autobacs opens

I was reading sport compact car and I saw that an autobac opened in stanton, Ca, on August 28, just wondering if anyone has gone or what it was like? It looks really cool I think i might have to stop by on my way back to San Diego. I did a search but didnt see it if I missed it you can delete this.

why do you say its for rich ricers, is everything really expensive or something? it seems like they have some good stuff though, have you been there?

it's a dope place.

one thing that everyone notes first about autobacs are their outrageous prices. but something i found out myself was, they will match prices. i suppose u just gotta talk to them, and to the right people, and they will look into matching or beating the competition's prices.

for example, i got my tires there a while ago. they had the yokohama parada spec-2's priced at $119.99 per tire. which is just an OK price. but after talking a lot, and well...basically lagging the deal and alotting lots of time to think and "wheel&deal", i got the price down to about $104 per tire. thats probably the best price u can find out there, at a normal retail place with GREAT service and warranty.

another great example is about me getting AEM brake pads. at most places, they sell'em for about 50-55 plus tax. so u're looking at about 57 out the door. well, i went to autobacs just to see, and saw them selling it for about $70 plus tax. i was like...oh ****, thats way too expensive. but i talked to the guy, and i asked him if they will match the price of another place. so i told him of another shop's price, and he's like..okay, one sec. he comes back and says he'll do it for 52 out the door. that's a great price! but then i just randomly asked the guy, if i could get my brake pads checked to see if they even need to be replaced. and he said they could do it, FOR FREE! so i pulled my car into the pit stop, it took about 30 min. and it was dope. i then found out that my brake pads were completely fine with tons of pad left.

thats the dope service autobacs will give you. anyway, for sure i will look to them for parts and see if they'll match or beat other ppl's prices. so they're pretty dope. im glad i live like 5 min from them.

Autobacs is a nice, big store. You can find all kinds of stuff there.
It's like buying stuff from Nordstrom: it costs more, but you're paying for the buying experience also.

I was there for that H-T meet awhile back. Nice place but would mind about the price. It cost to build such a grand place but still they can be flexible on price because they are a very big company and practically are all over Japan.
