Manicure 300x252 Toyota Recalls 400,000 Hybrids, Offers Free ManicuresWith another 400,000 hybrid cars added to Toyota’s huge faulty-gas pedal recall — bringing the total to 4.6 million cars recalled worldwide — dealers are getting extra funds from the manufacturing giant to help repair the problems and — hopefully — keep their customers.

It’s one of many perks dealers are providing to keep their uneasy customers. “We’re giving out free movie passes, and we drive them to the movies while their car is being worked on. We’re also giving free manicures,” an NY-area employee told the New York Post.

“We are trying to calm them down a little.”
