		<description><![CDATA[ Members of the CT Forum,<br /><br />David Menzies, editor at <i>Canadian Technician</i> is looking for some material for a story we'll be running in the September issue. If anyone knows of any shops who are leading the way in wiper blade maintenance, let us know! Maybe you have a anecdote to share on getting your customers to replace their wipers more often, or maybe you have a large wiper blade business.<br /><br />If you have information you would like to submit, drop David or myself a line at david@canadiantechnician.ca or sarah@canadiantechnician.ca. Your help is appreciated<br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br />Sarah - the CT intern ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ CTF,<br /><br />I vote that we need a change in the front office. Martin made be good for the CT magazine, but we need someone who is interested in improving the forum. I have suggested ideas but no one has responded.<br /><br />Anyone interested in running and marketing the Canadian Technician Forum show? <br /><br />Allen, McWrench, BigBlockBob, Sean..........<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Enjoy "The Car Side"? Has anyone yet picked up his new book " A fine day for a drive"? I had the pleasure of meeting Rick several weeks past. He had stopped in my shop, chatted, and I purchased a copy. If you enjoy is column you will also enjoy his book. I am only several chapters in, it reads just like his column. He does have quite the talent of taking the simple and everyday experience and vocalizing it in a descriptively hillarious way. Thanks Rick<br /><br />that is my $0.02, <br />Going over to another thread. I too have been crazy busy and just pop in to see what is new and have been posting very little, but still here. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The other day I wanted to buy the dipstick tool required to check<br />transmission fluid on certain newer Chrysler products. I called our<br />local (name withheld) dealership and was told I could not even be<br />given a price or part number, let alone order one - this tool is for<br />dealership ONLY.<br /> We have a voluntarily R2R agreeement in Canada, and if the information regarding dates and other implementation benchmarks is out there it would make for a good article. For example, in case I just ran into, if they are required to sell this to me as of this date, and they refuse, what, if any, recourse do I have?<br /> Tools, training, scan tools, implementation dates, any information<br />on this would be handy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ i'm beginning to think that a seasonal fluctuation in the gap between average estimate and average invoice is acceptable.<br /><br />if we continue to allow our techs to create the estimate, and we, S/A's & ESO's, 'seasonally' manage that gap, we can, over time, eliminate the traditional slow periods ]]></description>
