Just read a post from them on Facebook that they have closed down with immediate effect. Sad news, only used them a few times but been to a few rolling road days, always found them very good. Not sure if any of the staff are members here but if so then best of luck in the future.
Sign of the times perhaps, downturn etc who knows?Rolling road is one thing, looking after you pride and joy is another. I took my Evo there, was not impressed (AYC pump issues that was fixed properly else where).
Good friend of mine worked there up until a couple weeks ago but I haven't asked him, then their main welder/fab guy was made redundant (Grapevine so don't take it as fact). I think there's been something funny going on by the new owners.
That said, I imagine a lot of trade for a place like that was someone getting a big pay packet and saying "I want this, this and this for my Evo/Subaru/etc etc, go fit it and map it"
can't imagine there are as many people dumping a couple grand at a time with disposable income.

I remember the Wallace Performance of old when it started with Gavin selling DBA brakes from his bedroom in Kemnay.
It started off initially when he was trying to get a trade deal on a set of wheels for his Cavalier SRi, when the supplier asked who was calling he blurted out Wallace Performance, and so it began.
That would be knocking on the door of 17-18 years ago now, time passes quickly as you age

Ha ha, yes I remember being told that story too... fair play to him! It started off initially when he was trying to get a trade deal on a set of wheels for his Cavalier SRi, when the supplier asked who was calling he blurted out Wallace Performance, and so it began.

I got my Cavalier in 2001 so yes, would have been soon after that the chip was fitted... randomly it was fitted by Gav and Russ whilst they were half way through a BBQ at his house "Here, can you hold my beer whilst I get the ECU unplugged"
Scary to think how long ago that was.
