Get To Know One of the Founders of PartsEdge ft. Chuck Hartle

What better way to learn about success in the automotive industry than to learn from the founder of PartsEdge himself? Chuck Hartle has decades of experience with the automotive business. Through the 1990s, he has worked with some of the largest parts dealers in the country with his primary focus and expertise on inventory control. He draws inspiration from previous experts whom he had the opportunity to work with. In an industry where trends constantly change, Chuck found out that maintaining the quality of automotive parts is the key to running a successful business. Just like car dealerships encourage test drives, the only way for a shop to guarantee that their parts are fully functional is to test them out. As an entrepreneur who founded PartsEdge and launched his own consultancy business, Chuck encourages people in the industry to be more proactive instead of reactive. There may be challenges along the way, but there can easily be overcome if one keeps driving the path to success.
