Default Kulu and Tunerworks Calgary burn down

Hearing reports of this and corroborated by articles online of a fire in Calgary. Pretty crazy inventory in there… what a shame

Kulu was always nice to me when I would come in and kick tires. Sad.

He has a very nice personal collection of cars. Hope none of those were damaged. Really nice guy.

Based on their post on IG only showroom and offices were affected by fire the workshop and customer cars are all intact - no mention of Kulu in that post

The Kulu showroom next door to Tunerworks is completely gutted...roof collapsed, and anything that was inside is destroyed (confirmed by fire department).

Rumor is the Ruvuelto they had in stock caught fire and couldn’t be put out due to battery fire

So sad. A lot of nice cars in there and I believe Kulu stored his personal cars as well.

I would not want to be dealing with insurance on this one…
