Default Super Autobacs in USA?

Does anyone have info about some Super Autobac stores in the US? In March's Superstreet, it talks about one opening in Garden Grove this spring. Anyone have more info???

Sorry bro, I haven't heard back from Japan yet. It's currently "Golden Week" or something like that so dunno if the place is even open...

As for Autobacs, can't say...I'll get some others into trouble as only a handful of people know...it's within driving distance for me...

Just got some new info on it...all I can say, it's in Southern California, within reasonable driving distance from all major LA/OC areas...as for what they're going to sell exactly, also can't say...don't bother asking me for more info cuz you ain't gonna get it out of me...

Last time I went to Japan, I was surprised to see Office Max or is it Office Depot.... Yeah, the Autobacs indeed look like a supermarket.... for cars!

Manaray, thanks for your time. Anyone that continues to bother manaray should be banned from club lexus for life!

Autobacs is located in Garden Grove. It is on Beach Blvd north of the 22 freeway. I believe it is opening this month and they are also hiring. I heard that a lot of carclubs will be cruising down there for the grand opening...
