Is AccuAir Finished?  

Use #saveaccuairfi.

I’m a static guy but still sucks to see this go down because of the circumstances. Really dope company.

Accuair A division of Fitment Industries ... the name just rolls off the tongue

Yes dude. Buy them, and give us what we want. No one listens to their customers better. Bring pricing down, cut the unnecessary out and give us what works. Such an awesome idea.

if you bought them you could combine facilities and sell a small amount of their product in house and have a larger profit. sorta like raceland but with managment

It definitely sucks that a company that started out as a dream has to shut down. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 they come back stronger and better after this whole situation

They must of had problems before the Coronavirus. 18 years of service and to go out in two weeks? Seems kinda fishy.

Talk about shooting ur shot 🤣🤣🤣🤣. FITMENT INDUSTRIES, keep them alive, invest in ACCUAIR 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Coilover guy myself, but if its possible do whatever you can to buy them out!

Now all i need is that sweet "Going out of business sale" for 70% off!

They should start making ventilators 🤷🏽‍♂️

Maybe this is time to start your own suspension company using accuair as a jumping off point ?

Thank you for trying to save them I was really bummed out hearing they are shutting down! I’ve been dreaming about installing accuair bags in my Acura rsx since I bought her! 😭

When you get a fitment industries ad on a fitment industries video

buy Accuair, keep the dream alive!

Nice video. Glad to hear someone saying kind words of something unfortunate. Terrible to see people out there who put out mean memes about this situation. Best of luck to the people with acciair

For them to go out of business so fast their heads were barely above water as it was

The good thing is, the product will probably be produced in the future one way or another. Given how good e-level is, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts being made again under a different name and a bigger company. It sucks that a small business is going, but hopefully their product will remain.

@FitmentIndustries I would love to help them, and only thin I can is support them. And I really hope someone that has a big heart, to help bring the Accurair alive again.

Heard they continued to take orders and then just filed for bankruptcy Shady asf if u ask me

Got an endo cvt system from them last year , was hoping to move to e level +. Hope there’s still some support for the current accuair customers :’(

Move your business out of California!

I meet the owner at a car show once. He wasn't so nice and was rude about what I like about cars. Me and my brother told him air suspension is cool but not what we like. He went off on how his systems are better than what we have.

Man, and I was just a few months of saving away from getting their endo cvt system

Dude that mop on your head is killer

accuair is based in my hometown, San Luis Obispo. Hate to see them go, always used to drive by their warehouse by the airport just to see the cars outside. Something should be done to keep them going.

It’s amazing how many people are saying they wanted to buy accuair after they closed also something sounds off for a company to close down only 2 weeks into the lockdown this had to be happening for a while now they just needed a good reason to do it still sucks to see them go

Take any IP the company owns and begin to license the designs to local shops and company. If their primary overhead was caused by manufacturing & supply chain issues - they can likely still survive due to the brand & engineering they have put into the products. If they partner with other machine shops across the US and provide training they can still drive sales while keeping their overhead low. Basically reference the way the solar industry does things. Manufacturing is done by one company, brand and R&D another company, installations and supply chain done by another. As a small business Accuair - doing everything, especially at a time like this unfortunately won't work. They are an awesome company, hope you guys can save them. Above is my opinion.

I’m so so happy I went with Air Lift Performance.

That's really sad. Accuair hassort of been the David of air suspension with the Goliath AirLift because of how they changed the game with their management. They don't deserve to go out like this, especially when they have a system that people stand by and is genuinely great.

I don’t want to see the Endo CVT and Accuair as a whole go

Jesus I’m early

I was gonna get accuair for my lexus is350 😭😭sad to see this happen😢😢

I see what you’re doing Fitment Industries :) .. and id actually love for that to happen . They need the help right now and instead of letting the whole company die , y’all should step in . And maybe one day they could get the chance to go independent again ofc . #saveaccuair

Accuair needs to learn from airlift and do 15-20% off on certain holiday's 🤦🏽‍♂️ and this is the reason why everybody has airlift in every carshow I go because of pricing affordable 👍🏽

I have/had every intention of buying 2 Endo CVT's with dual pumps each once the summer busy season hit. FUCK.

Some people was saying shit about them mismanaging the business and not blaming taxes..... If its true idk but i wouldnt think something would happen this suddenly

I wanna know how I can get the FIxTNF collaboration jacket, Alex?? 👀

Sometimes price does affect sales, the product they sell is top notch, but at the end of the day(Alex voice). We all do price comparison. Airlift has been around for years with good reason and all the other companies. 3500full kit vs 4500 management that does the same thing is kind of a no brainer. They lower the prices and bring the product to match the competition. Watch how they take over. Price does matter when you build on a budget

Dont u think for a business thats been around for 18 years can collapse in 2 weeks of no or low business seems a bit sketchy?? Ur telling me they didnt have any cash from the last 18 years of being open? Thats got some bologna written allllll over it

I know what happened their shit was way too fucking expensive! Shit to buy the system I wanted would cost more then my truck!

To be totally honest the company and the patents as well as the machines should be kept to open production again, sadly accuair have the only in tank compressor management system in the market just let people like me that wanted to hide the system because want the trunk space open just static options... if your company can not buy totally accuair then another option is to invest in it to safe the company while looking for other companies that can supply the raw materials still to keep the company up float

18 years in the business and they never thought to put a display on their remote.

I seen your first car recommendation video and I was just wondering what your thoughts were on a Nissan Altima coupe? Thanks

San Luis is not a cheap place to operate a business. We have some of the highest tax rates in the state and large businesses here have a hard time sticking around. These guys were always cool tho so sucks to see them go!

Keep the brand going!!! Accuair is the most elite brand out on market @Alex.fi

Calibrate with accuair and create a new company to continue the awesome products. Could name it FITMENTAIR! #saveaccuairfi

They actually started with a first-gen Blazer not a Trailblazer.

They could list it and as a group we could by them out with fitment industries as the managers?

Why isn't anyone talking about the key differentiating factor about Accuair. The ENDO-CVT is something other companies haven't yet duplicated. Having two noisy external compressors in my trunk while also taking up extra space is the primary barrier from me wanting air suspension.

No no no NO NOOO! Bro i need there stuff. I want there stuff for so much builds yo. I said to myself there aint no other i want to rock with other than accuair and now this shit. 2020 sucks and my life has already been bad enough, now this shit.What about donations? A dollar wont hurt. Because man i can't let them go they got my interest in bags

Save them. Always wanted an accuair system for my tl!

Hey big update as of today Accuair is in the final steps of being purchased by Arnott, so hopefully the Accuair products will be returning to the market soon.

ACCUAir IS BACK BABY

I love coilovers and bought BC racing coils. The other option that I wanted Accuair for my Acura rsx. This sucks. But their line was expensive and didn't offer it for my car

So will this bankruptcy affect the exciting accuair kit owners . I. Talking along the lines of replacement parts for those people in the car community that has the air system installed in their car .

😭 I want it in my IS250 🦿

Eh! I need more info about why they shutdown. I try not to support failing business plans.

What if my accuair shit goes out 😆 loo

Not a single answer to the question "What happened". Two-three weeks of bad times due to corona doesn't make such a big company go bankrupcy. It must have been going on for awhile. Reasons for that, I'm not gonna speculate. Anyhow, it's very sad Accuair is now history.. or are they? Would be cool if someone (new owner) could save them and keep making their parts in that high level. This being said by an AirLift customer.

Airlift is really killing the game tho, especially more recently 👌 sad to see accuair go tho, maybe you guys can snag a deal and combine🙏🏻

Dope merch drop and buy accuair

Guys, Accuair most likely didn't just COMPELTELY PLUMMIT as a company, they were probably accruing heavy losses and realized that the curve wasn't slowing down. Claiming bankruptcy can be a blessing. It gives them some time to chill, hold on to any assets they may still have, before they start going into the red. It's a smart business decision in times like these.

damn, i still had work id pitch in....things ate rough right now, but im optimistic of them making a way back.

Thanks for the video! Had Reno on Our Lifestyle Podcast last year and have always loved the AccuAir brand. Getting ready to install it on my ‘64 Lincoln convertible which is my 4 ride with some form of AccuAir... I will continue to use it for years to come. Hope Reno and team come back with an even bigger/better product! 💥 Keep up the nice job.

They should have kept up with taxes. No sympathy at all, it's been going on since 2017

I don’t know the profit margin Accuair had but their products were SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. The products are awesome though and great quality. If they could find a way to cut some of that price tag they might be sustainable for awhile longer.

Can we all buy the company like a consortium? Probably like how force india was bought by racing point? (f1 stuff)

Hello Fitman Industries, the US Small Business Administration is assisting small businesses in this time of need> It can be directly with the federal government or guaranteer in their local bank. I'm a big fan and was justing in changing my coil-overs for air suspension and to hear the news about Accuair makes me want to help. Even if is pointing them in the right direction.

Man y’all boys should put some scratch together and buy the company!!! It is a SUPER BRAND DON’T LET IT DIE!!👍🏿

Before you all feel sorry for accuair, go have a look on fb, what AVS has said about them. Few posts down on the AVS fb page

They will still be in our hearts 😔

What where the black wheels on Alex's left

You guys and accuair need to partner with a dealership, so a person can buy a car, get the parts they want (or even put on), and all financed. Though you’d have to have a huge repo network, because I’m sure a lot of people would break it then just stop making payments.

Once again, FI. Alex impresses the hell out of me, smart move and smart video. As a car enthusiast it’s terrible news. Small companies like these are the ones that drive the revolution and stand avant-garde everyone else. Now, from a business point of view... them holding out till the end and really trying (I’m sure) to come up with a strategy to keep the company a float is the reason that this is coming out the blue. Bankruptcy isn’t always a death sentence but it is a ball and chain that is hard to get rid off. Niche companies like these are hard to keep afloat even without the “shutdown” just take a look at your suspension videos for the past couple of months. You’ve talked about coil overs and lowering springs but not very much about air. That has an influence in the market that you advert in, the people at fitment industries are really smart and they observe the market because they are consumers themselves that’s why they react so easily to the changes to the market, it’s like that whole “keep an ear to the ground ” thing. It would be great for FI to buy/merge with AccuAir but it really depends on the true condition that they are in. I’m sure they have orders that are still to be met and other things going on... so it really depends on how they handle themselves in the next few weeks.. buying a failing business is kinda like going out to save someone thats drowning. You have to be strong enough to keep yourself afloat while your keeping them afloat as well. listening Alex speak the way his doing in this public manner let’s me know that Fi is definitely strong enough, not only because of the business they have but also because if the amount of backing they have from the community. Last thing......: licensing it’s always an option, yes they are many risks like quality control, brand name etc.... but it will keep you afloat.... just a thought.

Too bad I can only afford coilovers...

#saveaccuairFI This totally breaks my heart 💔! I have been saving up to put Accuair in my current build.... If they are filing bankruptcy due to economic decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they should look into the EIDL Program put in place by Congress and President Trump to help businesses stay alive during all this. There are also other programs that have been put into place to help businesses during this time...grants, interest-free loans up to $10 million dollars to help businesses of every size get through the economic disaster we all find ourselves in at the moment. #saveaccuairFI

Lets be real here, Accuair was the best air you can get for your car. But, since anything you buy doesn't cost less than $1000, people saw that coming.. i understand that quality usually means pricetag, but you can build yourself a reliable system for lest than half the cost of their basic VU4 and elevel. I'd say its just greed that put them in this situation

Maybe not buy them completely out but maybe just buy a portion of there company to where both companies make profit and stay alive. Maybe like a 70/30 split

WAIT so I can place my order an not pay till summer.Like getting something from a friend an telling them u will pay them back when u have the money?????????

They filed Chapter 7. Not chapter 11. Chapter 7 is beyond rehabilitation. It’s now liquidation.

When @alexfi says "we're more than a phone call away" ... so like email? or fax?

A lot of Companies do a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to restructure their company and reset and start over again, in this case, it seems Accuair filed for Chapter 7 which is basically selling of property and all assets to pay creditors and walk away.

I know it's April 4th but tell me this is an April fools joke.

Start selling those TheNorthFace jackets Alex is wearing please!

y’all should either buy accuair or at least try and help some of the employees get some jobs if that’s possible. i’m sure if you guys got into the suspension manufacturing business people would buy it, especially if it was engineered by the people at accuair. i’d say definitely look into buying it... it could take you guys farther than just being a supplier

ACCUAIR WILL SURVIVE THIS...... they will come back... they're too good not to. In a world of mediocrity Accuair shone like a beacon. They have great history, a quality product and sound ethics. I just turned 80 and was so looking forward to putting their E system on my vehicle. Just have to wait a little longer.... but it will happen. Stay safe and be healthy guys. Dave.

Oh No! I had planned on getting their CVT system with their newest controller... Damn! I sure hope they make it back, maybe some restructuring? #saveaccuairfi

I’m not sure if you’ll reply to this but I have a quarter of a million dollar show/race car that has the eLevel system in it and I’m wondering who I could talk to if or when I ever have any issues?

Can you buy the brand knowledge and R&D. Sell the equipment they have and look for someone who could manufacture the parts at a cheaper price and faster rate? You would have the franchise for all their R&D and anything they own.

His bagged competitors are probably being all smug knowing that the market just opened up a bit more. The static folks are slightly cracking a smile (or a cringe). Everybody else in the industry? *Darth Vader breathing sounds* “NOOO!” 😡

They should speak to their cpa about getting their hands on some of the billions of dollars the government is giving businesses to stay afloat.

Buy 49% stock in the company. Gives them money and support to keep rolling out sweet systems, while still maintaining some control over their company, and FI now has a feature brand. Win-win 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s sad to see this happening to any US company. I bought the CVT during the 1st presale. Awesome & quiet product. Then I bought the e-Level + during SEMA which got delivered last month. They completely closed shop & the app new wasn’t even released (at least I can’t find it) so now I have a awesome digital system with no way to remotely use it 🤬

Last time I was this early I still had a dad

Someone needs to buy that company. If that is Fitment Industries, or KW, or AEM, or Edelbrock AccuAir is a company that the aftermarket needs.

Wait wait hold on.... this is an April Fool’s thing right? Right??

I purchased a system and had it installed right before they filed. Accuair employees were compete a-holes to my installation shop and myself. I had a very long conversation with a “customer service” manager, and he didn’t care at all how they treated my shop or myself. I had to pay them a deposit for another tank/compressor to get my system working (I had to fight them thru PayPal to get my deposit back even though I had sent the return back weeks before). They were trying to keep my money...a-holes! Luckily, to-date, I’ve had no problems, so I hope someone else purchases them!
