If you have been anywhere on social media or follow Accuair, you may or may not know that they have filed for bankruptcy and have essentially shut the doors. For over 18 years Accuair has been making advancements in the air suspension industry and they have developed some truly top not products such as the e-level management and the Endo tank. All of us at Fitment Industries are truly saddened by this news and would like to offer any help we can to accuair and the team.

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.

[@Frank-ut5mj]

it's a business, not charity.

[@mrpipefitter9963]

Frank Ji honestly lol

[@fishyfinflaps]

What does that have to do with anything? FI has the means to streamline the manufacturing process and bring pricing down. It is the obvious reason why the market will not grow quicker. If an entry level kit could be had at a lower price you would murder the market. Make it accessible then upsell on the options. Save your sarcasm, as they would easily generate hefty amounts of revenue. Offer an entry level system that is accessible and safe, and then tax hard on all the accessories. Make the parts specific for your application, and just run with it.

[@sam_s_]

@@fishyfinflaps Just curious how FI has the means to streamline the manufacturing process more so than the original manufacturer was able to? Could you elaborate on that?

[@fishyfinflaps]

They could easily strike a manufacturing deal or give a little equity to one of the million proveyers they deal with to help get them going. Taking over all intellectual property would give them a great template to start while they staff, or subcontract, etc. They clearly own the marketing share and have a loyal following. You are talking exactly like someone who has not ran a business, especially manufacturing. This is a home run for them if they want to branch out. I'm sure there has been many meetings in the recent past discussing their own line of products anyways.

[@lopinion6661]

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

[@eskamobob8662]

Moving a manufacturing facility isnt an easy thing to do. It would probabaly be hundreds of thousands just to move facilities not including the actual equipment cost

[@TrVlogs82]

So gree. However, don't change how they make or do things. Still, let them run it. Their quilty is great and unseen in the Air Suspension. I like Air Lift but the quality isn't there nor is the customer service #saveaccuairFI

MrHillfolk yeah, I understand 100% but I also think they didn’t know they would go bankrupt the corona virus is what really pushed them over cause Cali shut down everything just like here in Chicago. You gotta look at it from a more business point of view and see there was no way for them to keep all their employees employed without a business that’s high on demand and low on supply as is

They have the best and COOLEST air system on the planet hands down......my dream was to run their Endo CVT with E level + some day.

[@Larwince]

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!

I just got a fitment industries ad on a fitment industries video

[@RoleyChiu]

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.

[@0jesse10397]

Because almost everybody also knows that they were terribly unreliable. I've heard of people that ran a separate compressor next to it because the in tank pump would refuse to work that often. I think this was also part of the reason they went down.

[@SkylineLofe]

I think the best way for AccuAir to come back is for people to order custom air suspension. Like, they fund the money needed to make air suspension for their own vehicle, like a Nissan Rogue or Lexus RX. That way, not only will AccuAir be able to come back, we could have air suspension for many more vehicles

[@lorandnagy6442]

Down the road I wanted to put my 06 speed6 on air, and Accuair was my go to. Such a shame that tough times can wear off on such great companies. #saveaccuairfi

[@urobos1]

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.

[@jdmjunkies2680]

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.

[@eld1200]

Yoo I’m in the video lol. But on a real note as a former employee it’s shit seeing this.

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

[@blkeclipsel2400]

Well I mean you did tell a founder of a company that you don't like his product. Maybe he thought you were being rude and gave what he got. It was his business and how the man ate - if anyone had a right to be passionate about air suspension it's him. Also considering the BS I hear from static guys I imagine it's tenfold for him. He probably hears that on a near daily basis from random dudes at shows.

Clearly accuair has no business model as they evaded taxes. Hence bankruptcy

[@P0k3D0nd3M4cG]

It's much more complicated than that. There's production QA/sustaining, regulation compliance, validation testing, vendor sourcing, relocation fees (Wyoming is infinitely cheaper than CA) and finding new engineering staff (I highly doubt people who have built their lives here in CA will just up-and-leave). There are a lot of factors that go into this; it's not as simple as "hUrDuR lEmMe mAkE a PuRcHaSe"
