dej, I don"t think anyone has a clue to what it takes to run a dealership because they want first rate service when they want it or absolutely need it and then during the cold, snowy and nothing going on time of year you could lock the doors and no one would know still the utility bills keep piling up payroll has to be made with little or no money coming in then they decide they want a tractor or combine or whatever and want it right away because they saw what they wanted at another dealership while on vacation somewhere 100"s of miles away. Don"t get me started then some company genius decides to hold a tech training class right in the middle of your busiest time of year (which is required by the way) to maintain your franchise so you have a tech sittin in a hotel conference room suckin on donuts and drinkin coffee while customers are screamin for service so some of us untrained types try to keep the pot from simmering to a boil then the tech comes back Monday morning and would like to entertain a raise since now he has a patch and certificate with training paid for by me! My suggestion is you big farmer types need to budget for a plane ticket to go get parts or do it through the internet and wait for the UPS truck OR do your repairs during the winter months while parts are cheap and the poor dealers need the money!BTW those fancy dealership buildings and displays are required also to maintain your contract. Sorry guys had to vent! CT
