Default Rpm closing in lewisville,tx

So people don't have to fish for the information and it's public now anyways and seems a lot of people who come across the quote are panicing/shocked... RPM will be closing its doors. Brian has made this post below on how to reach him concerning your parts/labor/car if it is up there, tuning updates, etc.

Matt will be at 21st Century Muscle Cars

Manuel is already at Simple Quick Racing

Just some information for those who are interested or would like to follow each tech/tuner.

I am eventually closing RPM. We are not taking anymore cars in at this time. I want to publically thank everyone who supported us through the years. It was a good run. We had alot of fun and enjoyed meeting the people that we did meet. Since its everyones business, jeremy's car will be taken care of. Hopefully he will take it to 21st with matt so that matt can finish it. Page has already approved this. Just up to jeremy. I have not screwed anyone over and have been in contact with all the customer's cars that are still there. I will not just abandon the customer's cars that are still there. Im not running off with parts, nor taking anyones money. Those that have parts owed to them will get them, and those who have made deposits will receive them back. I will make right with everyone. Matt is moved on to bigger and better things, and for this I could not be more happy for him. The economy has just simply taken its toll on us. For tunes through RPM i will be working out something with Matt and Page to let people come there for updates etc. When I have something in concrete I will let everyone know. Again thank you to everyone who hung in there with us through thick and thin. I hate to have to close the shop, but at this time this is the only choice that I have. If anyone has any questions or concerns please feel free to pm me and or email me at lohse1978@live.com.

BTW, congrats mikey on your reaching your goals. Sucks that its hurt though.

Good luck to everyone in their endeavors and I will see some of you at the track!!!

Sucks that they're shutting down, but at least Brian is being open about it and trying to do right by everyone.

Man I tell you my dad and I have a auto repair shop and it's hard enough making ends meet on the repair end of it. I know what you were and are up against. Times are really rough on small business' right now. I purchased a few thing from them for my t/a and it hurts to see another good shop disappear. good luck.

Crap! I had a laundry list of fix up stuff I wanted them to do to my car. I was just stalling while I got the $$$ together. Oh well. Back to the drawing board. Good luck Brian and to the rest of the guys that were at RPM.

Don't know why you would say that, are you sure your in the right regional forum? SQR has nothing but an excellent reputation, never heard a bad word about that shop from anyone. 21st has hired several new mechanics all whom I know personally and I know they are all top notch mechanics. I also know that one of them is the only person who has tuned my car in many years but I don't know if he will be tuning for 21st. I wouldn't hestitate to take my car to either 21st or SQR.
