I never understand these places. I travel a lot in forestry contracting, and see a lot of shops.
I think it might be as high as 1-in-2 that just simply don't carry Husqy's XP mix oil. If you call them on it, they'll say, oh, you don't really need that, and it's more expensive. This oil here is just fine...
I run Husqy saws, but I use Stihl blades on my brush saws and occasionally end up in Stihl shops due to this problem; Stihl shops seem far more consistent in offering HP Ultra for sale.
I was in such a shop today, and I should have just left when I figured out that they all they carried was generic. Because as it turned out, they listened to absolutely nothing I requested when I dropped off a saw - which was pretty simple - call me when you do the diagnosis, and find out when your next parts order is due in.
I have to wonder if such shops do this deliberately, so their customers wear out their equipment faster?
I think after my latest adventure with such a shop, I will just walk out before I hire them to help me with something with my saws. It seems like a pretty good key indicator of their level of service and expertise.
