Did Autofab close it’s doors?

Post by damon1272 »

As the title states, did John close his doors. Drive by every day for work and looks like the spot has been cleared out.

I think their lease was up at the end of April? They had to clear out fast - I did hear that.

That would be a shame if it's true. End of an era.

@steveg would probably know because he was close to John.

Yeah, I think it's true. John was trying to sell the business. I think he sold the fiberglass side of it. It's a bummer and it sucks to see that.

That sucks to hear Steve. Long time great shop out now again. Hopefully John will find something else.
