announcement yesterday? that wasn t a wise idea to do yesterday, because it had people in a hysteria. the phones lit up and people had issues with the car, whether it s broken down or a tire repair or whatever, couldn t get through, because we were dealing with people who were hysterical being told not to drive their car, to pull over on the side of the road. really irresponsible on his part, but i don t think he meant to say that, butt that but that came out. reporter: and the impact on your sales, finally they will come back. toyota is a quality product and they ll take care of their customer. reporter: thank you very much for joining us. and they expect this place to be hopping in the coming days and weeks. they re currently making appointments for people to come on and it s up to mike gates and the other mechanics to teach the others, ali? we ll be following it. the gas pedal is sticking and the floor mat, some cars qualify
