Default WTF? Where is Status Auto?

This morning, I went to Status, and found it empty? WTF? Are they out of business? Did they move?

Yesterday, I found it odd when nobody answered their phone. I thought they may have taken an extended holiday of some kind.

In any case, their store was empty, and there was a leasing agent/realtor sign on the corner of the building.

I think Andy@performance is friends with the guy. Maybe he'll know. Hopefully they are still in business. From what I heard they had great prices.

I know they are moving but let me try to get an addy or phone number for them. Last I was informed they ARE NOT going out of business just relocating to a bigger facility in Torrance.

Yup, it's all gone. I was dumbfounded for several minutes, while sitting at light (making left off PCH). Also, I wanted to note that there is a leasing agent sign on the gate.

They moved, they have not gone out of business,
the building's owner wanted to sell the building, so out go the tenants.

they'll be setup and ready to go in their new shop soon..
