Sad to see this type of stuff, not sure what's in it for him to be out of business but he wouldn't be the first and wont be the last.
That said, FCP may have some items from orders ship from distributors in different areas of the country but their warehouse and office is in CT.

Plus, I already spent the money on all these parts. Noone's making anything off of me bringing back my oil and filters, so if he's still in business, I'll still use him as a parts supplier. I'm doing all my own work nowadays, and convenience of getting parts I need the same day, right on my way home from work, trumps pretty much anything.
As far as people's crappy experiences, that sucks, and I understand people not using him for services if they've had those experiences. I really do. The moment I have one, I'd drop him for good too. But it's hard to give up the only well priced same day parts supplier I have, when I only have 2 hours each night to work on my car, and missing 2-4 nights of working on it while waiting for a part that has to ship to my door really puts me behind.
After hearing about all these stories, I would totally hesitate to get any big job done. But I also would swap my own turbos if I needed to at this point, so it's not really a concern of mine.
