Beck/Arnley Customer Spotlight: IPW

IPW was founded in 1973 as Parts Import, specializing in British and Japanese cars and trucks. For those old enough to remember, the gas-crunched 70's were a time when Muscle Cars were on the decline and import cars began to make huge in-roads into both American markets and mind-sets. Datsun (now Nissan), Toyota and Honda along with MG, Triumph, Fiat and Alfa were all appearing with greater frequency. Even Saabs (while not as common) could be spotted once in awhile!
Auto parts stores and warehouses were plentiful, but had a decided focus on Chevys, Fords and Chryslers; IPW easily found a reputation for having everything for the import.
37 years later, the market has changed time and time again. Hondas are as common as Chevys; SUV's now rule the road. IPW has stayed with the market all along, recognizing the coming changes before they occur and adjusting its inventories accordingly. IPW now carries a huge selection of replacement parts for domestic vehicles and continues to provide excellent import coverage... from the smallest KIA to the largest GMC truck. IPW's coverage is second to none for the replacement parts that customers demand.
Over 275,000 part numbers are on-hand at any given moment. IPW's reputation for having unusual or hard to find parts is unmatched in the Rocky Mountain Region.
IPW has been a Beck/Arnley supplier for over 10 years. This makes our relationship more than just a transactional one. David Heye, who oversees the Northwest region of sales, has been working with them for over 6 years. "IPW is the premier independent supplier of Import Parts to the Rocky Mountain region. They are the supplier installers go to for their import parts," he states. "Carol, Jim, and all the people at IPW have been great to work with and are outstanding representatives for our Beck/Arnley Genuine Foreign Nameplate Parts."
