Competitive Crankshafts

What Competitive Crankshafts does

Competitive Crankshafts is a privately-held, single-location specialty service business based in Garden City, Idaho, that rebuilds 2-stroke crankshafts for the powersports industry. The company disassembles, inspects, and replaces worn connecting rods, bearings, and seals; welds where required; then presses, trues to tight runout tolerances, and dynamically balances each crankshaft before return. All work is performed at the company's Garden City facility, with service shipped nationwide through a direct mail-in model in which customers send crankshafts or complete bottom ends to the shop and receive rebuilt assemblies ready to install.

The product offering spans three core verticals: personal watercraft (Kawasaki, Yamaha, Sea-Doo, Polaris), snowmobiles (Ski-Doo, Polaris, Yamaha), and motorcycles/ATVs (Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM), plus optional 4-stroke single-cylinder rebuilds. Add-on services include welded web reinforcement for high-output watercraft applications and a dedicated counterbalance service for Sea-Doo 785 and 951 engines. Pricing is flat-rate per make and model, ranging from $200 for a single-cylinder motorcycle/ATV rebuild to $1,025 for a Kawasaki 1200 PWC rebuild with welded webs.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer, one-time-transaction revenue model with no dealer, retail, or third-party channel. Customers contact the company by phone or email for a quote, ship their core to Idaho, and receive a rebuilt crankshaft ready to install. Marketing is limited to the company website and organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), with no formal sales team, channel partner program, or institutional investment. The company has 1-10 employees, has not raised outside capital, and does not disclose revenue.
