    Went to drop the alcantara off to get my driver seat repaired finally. I drove up to find that they closed up shop and the building was empty. I added the guy who was running it on Facebook and sent him a message

          Ace Auto Trim in West Bend by us. I found out where the guy works now so I will be paying him a visit to see about getting my seat back. If it was thrown away I probably won't be posting on this forum for a while...lol

            I don't understand why places jump ship without notice. The least they could do is call and say hey we can finish this cause we're done doing business, come grab your stuff.

              ^Exactly my thoughts. The only other things I can think are that they wanted to jump ship on that location but still do the work or they just made a spur of the moment decision to bail. Either way a call by now would have been nice. They left out a week ago if I recall correctly. I talked to the neighboring business that actually is in the same building and does canvas upholstery. The guys owe him money so he knows he will never heard from them again. He said a lot of customers have been coming in lately saying that Ace Auto Trim had their stuff.

                  Wow, it was Ace?  They've been around forever.  I know the son was a douche, drove around in a white mustang convertible with a NOS tank bolted to his roll bar.  Wouldn't run me in my Turbo neon....this was back in the late 90's, don't judge, hahaha.

                  They were pretty successful for awhile, I remember as a kid, they had a Tucker sitting there for reupholstering.

                    Yeah they were the bees knees back in the day. I didn't know but they actually changed hands in 2002. Some guy named Duffy has owned it since then. Ace Canvas in the back still owns their part and that owner is the brother of the original Ace Auto trim owner. I was talking with him for a while yesterday trying to figure out what to do. Luckily his wife saw that the guy I was dealing with (Mickey) is now a manager at the Cousins in town. So now since he read my messages but hasn't replied, I will be stopping by Cousins after work to find out what is going on.

                            which cousins?  If it's the one on paradise I know the owner and can get help with pressure if need be.

                                        Man I hope not!  Although, my dad has already started talking about a little 50cc and building a track in his back yard for him.  One way or another, motorsports will be ingrained in his brain!
