Petra works mainly on the repair side of the business in Mordialloc, whilst Nimma spends much of her time on sales and customer relations. Disputes arise between Petra and Nimma; Petra alleging that Nimma is engaging in improper practices in her negotiations with customers from which she is deriving personal profits.

A customer, Mr Holding, has also informed Petra that on inquiring about the cost of repairs to his washing machine, Nimma had told him that All Parts could do the job at a lower cost by *cutting out the middleman'.
