Our Story

In 1989, Ed Rietman and Jeff Kolean started the business K&R. Ed and Jeff started out buying one wrecked truck at a time to rebuild and resell. In 1991, they bought a building on the corner of Interchange Drive and M40 in Holland, MI, and Ed ultimately bought out the business in 1994.
Eventually, Ed went on to expand K&R, including the purchase of a local wrecker service, a fully automated truck wash and detail shop and a brand-new facility in Holland. These acquisitions allowed K&R to begin offering newly expanded services that included rebuilds, servicing, body work, painting, alignments, vehicle sales, and selling new & used heavy-duty truck parts.
It didn’t stop there. Ed acquired an International Truck dealership in May 2012, allowing K&R to do business in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Muskegon as West Michigan International. In October 2018, K&R also acquired West Michigan Mobile Mechanic and the International dealership in Lansing, which now operates as West Michigan International.
It’s been a wild ride over the last 30+ years, and we’re grateful to be blessed with so many opportunities.
