Got the message from Jeff this afternoon. Im super annoyed cause I loved dealing with that guy. He was mad cool and always willing to help out. Sucks to lose an awesome place to buy parts.

Ummm yeah...is this some one who passed away or a buisness that went out of buisness?

Quite a while ago they were primarily a SR tuning shop. Then they kind of disbanded and turned into just a store front...no more installations. They still referred people to the guy who was doing a lot of the mechanical work in their shop originally who went his separate way. They were in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Just not enough money coming in. Sales were down, so they filed bankruptcy.

Damn! That really sucks.

It's always sad to hear things like this.

what do you expect? if you can't offer the product and the services w/o being only an online store... you're not going to make it in the aftermarket car market

Man, 80% of my car came from Jeff. Sucks. I used to call him up just to chat sometimes or get suggestions. Feel horrible but there is definitely more to come.

very true. no reason buyin from a store that cant install/help with the part especially with the deals you can find on the internet and all the free shipping/no tax out of state

Well, you do drive a Supra. Maybe theyre not a main road, so you've never seen them in town

Side note, is your name Jeremy? Im pretty sure I met you before at a shop in North Jersey I used to work at. You came in early in the morning to drop your car off and I went over a bunch of stuff with you. I think you wanted some bodywork done.
