The WORKS
Wheel Order Repair Knowledge System
Our Wheel Order Repair Knowledge System (WORKS) is a proprietary quality management process based on ISO 9001 principles to insure that our customers receive the highest quality “like new” wheels for each remanufacturing repair order. Every wheel is processed in a step by step process according to documented procedures for painted, polished and machined wheels and no wheel is released to our customers without a final inspection and approval from our quality control team. Our quality control team reports directly to our President while all other departments report to our VP of Operations.
