Hi LAA
I got a lot of smaller guys come to my shop I fix for. I'm on my own a lot and can get pretty busy with my farming to. All of the small guys will wait for me Or I will just say I wouldn't be offended if someone else did the job if it's real urgent. in the last year only one regular guy took 1 job to a dealer I did the rest of them.
I got a couple of real big farmers round here and one tried to get me from the town where my girlfriend lives, that are known for the"Big I have money attitude", They yell jump you yell back How high sir type guys!!!!. I kinda told them I was busy and I couldn't do there jobs for a month due to other customers. 2 came with the we are so and so we come first. I kinda said I don't care who you are or how much money you think you got. you don't come here regular, If i'm busy everybody gets the same poor service from 2nd to 20th on the list, your place will be 21, or go someplace else.
A lot of my regular customers hate these few guys, I told them if my regulars start thinking I dumped their jobs for them they won't be back. These smaller guys feed me constantly all year, not just when these rich guys have some piece of junk the farms own mechanic or the dealers won't touch. Then guess who don't pay the bills for months, it sure aint the small guys if you happen to work for the others at anytime L.O.L. There are dealers worship those rich guys here. I heard of a smaller guy needing a part to finish harvest, that was on a month back order He could see the part sitting on the shelf . But was told nope its here if so and so happens to need it before he's done.Basically nobody wanted it, it was there just in case this big guy needed it if his machine went down. After 2 days and a call to head office, "promising" to change his entire fleet color he did get it in the end . These guys attitudes just tick a guy right off somedays
regards Robert
