Title: Hawk ?
Post by: 02CalTaco on November 29, 2011, 11:06:11 AM
Not sure where to post this. This is not a bash in any way, very nice and helpfull people. Does anyone know what's going on with Hawk Suzuki, I've been tying to get ahold of them about a order I placed a couple weeks ago but no one has been answering the phone, voice mail box is full. I tried email but no response.

Again not a bash just trying to get some info.

it may be that you have tried to contact them during the holidays.  Give them another day or two

I understand the holiday thing but thanksgiving was last Thursday, there is nothing on their site or voice mail that says "closed for the week of and after thanksgiving". I guess no one really knows what's up. Ill just have to wait it out.

Same thing here.......I have been trying to get a hold of them for about a week now. Does anyone have a good suggestion of some one else to deal with.  Preferably in the pacific northwest.

Try giving Trail Tough a call, they are also based out of Oregon.

Wow thats terrible.  They didn't ship my last order for two weeks in august so I called and they refunded my money.  I thought that was strange as they have always been good to me...

I was having a hard time finding some hardware for my rear quarter window, I called them and they where supposed to send me 2 sets for less then half of what another salvage yard wanted for 1. She didn't say anything about going out of business. Damn it, the search is on again. Hmm, do I contact my bank to get my $5 back, I just want the parts.

I have nothing to do with Hawk.  But I can say the decision to close a business never comes easy, and often when the decision is made, that is also the effective date and time of closure. It is very possible the employees didn't know.  That was why they never gave any indication. I had to help close a business several years ago when a family member passed away. Talk about no warning, and the people (me) handling the shut down had no clue. From my experience, I would suggest if you have legetimate open business with Hawk, create a letter and mail it to thier mailing address. Stick to the facts. Getting emotional will only cause more stress and might move your business to the bottom of the pile.  It is quite possible the person handling the shut down may need all the details availible.  If they were a reputable business before the desicion, they will very likley do the best they can to do the right thing after the decision.

It's good to hear that there might be a chance,maybe, that they will continue business. Still messed up that they are just ignoring existing customers and unfulfilled shipments, or maybe I'm the only one. If you see them tell them to call me lol.

Here's more information: William, who was in the process of buying and was operating Hawk Strictly Suzuki for the past couple years or so, stopped making lease payments to Cindy and business/inventory payments to Rick. They (Rick and Cindy) locked him out, terminated all business agreements, and are now liquidating the inventory. Most of the Samurai/SJ vehicles and parts have been purchased. There are many Sidekick/Tracker vehicles as well as late model Vitara, Tracker, and Aerio available. Rick told me that cars and parts not sold by the first of the year will most likely be crushed as a new lessee wants to move into the facility a.s.a.p.

As far as I know the phone and internet/email for Hawk Strictly Suzuki is no longer active and is definitely not manned.

I went down there over the weekend and it was sad to see; but then again we're one of the creditors that didn't get paid also.

We realize this is a very sad situation but rest assured - Trail Tough has done everything we can to aquire and rescue this valuable inventory - we now have a couple hundered vehicles in our salvage yard so call us for the parts need! Order now and take advantage of our 10% off sale!!

That's great!  I was hoping that Trail Tough would take over.

Good luck to everyone!! I just turned them in for fraud and at the BBB. Tired on no communication. My order was from November 3rd. I know people have issues and such but when you take a persons money and then TELL THEM THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, you should!! I did bussiness with them for years and am sorry we have lost a source for our rigs.
  I hope mine and everyones issues get resolved.

I listened to the whole recorded message today and it stated that you could now find them at lowrange.com, but they are out of Utah. I was supposed to recieve some parts also, and never did. I just talked to William the other day and he never said anything about closing. It is sad not to have them anymore. Hope the do reopen. Thier web site is still up. Still wondering about the whole thing.
