    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.

    I'm sorry to see them leave the car scene as they were one of the biggies. Their prices were in line though I did stop buying via e/mail order from them because of their shipping cost policy. I suspect that there may be more of these 'giants' go as their owners get on physically or age wise or have over extended themselves financially. It's a tough, cutthroat business and like any other business, regardless of the product that was an out growth of a local proprietorship, 24/7 with little or no time off. Think dairy farmer kind of hours and then some
