Got back to WV on Tuesday night.
The Toyota dealership in Morgantown did not get the
new radiator on Monday, as they promised.
So we stayed an extra day in Lewiston.
So the plan was to drive the rental car back to Morgantown on Wed,
pick up my Avalon (Mrs. Lew's actually) and return the rental car.
I left S WV around 9AM and planned to arrive in Morgantown around noon.
I called ahead , 'just to make sure'
When I arrived the dealership told me they had the wrong radiator
and called around the Morgantown area to get a replacement.
It would be ready by 3:30--4:00.
At 4 the cell phone rang and they said the car was ready.
I dropped off the rental and picked up the Avalon.
After driving 20 miles the temp gauge started to fluctuate between the middle indicator
and 90% Hot...I got gas half way ...The fluctuating stopped
and now the gauge is between 80 and 90% hot
but not in the orange warning area.
When I got to my driveway, the resevoir tank was boiling and spilled on the driveway.
I called a local auto shop and the car is there now
getting a new thermostat or water pump...
It seems crazy to dump all this $$ repairing the car, but it is a great car
and I like not having a loan...Even though these repairs seem
like making a car payment,,,....
Needless to say I am ticked at the Morgantown Toyota place
and will give them a call after the local guy fixes what they did not.
