I have been giving this topic some thought for a while and finally found a way to tie in a story about the truck and being a Yes business.

Firstly a yes business is an organisation that says yes to its customers more often than no.  You find ways to help, solve problems or get a solution for a customer.  Yes Inderstand what you are looking for, we dont stock it but I can reccommend XYZ business who does.  Everyone ends up a winner.  As opposed to the  “ No” and you walk out the door most dissatisfied.

Old Trucks are prone to needing repairs on an ongoing basis.  I am due  a warrent and the headlights were not working properly.  This story has a long and  short version.  Here is the short offering.

I finally found the fault.

Thanks to Tahuna Auto Electics for testing the faulty and replacement part to prove I was right.

The part I was after is not that easy to find although you can get modern equivilants.  I went onto forums, e-mailed Australia (still waiting for a reply) and contacted a few mates.  To cut to the chase.

I called in to see Robert @ Seeka Panel & Parts who I have known for a while.  No was his answer but he also offerred to make a phone call.  About 10min later he rang me to tell me a local wrecker had something that would probably fit.  I was there in five minutes.  So to Superior Spares in Tahunanui, Thank you for being bothered to look and find the part I needed.

Both of these busines demonstrated strong YES charateristics and for that I am both grateful and now an advocate for them.  My spend was only $20 but i will try and generate that many times over for both of them.

Truck now back up and running andyes off for a warrent later in the week.
