Maybe since it took two shops and two tries that's second sourcing.... but hey how would I know I'm not the one that made up the word
Second Sourcing This is a term used in most parts buissnesses when the source(say for instance advance auto parts) you are trying has done everything possible to find the part and they cannot get it, they suggest a local second source (such as napa or autozone). Second source can be used in many different ways. So in GONZO's instance He would be working on his car (the source) would be a different mechanic. and he is right alot of people around here are just certified idiots. But i still dont see why this post had to go anal over two words, drama queen
Source= You
Second source= someone else
and its not a new term it has been used for years, being a mechanic i am supprised you have never heard this joey
