Have they relocated yet? They may have shut up to move, but just up the road from where they are/were.

If you drive past the old shop location there is a sign saying that they have relocated up the road, on the left.
So much money to spend, So little income.

Just what I've heard from my mates but it wasn't Rod choice to close as they went under. It's a shame as they were the only good close "hard core" 4WD joint in the northen suberbs, they will be missed

It is a shame but with the cut throat industry that we are in the profit isnt there to keep the door open at times. I know that some months we run at a loss as most people try and screw us on price and ring around playing each company against each other. You may save youself a few bucks today but in the long run all the good shops will close and leave you with the dodgy ones that will sell stuff cheap but offer you no service and real world info and work. Just my 2 cents worth, so next time you get a price just think what the service and info the person on the other end of the phone is giving up is worth.

If that's the case then i'll always pay $20 more for anything like that just to keep all the dodgy shops off the street.
