and not ship them back to the factory for a rebuild. Dumb policy, if you ask me, just as shipping them back to Germany was dumb. Far better to ship them to a depot on each coast (since the majority of P-car owners are on the coasts) that can specialize in rebuilds, will have the tools and the parts and can build up the expertise. Asking each dealer to develop the tool complement and the expertise is not wise IMHO.
