It's our state gvt shop. They originally do the purchasing and all
the routine maintenance and arrange any major maintenance they
determine is needed. Like any large bureaucracy it's hard to find out
what they are doing so when the guy on the phone says "we sent it to
the dealer..." and you ask why you get a "I don't know, it doesn't say
why in the note." Trying to find the guy who knows is usually more
trouble then it's worth.
