Default Naples Acura = FINISHED

Yea, it might come as a shock to you guys but it's over now.
As you may or may not know, we were bought out about a month ago.
Slowly but surely, they are closing down all aftermarket parts sales and internet transactions. It's almost like it's not the same place that I've been for the last three years. It's completely different now, and it's just not working for me.

Mike M. had his final day today, and my last day will be on Thursday.

I'm not leaving the Honda business for good, but I will not be "working" in the automotive field as of next week. There are bigger and better offers out there, where more money can be made for less stress.

I will not be accepting any new orders, but I will do my best to finish all orders that have been placed already. Thanks for all the support, guys. It's been nice.


-Mike K.

Sorry to hear about Naples being bought out. I can totally understand what its like to have a severe change occur in the workplace, whether its being bought out or having a change of management...etc. I wouldnt worry, you will definitely be moving on to bigger and better things.

You have done more than your share providing people with good prices and excellent service and this will not go unappreciated. Best of luck to you in the future.

Mike K is definately the man, I've ordered several small parts from him in the past, good guy and good service...I even got some hilarious "instructions" on how to install some spoiler plugs, he jotted down something about "a monkey could install these", funny ****...

No, I'll pass. I think Billy was looking forward to delivering some Beck Arnley parts.
