Greetings!
A story out of Surrey, British Columbia shows why it's important to do things the right way. A combination shop/used car dealer out there just had its dealership license revoked, and is going to end up paying around $37,000 in fines and administrative assessments. Basically, they sold a rebuilt Toyota Prius that had insufficient repairs concealed under the rear bumper and internal mouldings. Ignore the fact that this is dangerous. We all know that. It's also a bad idea because sooner or later, shoddy work will be found out. Mike Davey,Editor |
