Our dilemma is that we still have to be out of our current building in the next few days, but now have no where to move into. Yes we cut this close, we thought it was a fairly safe gamble, and now we must pay the price for throwing those dice.
So JAP Works may be closed down for a few weeks, but we will come back, and be stronger than ever!
DAMN Guys, Hats off to you!!!
See, This is what a real shop should be all about, "Putting the customer first"!
Unfortunately this customer screwed you royally and it would have been a better idea to throw a bit of insurance in the thought of using shop money to finish a customers car, but I guess you live and learn.
Unlike another certain Tampa Based shop that is under a lot of scrutiny right now, It is nice to see proof of a group of guys wanting to get a project done (the right way) before treating one another to frivolous amenity's such as dozens of High dollar cars/Boats/toys/Etc.
If I ever have something in mind mechanically that needs to be done, And I can't do it myself, You know Japworks will be the first ones called.
Proof is in this post, These guys aren't in anyway selfish.
So Again Guys, Mad Props To You!!!!

I realize it's not a whole lot, but hopefully it helps out a little bit.
