TEIN USA, Inc. To Continue Operations Under CA “Safer at Home” Order

Posted on by

As of March 20th, 2020, the state of California has imposed a “Safer at Home” order, basically making all residents stay at home during this COVID-19 outbreak. However, there are some caveats.

In general, the “Safer at Home” order is mandatory for all residents in the state, in an effort to reduce people to potential COVID-19 exposure in large groups. Initially imposed on Los Angeles City, it quickly became a county matter, and now affects the whole state.

This has forced many businesses to close, or at least operate under shorter business hours or fewer staff. Restaurants are only allowing for take-out orders (or drive-thru, if available).

But, as mentioned, there are some caveats to this order. This means that “essential businesses” can continue to operate. Obvious businesses, in general, are medical and health care related offices/facilities, city/county government services (excluding court houses), food providers/restaurants (again, take-out and drive-thru. No dine-in), and automotive services (gas stations, repair shops, parts retailers), as well as several manufacturing industries.

“Non-essential” business are places like bars, gyms, entertainment/event centers, and such.

We fall under automotive supply. And since many of our automotive customers are still opened for services, we don’t want to interrupt the sale of replacement parts for their customers. And, to customers who have shock absorbers to repair/overhaul, we will continue to do so under our normal business hours, until otherwise informed by local/state/federal governments.

We know customers rely on our products for their daily transportation. We don’t want you to be without your means of transport. Our support for you is just as important as your support for our products.

So, with that said, TEIN USA, Inc. will continue to operate under normal business hours (9:00a- 6:00p) Monday-Friday. But, just to mention now, we will be closed on March 31, 2020 for our bi-annual inventory. So no shipping or will-calls that day.
