US AUTOMOTIVE (BEDFORD)

[Stu Twin]

In case anyone is interested, my 'local' (ish) parts supplier for US spares recently advised that there will soon be a major change their business.
I just received an email (below) that confirms this.
It doesn't say whether the shop will still be open though...

Thanks. On facebook they said:

"USAutomotive has closed its Bedford premises but this isn't goodbye. We're busy behind the scenes preparing something exciting that will protect the future of USAutomotive and bring you an even better experience..." yadda yadda

But yes, for now, the shop looks to be closed until further notice.

I used John Woolfe a couple of times last year for the same reason, I can pop in there after work on a friday.
You have to know what you want though otherwise they just look in a catalog. And what we want isn't always that straight forward.
