What the ........
The bus manufacturers in the US from whom we purchased buses had an entirely different view of quality control. For the most part, if they could drive or push the bus out the back door of their manufacturing facilty, then it was deemed to have passed their quality control standards. As a result, we had to recheck each bus that arrived at Crestline for quality control. This photo is of a brand new bus just arrived from Goshen, Indiana. How in the world could Goshen have allowed this product to pass their inspection?
Why did we continue buying our buses from the US? Because the US bus manufacturers built thousands of buses per year and were able to supply a wide variety of models at prices lower than would have been our cost to manufacture them ourselves (and that was even after factoring in the cost of repairing their shoddy workmanship).
