I talk to Ryan a few weeks ago when he swapped my tires and they didn't seem like they were going anywhere. if anything they trimmed some fat off of the shop and were also in the process of renovating.

Yep...in addition to that, they are going to focus on Subarus and general automotive repairs in the near future. They aren't going anywhere. It's just Ryan and Davin...

Maybe they are just dropping the naming rights or whatever with Tarzan?

I dunno how that all worked out...just remember they changed names from whatever they were before when they sold air fresheners at Ala Moana.

qouted from a friend of the shop


Farid is up in New Zealand w the older son and has nothing to do with FH (or Vakamon, for that matter)--i believe Stephen is running it (and "it" means FH, not Vakamon). Ryan and Davin are running the show.

Vakamon has changed its name to Vakamon Motorsports and is in the process of putting up new signage--they are still in same place and not planning to move.
