General Practice in the automotive repair business. Doing that makes for
good customer relations.

Could also mean that the Subaru dealer is hoping they can bait you into
buying a new one. I get those and more from the local Chevy dealer.

Yesterday I got a Xmas card from them with a $20 gift certificate, good

that hold the tailgate up before it hits the bumper. That was in 2005.
