It seems like my dealer was really fast and helpful when ordering parts when I first came in on my 066 build, and over time...appears to be less helpful after making 044 orders.
For example, he said he couldn't order an 044 badge, then I ask him to just get me an MS440 tag, several days later he calls that he can't get that either.? I'm thinking, something's not right, that's a currently produced model, why can't you get a badge for it??
So I go in today (found an 044 badge on ebay) with my last laundry list of missing bolts and misc. parts I need to finish my 044 build and he starts asking me questions about "Am I going to use the saw, etc." It was like he was searching to find out if I'm dealing saw rebuilds which I'm not. I have three saws, never sold a one of them, I just like rebuilding them..:greenchainsaw:
Is there some sort of agreement dealers have that discourages them from selling to the public or us CAD diagnosed regulars?
Or is it just this store wanting me to pay their $50/hour for what I can do myself?
Just curious and a little frustrated by my lack of service. I have two more dealers I could explore by driving an hour and a half, but I'd hate to have to do that.
