Bob, on another forum a recently departed employee (through the closing) posted that Ray had some health issues, but "that wasn't the reason for the closing, it was more economic." That is the only thing I know of the business, other than what ads I saw for them in the magazines.
I think if CarBizIndio has some parts owed he can probably dispute the purchase to try to get some action.........providing it hasn't been too long since the transaction was processed.
There were mixed reviews on the other forum about RB's........most seemed to love them, but a few said they had trouble getting parts in a timely fashion, etc.
