Anybody know what happened to OCC? I just left Starbucks and a fellow c5er came up to me and asked if they had ever worked on the car.... said he needed something done and the place appears to be closed?!

I guess that will depend on your perspective, how much $ you spent there and what you got for it, and what the mods allow to be posted here.

Why would the B.A.R. call you to advise you of that? Did you file a complaint w/ the BAR? Ive never dealt w/ them, just curious.

To set the record straight we are not closed down. We have moved. No details have been released as of yet because we are working out all the little odds and ends of getting the new shop set up. There will be a formal notification made within the next few days to keep everyone up to date.

Thanks,
Danny

Keep it factual, folks.

For the record, OCC is no longer a supporting vendor at CF. Neither are his heirs and successors....
