Another store near me that handles the same brand has an atmosphere that feels purely commercial, like they could care less if i walk in the door or not. The parts men have a blank stare and usually i'm the only customer. The parts men are competent and the mechanics in the shop are good, the personal side of doing business isn't there and that is part of what brings in customers. Jim
