Exhibit 99.1


      BONDED MOTORS ANNOUNCES 66 PERCENT WORKFORCE REDUCTION; RESIGNATION OF
   CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND  BOARD  MEMBER;  APPOINTMENT  OF  INTERIM CHIEF
   OPERATING OFFICER


Los Angeles--(BUSINESS  WIRE) April 3, 2000 - On March 29, 2000, Bonded Motors,
Inc.  (Nadaq:  BMTR)  filed  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  a
notification  of late  filing  of its  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

The company is required to file its Form 10-K not later than April 14, 2000. As
previously reported,  the company has been advised by its independent auditors,
KPMG LLP, that it expects to issue a "going  concern"  opinion on the company's
December 31, 1999 financial statements based on the company's current financial
position.

As previously  reported,  the company is in violation of certain bank covenants
under its working  capital line of credit with  Comerica  Bank ("Bank") and has
been working with the Bank to negotiate  extensions  of  additional  short-term
financing.

In  addition,  the company  has been  working  with its major  trade  suppliers
through  Motor  Equipment  Manufacturers'  Association  ("MEMA")  to  obtain an
extension of credit  terms on new orders.  The company has  satisfied  its most
recent financing  requirements through a series of short term overdrafts to its
existing credit line provided by the Bank and an interim credit  agreement with
MEMA.

Management  has taken steps to reduce costs by effecting  previously  announced
workforce  reductions and closings of its distribution  centers in Albany,  New
York,  and  Salida,  California,  and its  manufacturing  operation  in  Macon,
Georgia.

On  Friday,  March 31,  2000,  the  company  effected a further  66%  workforce
reduction in its Los Angeles manufacturing  facility.  In addition,  management
has  been  exploring  various   alternatives  to  obtain  necessary  short-term
financing.

As of Friday,  March 31,  2000,  the company  had not  secured any  alternative
financing  and was not  able to  reach a  further  agreement  with  MEMA for an
extension of credit terms with the company's  major trade  suppliers.  Comerica
Bank has notified the company that it would cease extending  additional  credit
to the company in the event the company was not able to reach such an agreement
with MEMA by March 31, 2000.

If an  agreement is not reached with the  company's  trade  suppliers or if the
company does not have access to the  additional  short-term  financing from the
Bank, the company will not be able to continue funding operations.

On March 27,  2000,  the  company  appointed  Michael  Dulion as Interim  Chief
Operating Officer.  On April 1, 2000, the company received  resignation letters
from its Chief  Financial  Officer,  Paul  Sullivan,  and one of its directors,
David Braunstein.

The  Nasdaq-Amex  Market Group has notified the company that it will delist the
company's common stock from the Nasdaq National Market,  as the company has not
complied with the minimum $5 million  market value of public float  requirement
of the National Market.

The company has appealed the Nasdaq  delisting  decision and requested  that in
the event its appeal is denied Nasdaq list its common Stock on the Nasdaq Small
Cap Market.

<PAGE>


Even if the company is able to secure  additional short term financing from the
Bank and reach a further agreement with its major trade suppliers,  the company
will  require  additional  cash from  outside  sources to continue  funding its
operations.

Management  is  continuing  to  explore  various  alternatives  to obtain  such
financing.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that such financings would be
available  when  needed,  if at all,  or on  favorable  terms  and  conditions.
Additional  equity  financings  would cause dilution of the outstanding  common
stock.

This release contains forward-looking  statements within the meaning of federal
securities  laws which are intended to be covered by the safe  harbors  created
thereby.  Those statements include,  but may not be limited to, the discussions
of the company's  liquidity.  Investors are cautioned that all  forward-looking
statements  involve  risks and  uncertainties,  in  particular,  regarding  the
company's  plans  for  short-term  liquidity.   In  light  of  the  significant
uncertainties  inherent in the forward-looking  statements included herein, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
company or any other person that the  objectives  and plans of the company will
be achieved.  The  following  release  should be read in  conjunction  with the
company's   most  recent   reports  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.

compromised.

benefits which would accrue,  or be paid  reimbursable  business expenses which
may be incurred on behalf of the Company, should I continue my employment.

I have  enjoyed  working  with the  Board,  with all  management,  and with the
employees  of Bonded  Motors these past many years,  and my departure  from the
Company is for no other reasons than those stated above.  I will initiate a new
job search shortly.

Finally, I wish the Company much success in the future.

Sincerely,
