I went to breakfast with my friend this morning in her Toyota. It seems her Toyota Radiator is giving her trouble again. She takes such good care of it, sending it in regularly for servicing every 5000km like clockwork. Yet the car seems to act up now and again.

She says her mechanic is doing a half-hearted job because he is taking on more work than he can handle. His staff turnover is high and he can’t seem to keep his mechanics from leaving. Maybe he pays them below market rate, we don’t know.

Whatever it is, she’s looking to take her business elsewhere because he says it’ll take him a couple of weeks to get her a new radiator. Quite frankly, Toyota radiators shouldn’t be that hard to find.
