Why is there nothing like Up Garage in the United States? In

The size of Japan compared to the size of the States is why.
More concentrated automotive scene over there.

There were hundreds of these in the US before the Japs even thought of modifying a car, they were called speed shops. Most of them went out of business as mail orders and online businesses like Jegs and Summit became more successful

Because we have the internet and reliable shipping kid. I know you are at most 20 years old but shops like this used to be everywhere. Guess what? They are all out of business.

Speed shops were different because they either did the work themselves or custom fabbed parts. This is basically used aftermarket parts for sale and that's it.

>>14878821
Yea, they are called import junk yards in the US, otherwise known as pick and pull.

The Japanese took over. Boring out a block and adding a Hurst shifter was replaced with cheap coilovers and "electric" superchargers. Everyone wanted their 4-banger Civic to be as fast as the V8s so companies advertised products to do so and sold directly to the consumer. American car culture died one tracking number at a time.

>buying used performance parts
only gooks are that poor thanks to their shit ass vehicle licensing/crushing scheme, that doesn't happen in america.

>>14878852
no, upgarage sells their used parts cheap as fuck because japanese people don't like buying used shit.

>>14878889
and why do you think all those used parts exist on the market anyways? because japan doesn't allow old cars to be on the road hence the mods are ripped off before being scraped or sold to some weeb in north america.

simply zero market man. in the US cars go to the scrap yard with the parts sold in such a shop.

There still is. Mainly for muscle cars though.

Hawaii Racing is a big one. And Summit is basically next day shipping in LA. You can't really beat that convenience.

>Selling used performance parts in the USA

Just begging for a lawsuit when some beaner wraps his civic around a pole

>Specialized retail, ever

>"No, we don't have it in stock, BUT I CAN ORDER IT FOR YOU"

I could order it to my house, for probably less money, and not have to drive to pick it up.

The selection in their tool shops is also impressive.

Probably because weebs are the lowest of the low, bottom of the barrel, friendless losers with no money to spend trying to emulate a culture of sociopathic pedophiles. Basically your interest in Japan has an inverse relationship with your social, financial, and romantic success in America.

So no, a car shop catering to the dredges of society would not be successful.
