    Post Option Import Closing...

    Saw this on a WSC thread.. apparently they are closing at the end of this week

    It's sad news because they were awesome to deal with. I've only gone there a few times but I was planning on going there for all future servicing.

    Anyone know more about this?

    Really? That's too bad.

    Any reason why?

    I was just in there to introduce myself to Jim and he made no mention of it lol I said I was looking forward to using him as my new NSX mechanic etc. etc. lol

    Really?

    That sucks if it's true...... they were awesome to deal with and were able to solve virtually any problem/issue I ever threw at them.

    They could do all the OEM stuff cheaper then Honda and they also were able to help with any aftermarket stuff too.

    They're permanently closing down or moving locations?

    I've never dealt with them but I have heard nothing but good things about them. Was going to start bringing my car to them for servicing and maintenance once my warranty was up.

    It's a shame they couldn't stay open. They were extremely honest and trustworthy - both with the workmanship and the invoice. I gave them as much business as I could and gave them many referrals. In the end it seems that it wasn't enough. Like the rest of you guys I'm not sure now where I will go to get my NSX worked on.

    I thought they were moving? Sucks if they are moving. I gave them a ton of business and many referrals, I was never disappointed. Howard and Jim are class acts. Hope the news is false and they are just moving!

    Well, that sucks. Where am I going to go now? Any similar shops with the same type of stand up people and great prices?

    Wow, this is extremely disappointing and surprising!

    Jim and Howard were the only people I trusted to work on my STI. Best shop in the city hands down, and I referred many friends to them because of this.

    Good luck Jim and Howard on any future endeavors.

    Now the shop hunt begins... again

    I'm friends with one of them, and I don't want to give any personal details but one of the partners wants out and the other one has a very busy life right now and is already spending more time at the shop than he'd like, so he's decided he won't go ahead alone.

    Too bad, as I could totally trust those guys to be honest. I too am at a total loss of where to go now.
