Default F1 Motorsports in Hollywood

Does anyone know what happen to F1 Motorsports. There were located on Magnolia. I noticed their website and phone numbers no longer work. Did they change their names or did they go out of business?

Thanks for any info.

Thats just great. They deserve to be out of business. I had a small claims judgement on them. Oh well. I guess I'm just out of luck.

The sign on their building is still up. I've driven by a few times lately, including today, but I have never paid attention to whether or not they're still in business.

I had them install my Tein CS on my 3GS and they never tightened the top bolt. My car started making a lot of noise when I was driving specially over bumps. Sounds like metal slamming into each other. I found out my shocks started to come up into my engine just a little. The entire top part bolt was missing. When I took it to another place they said the only thing that was holding my shock in place and not going through my hood was a washer. He said if that washer broke, the shock would have went through my hood and my front end would be on the floor.

After my small claims was won. I had to hire the Sheriff's Department to collect my money since they didn't want to pay it. But, on F1's business license they are "F1 Motorsports International, Inc." and not "F1 Motorsports, Inc." So, the Sheriff's couldn't collect my judgement since when they got there, F1's business name is different from the court order. I had an AKA amended to my case and then I figured out that F1 went out of business.

Chris was really cool with me too. He gave me a great price for a few stuff they did to my car.

Oh yeah, they also didn't give me back my top mounts for my OEM shocks/springs too. And, apparently the top mounts are not that expensive but they come with other parts to make it's total cost around $750. The parts can't be ordered separately.
