Default What happened to Robocar?

When I went to Robocar at Valley to look at TM plugs they are closed all day long! Did they went out of business or something?

Robocar is a local rice shop with bad service that happened to carry some good stuff like TM plugs, Nakamichi amps, etc. Too bad they went south.

Robocar used to sell alot of stuff overpriced. My bro went there before, said they have the worst customer service. Prices change around when u call and when u actually go there, etc. etc. I can care less if it closes another rice shop down = less ricers on streets.

but for those of u who buy parts from them, sorry for the loss. Now find another place that probably sells for 20% less

Default Not really closed

Word is they didnt really close, they just went completely wholesale with their own private brand name Velox. As in the Velox wheels and gauges and other accessories that you see all over the magazines. So basically they just put the retail operation on hold since it wasnt doing all that well anyway.
