JAKARTA (JP): PT Toyota Astra is to set up 21 emergency
service posts in Java and Bali to repair cars that break down
during the Christmas and New Year exodus, a company executive
said over the weekend.

The posts will start opening tomorrow and will remain
operational until Jan 4. to repair vehicles, especially Toyota
models, Lia Santoso from the firm's marketing and public
relations department said.

The 21 posts include those located in Cikampek, Cipanas,
Nagrek, Bawen, Alas Roban, Tuban, Malang and Jember in Java as
well as Bedugul in Bali.

Until Jan 4., 14 Toyota workshops will also be open
around-the-clock and another 70 workshops will back up the
emergency posts, Lia said.

The provision of breakdown services is in line with the
government's appeal to automotive manufacturers that they help
safeguard traffic routes during the holiday season. (hhr)
