So here it is,
Appears this season fell short of that which was projected and required to finance my shop as it stands.
Its with great disappointment, and despair that i make this announcement, as for a little while there we were really storming and doing well, all to have it all fall out from under us.
Effective February 27th 2010 First Bass Definitive Auto will be forced to downsize to a By Appointment /Invite only operation with very limited hours set for some nights, and weekends.
The past few months have been unforgiving even though my self and those around continually pushed forward and hold out hope to accumulate a “buffer” which would carry the business into the late summer when purchasing typically increases.
I will be moving the shops contents to a new much smaller and more affordable location where i can continue to satisfy customers as i have in the past, only now on a more limited schedule.
I will still have all the products and services available for any and all customers. The website is being redesigned, and will include more information regarding how to schedule an appointment for new services or warranty work on previous sales, installations.
Some of you I spoke with as recently as yesterday and its crazy cause this was barely and option at that point. Then the call came through which took the “option” away from me. Simple politics.
FAQ:
Q. “What About My Warranty?”
A. With or without Definitive Auto any products purchased are covered as they were the day they were purchased, according to the manufacturers themselves. You can call me, or the manufacturer directly anytime to resolve warranty concerns.
Q. “What if I Have trouble with an installation you provided?”
A. Call me, 412-353-0631, I will still be able to take care of those issues at the new facility as well as new installs/projects.
Q. “What if I want to purchase new products from you? ie. Subs, Tint, Remote Start?”
A. Call me, again, I will retain all the product lines Ive had in the past, I will be able to sell, install, service, and warranty all parts sold, Definitive Auto is NOT going out of Business, we're simply cutting back our store from a 65hrs/ store. to an appointment only set up
Please if anybody has questions, or concerns call me, or mail me. In not locking up and running off with all my millions, lol.
As for now the way i see it is
I have a ton of product to sell off, and 4 weeks to do it without having to load it up and move it.
