R&D / Vakamon is gone!

Just got back from helping R&D move out of their space. Because of some lease issues, R&D is calling it quits for now. Sad but true. Let's give Ryan, Davin, Jimi, and Scott our support for all the support they've given us Suby guys over the years!

I believe they'll be back...

A lot of us have come to depend on the awesome work done to our cars by Ryan, Davin, Jimi, and Scott...

From simple installs to major overhauls, they've done it all...They are the only ones that ever touched my car...

I hope you guys find another home quick...

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

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

Wow, guess my sticker is a collectors item now! Times are tuff, sucks to see a locally run shop have to move so suddenly like that.
Got any spare radiator hoses that got stuck in storage that need to be sold? =|
