W2W was part of a larger corporation, what i heard is they wanted to get out of the automotive performance industry and closed it's doors.

Had nothing to do with customer Service

They would not hire me. That must be why they failed.

This happened quite a while ago. Quite a bit more than two weeks ago if I'm not mistaken. The new company that acquired it ran it into the ground.

Wow thats crazy as hell.. I had no idea that they were owned by a large corp... That was a top notch shop for sure. Hate to see them leave the LSX world, but we all know that some of those guys will branch out on their own and stay at it.

Damn that does suck. It's hard enough to find people that have a clue. Finding guys that know what they're doing, are honest & stand behind their work is rare.

Kurt and Billy are gonna be fine, and the fab guys will be back to work somewhere else I am sure.

With all the automaker cutbacks the place was destined to eventually fall victim unfortunately, be great if Kurt and Billy could start their own thing, that would surly work.
Get the fab guys to come with them too and you'd have one kick *** shop.

Probably already in the works would be my guess.

Kurt and Billy will NOT being working together anymore,I'll leave it at that.

Kurt already has started a new shop and Billy has something big coming together in the near future.

Both of them are fine engine builders that will continue to service the LS community.
