Hello from Ravelco Midwest

RavelcoMidwest · Mar 29, 2022

Hello from Ravelco Midwest! It has been suggested by several TRX owners that we enter the forums and let them know we are here. My family is happy to announce that we have brought the famous Ravelco device to the states of Kansas and Missouri. We are vehicle enthusiasts and have also seen the unfortunate side of being a victim of theft just over a year ago. We have strived to try and do our best to keep others from being victims of the same. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

We do have a web presence at ravelcomidwest.com

Thank you for the add and let us know if we can be of assistance.

Are you in Chicago? I tried calling the other day but didn’t leave a message. I live in Michigan but would like to have this installed once I get my truck. How do I go about scheduling that?

This is great news. Being in Kansas we are not easily accessed to all the cool things everyone gets to mod there things with. So jealous of everyone that has access to the ppf and vinyl that are within a few hours travel of them.
Looking forward in the future contacting you for install on TRX and Super Stock of the Ravelco system.

Definitely interested but I’m in Des Moines, Iowa. Do you travel?

We are in the Kansas City area. From my understanding, the distributor in the Chicago area closed down. I'm not 100% sure why. You can contact ravelco.com to look at further options at getting the device unless you were able to travel into our territory of Missouri.

We received special permisson to reach out to Grainger Dealerships in the Des Moines area and Edwards in the Council Bluffs area to try and bring installation capabilities to those dealerships because we know the volume of TRX trucks that are being sold there. However, neither dealership has shown any interest in having a conversation. Unfortunately, the only way we can enter Iowa is if we were to be working out a deal to establish a dealer in the state. The best option we have now is to have TRX owners request they bring the service to those places.

With that being said, we unfortunately can not travel into Iowa to install but could install in Missouri. You can contact us at info@ravelcomidwest.com to further discuss options to meet your needs.

Awesome! We look forward to that day! I understand the difficulty of things being behind in availability in this wonderful part of the country.

I can confirm this. I initially reached out to these guys and informed them about Grainger but they got nothing back, which really sucks on the dealerships part in my opinion. How nice would it be to pick it up already installed??

This would be nice. I will follow up with grainger. Maybe if enough of us show interest, they will act.

Yes - web site no longer active, no response from text or e-mail, and the phone number is out of service.
According to Ravelco.com, the closest installer to Michigan is . . . Pennsylvania, and eastern Pennsylvania at that.
Unless someone else has any other information?

That would be a win win if you can save thousands from them and get the install done on hundreds of orders going to the dealership still under MSRP from other dealers

I bet you if you decide to do a full 50 states tour, you can schedule a head of time probably 100 cars each state and bank some money. I'd pay extra 150 just to have you come over here. that's 15000 bucks extra from each state. you'll drive home a year later with additional 750,000 dollars in your pocket just by driving around the state installing it! you can mail the package to each client ahead of time so you just travel to install! BAM!

@RavelcoMidwest installed Ravelco on my 2022 TRX and my son's 2022 Dodge Challenger Scatpack Widebody. They did an awesome job!

Here are some pictures.

As a follow up, the Chicago area distributor has retired. I know its not the most convenient thing but we do have a dealer established in the St. Louis, MO area to try and better service those on our eastern border. The dealer is AEP (Automotive Enhancement and Performance). Depending on what part of Michigan you are traveling from, it should make it slightly closer.
