We rib each other here about Remingtons vs. Rugers vs. Winchesters as well as Chevies vs. Fords vs. Toyotas, etc. etc.

You all KNOW where I stand ... but I figured I'd stick a feather in my dealer's cap today.

Last evening I got a call from my dealer. They said there's a new recall that just came out (sumpin 'bout a spring in the seatbelt retractor).

At 9:30 this morning, the doorbell rings and it's a guy from the dealership. He left me a new (400+ miles) Toyota loaner and took my truck in for service. This afternoon, he brought it back, took the loaner car and handed me my paperwork plus a certificate for $25 that can be used anywhere in the dealership (parts or service). I went out to look at the truck and it had been washed and vacuumed, wheels cleaned and tires dressed. I'd say some other dealers in town could take some lessons.

That is all.
