I looked it up. I found out Autobacs is only filing a Chapter 11. Which means they're re-strategizing their business plans and sold their shares or some crap. Also found out a few Autobacs are likely to close from this, mainly the one at Stanton and Covina. They're not 100% dead as a company yet

ROFLS!!!! yupp spend that gift card!!

yeah go check them out, might have sometime you need, i went thinking i didnt need anything...walked out with like 70 bucks worth of stuff...LOL

yeah they filed a chapter 11, but the owner of autobacs said that they dont want any autobacs in the states. so they are removing all autobacs and only keepin it in JDM land (japan) and what happaned to your reps ya2 user gd3

hopefully we can still meet up at autobacs for the tricity meet. think they are closing for good in about 2weeks time? i could be wrong.

i didn't know they were closing but sh*t, i'm not even surprised. all their crap was at such rip-off prices i don't know anybody who bought anything from them other than broadway mirrors and air fresheners. seems like everybody else just goes to browse, i know that's the only reason i ever go there haha.

For once the Covina location was busy. Like willitfit said, most of the good stuff's gone. I went crazy on air fresheners and car wash products. It's still worth a look though, especially with the turn out of cars rolling in too.
