There’s a compelling story behind every successful aftermarket business. However, the journey that led Kahgo Truck Parts to become a premier Los Angeles truck parts distributor and recently join the Power Heavy Duty network was exceptionally challenging.

While the full-line distributor’s U.S. presence began in 2014, its history in heavy-duty truck parts runs much longer. Co-owned by brothers Gabriel and George Laterovian, Kahgo Truck Parts is a continuation of the truck-parts retail business started by their father decades ago in Syria.
