Jared Cooper, quoted in Koin6 news; "It's going to be hard to bounce back, but we're not going to let it stop us."
With a heavy heart we found Sunday morning around 1am a raging fire struck at our building. It started at our neighbors laundromat and spread across the entire building and has been declared a total loss. Our customers came out the least scathed with cosmetic damage from the drywall falling on them. As soon as we had the ok from the fire department we cut the door open and got the cars out before the roof gave way further. We have lot a large portion of our tools. All of our electronics equipment, electronic components we had on inventory, expensive diagnostic equipment, lots of parts & material we had on hand for jobs and much is unknown as there is a large amount that is displaced. We are doing our best to sift through the wreckage to salvage all we can but we are currently displaced without a shop. We will post more info as we continue but we aren’t stopping. Our shop has been our biggest labor of love and this is a true heart break for us but all of the support we have been getting from people has been astounding. We are truly grateful for our customers, friends, family and everyone that have helped us.
Jared and Cyntia Cooper have sacrificed everything for their business, putting blood, sweat and tears into RD, and this tragic event is something that they never deserved. They're hardworking and honest people who spent over 5 years in the automotive performance industry, delivering the best of their skills and services to the public.
We have salvaged what we could but this is still a long road to recovery, we're asking for your help to get back up, and become stronger than ever. Thank you for listening to our story, whatever you contribute is deeply appreciated, we will continue on and look forward.
