Why don't you ask them?

Not to be an ass, but if anyone knows the scoop it would be them. No indication of it that I can find...

Sadly they are out of business. Increasing cost of rent and other things. I will miss going there and dealing with Danny and Glenn.

I went there two days ago. I peeked through the windows in front where the offices were and I could see that all the furnishings were gone. The KYMCO lettering on the window had been scraped off though it was still faintly visible. At the back entrance facing the parking lot there are no windows. My guess is that by now they sold off and removed all of their inventory.

The Kymco that you know is gone, but from what I heard the name sold to a guy who planned on reopening as a VW parts and repair shop in Temecula or around there.
