Default The potential for Super Autobacs

Hi all,

Im sure that most of us here have heard of super autobacs. If not, it is a japanese automotive company that sell performance and maintenance parts for almost every japanese import car. These stores are spread all over Japan and there is even one in SoCal see here. My goal is to bring one over here to the east coast, preferably to the mid-atlantic and tristate area. My goal is to install it in a location that is a reasonable distance from NYC, Phila, and D.C.(not forgetting about you maryland or virginia people ). Right now Im doing research to see if there is enough of an interest base on the east coast to get one over here. Please give me your imput, ideas, rants, etc. Thank you very much!

Cory

I thought the EXACT same thing for a minute or two. Good luck. Maybe the old Builders Square location off of Rt.309?

The interest is there I believe. Location, location, location and $$$. $$$. $$$.

That area is PERFECT. its funny that you say that because I live right up the street from there. Although i go to school in phila. The problem with that is that it is a bit too far from the D.C. and virginia area. I will add that to my list though! thank you for the response!

Oh man this will be great.......Considering the "Thunderbolt" race track is being built, maybe we could also get some JDM racers, like the Drift King, Orido and others to come over this side of the country. I say it's a great idea. "Build it and they will come........."

There will definately be interest as there aren't that many good sources for jdm parts here on the east coast. The hardest part would be trying to find some skilled tuners who really know their stuff when it comes to japanese cars.

The is very true. That is why location is the most important aspect of this whole project. I have found a few locations in the lehigh valley that would be perfect, but that is a hike from the D.C. area. I know that the New York and D.C. areas are very big and autobacs might just have to solve this problem by building more stores later

Check out the Wilminton, Bear, New Castle areas of Delaware. They are 30 to 45 min. from Philly, 1 1/2 from NYC, 1 1/2 from Baltimore and about 2 1/2 hrs from D.C.
