that place is going under. i give it 3 months, i doubt many ppl here (if any) go there. but my Brother worked there untill last week. in the last 2-3 months (maybe more) they have been doing nothing but bouncing checks w/ every company they get things from.... they bounces a $100 check here, the companies are going Cash only. they let my brother go and didn't pay him his last paycheck (that w/ 3 other employees bounced). @ least 12 employees have either left bc they see the writing on the wall or like my brother case they let the best ppl go to save on payroll.

i know their being kicked out of their install bay on Bethal, i'm not sure whats going on w/ their main sales shop on bethal or their westerville shop...i will be shocked of they last more than 3 months

so if anyone has something on order/ lay-a-way or anything to do w/ that place i would sugest to try to get your cash back or get the items before it's too late

didn't they go under new management 2 years ago?

in your brother's case, i say file for unemployment, but blodd from a stone and all. not sure how that works, if the gov't can take directly from the company for unemployment claims. of course they'll dispute.

I'm surprised they didn't close shop permanantly 4 or 5 years ago.

The Internet killed their parts selling ability.

People learning how to work on their own cars killed off a section of their installation profits (and of course, the sharing of knowledge through the Internet on how to do things to cars)

And shops like Slowmotion put the nails in Passen's coffin.

they did go under new management...and he's a f-en idiot....my brother and i told him when he got the shop NOT to do dealship work...but he decided to bc he saw $$$$ and sales...and thats what's been realy hurting him..and looks like what gonna kill the shop... nothing like buying equipment, selling to to a dealer, then buying more equipment to replace what you sold...and have the dealership pay you 3+ months down the road. only way for that to work is if your realy busy (which they are not) and/or have another part of the compant that can takle up that slack... some other funny things is the owner selling wrong equipment for a car and some newbe installer puitting it on and my brother told me about this 1 timming belt that wasn't even close to matching it was either hanging over to far or not enough
