Happy New Year 2026!
Just a quick update....I have not done anything with eBay yet. Instead, I've been posting stuff for sale on our Facebook page (The Fiero Factory). Feel free to follow us there....I will be making weekly for sale posts of cars and parts all year long (every Monday), at least until I get a website built where you can shop for parts.
Also, please do not contact TFF Auto Center asking how to contact me. I removed all contact info awhile ago because I did not have the time to answer phone calls or emails while I cleared out the yard in Alabama.
If you want to contact me/The Fiero Factory, you can message me through Facebook or email me at: mike@thefierofactory.com
Please keep in mind that I do not check emails everyday....in fact, I'm lucky if it's once a week. I am more active and available on Facebook, so please consider contacting me there first.
Thanks!
**UPDATE 11/22/2025**
The Fiero junkyard located in Toney, Alabama is officially closed. All of the remaining parts and parts cars were recycled and/or thrown away.
TFF Auto Center, owned and operated by Jeremy Biggs at that same location, is still in business. If you brought your Fiero to Toney, Alabama for work then Jeremy is who you want to get ahold of. Rest assured your car was not one that got crushed. His number is: (256) 929-7999
I am still working on how to proceed from here. Ideally, you would be able to shop for and purchase parts directly from this website. I am still trying to figure that out. In the meantime, I have created a seller account on eBay and will be listing things for sale there very soon. My seller ID is: thefierofactory
Thanks!
June 1, 2025
I bought The Fiero Factory 6 years ago at a time in my life where I had the time & money to make it work. Covid-19 happened 8 months after I took over and to say that screwed up my plans is an understatement.
As with many small businesses I struggled to stay afloat. I borrowed against credit cards and when they were maxed out I borrowed against my house to pay them off. Then I ran the credit cards up again and had to borrow money from family this past December so I wouldn't lose my house.
Essentially, I have been subsidizing the business for at least the past 3, but probably 4 years. Like many people, I thought things would turn around, but it's obvious that it won't. I am spending more to keep the doors open than I bring in and I can no longer afford to do that.
So, I have a decision to make. Close up completely and recycle everything and call it a day or reimagine how The Fiero Factory operates. Scrapping everything would be the easiest choice, but I have an idea that I'm willing to try, but it means no more requests and I'll need to find a regular job and relegate the Fiero business to part-time status..
I will set things up much like most other vendors (The Fiero Store, Rodney Dickman, et al.), meaning almost purely as an online store. I'll re-do the webiste as an e-commerce site where you'll see pictures and prices of what I have for sale and if you see something you want you'll put it in your cart and check out.
So, as of Sunday June 1, 2025 I am closing down. If you called or emailed me with a parts request prior to June 1, 2025 then I will get back to you soon. I have to start somewhere and that means closing down to re-organize. I have no idea on when I'll re-open, but it'll be at least 2 months.
Keep checking back or follow me on Facebook for updates.
Thanks for your understanding and support over the years.
Mike Valentine
Owner: The Fiero Factory
