Kevin Robinson is the Founder of TRAC, a company that designs and manufactures tools that make changing wheels and tires easier at home and in the shop. In 2019 he won the SEMA New Product award for his Tire Rotation Assistance Cart. It is a tool that provides safety in the workplace, garage, and shop as it carries the weight of the wheel and tire from the vehicle so you don’t have to. From there his TRAC Tire Jack was invented, a simple tool for everyone who changes tires and wheels reducing the chance for injury, even while on the road. Kevin’s invention made the top 5 finalists in the 2021 SEMA LAUNCHPAD competition and he will be exhibiting at his first Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale in January. Since 1996 Kevin has operated Clean Cars of Denver specializing in Hail Repair and his paintless dent removal since 1996, helping customers with their automotive finish repair needs.
