It's hard to find honest, dependable techs like these guys.

Thanks for all that you have done for the Suby community.

Wow, I drove by there because I work around the area, and I saw them moving things out, but I thought maybe they were just cleaning shop or moving to a new location.
I am pretty much in shock - GL to you guys with your next endeavor.

That's sad to hear. I hope you guys open up a new shop soon!

I have a feeling it was meant so that Bishop Estates / Kam is going to put up some residential buildings there since leasing of land in that general vicinity is expensive.

THis F...in blows!! I brought my car there once to get it serviced when Junior was still there, and loved the service provided! But like the old cliche goes, " When one door close's, another one open's!!" I guess no sponsorships this year for the annual HIIC AUW charity event!! j/k R&D & J!! Anything you guys need from HIIC to help with??
