Yup. But they don’t say which are on site and which are contracted out or which are shipped in from overseas.
Many if not most such shops in the US will advertise products they offer that they don’t actually make on site. It’s much like Glock can’t make the metal parts of their handguns in the US - the Tenifer finish they use is not permitted to be applied in the US. Thank you, EPA.
Another illuminating item for you - why don’t you ask around to see how many actual chrome shops are left in LA. And why that number is the way it is.
I understand West Coast Gasket does most of their own stuff. It's a big operation doing big biz.

Chrome shops are nasty places, much of which employ nothing but illegals, I would hope they all moved elsewhere. Like much of what's left of our manufacturing, the greedy employers like their illegal low wage help, which drags down everything around them.
You can tell the quality of these types of businesses immediately, just by looking at and speaking to their employees.
