reason
why you don't see an offroad shop on every block like you
do with Walgreens. Again, I am MORE than happy to
keep our loyal customers happy by price-matching...and
giving them absolutely no reason to purchase anything
anywhere else. See how hard I'm ALREADY working to
gain your business? That's the attitude we have
here...to make sure you walk away with a smile on their
face and a feeling that I've given you a fair price on a
great product.
KevinsOffroad.com was founded on the principal of
offering high-quality aftermarket parts while striving to
provide the best customer service in the industry. Customer
service and satisfaction is
essential to a positive buying experience, wouldn't
you agree? Don't
forget...I'm a consumer too! I stand behind the
quality of my work 100% and I have loads of
happy
customers out there who have been treated with
the utmost respect, which is something that you don't find
a lot of in this industry. I also like to make it
known that I spent less than $800 in advertising in my
FIRST THREE YEARS
of business because we were taking great care of our
customers, and they were recommending us to their friends.
Word of mouth is much more
meaningful than an ad in the back of some magazine, anyway (any schmoe can pay for ad space...it doesn't mean they have a
good product OR decent customer service). So, that
said, the
game-plan is to keep overhead low, and keep right on producing
top-quality products at a great price...
Are you ready to become a
satisfied customer?
Thank you
for choosing KevinsOffroad.com!

Kevin, just
wanted to drop a reply, and tell you that this
is the first time, out of 3 Jeep builds and
tons of online ordering, that I have received
such a honest "Thank You" from a vendor. You
will receive all my Grand business!
Thanks, Shery & Dennis Johnson, Apache
