I've had pretty good luck with small mom and pop saw shops over the years, the trouble is finding them. And usually the good stihl shops were old saw shops before they became dealers.
Don't know how close you live to the NH border, but there is a good saw shop in Derry (East Derry, on the Hampstead side of town), NH called Eddie's Saw Service. It's actually a saw shop (Stihl dealer) with small engine repair, not an OPE. He' the only guy in the area that I care to do business with and I've been 'round with a few of them. Drop me a PM if you want the physical address.My local shop sucks too. Sadly I bought 2 saws and a blower before I figured that out. He's 5 minutes from my house which makes it even more painful.
The gas cap on my blower went (yea I know, damn flippy caps) and I called him about it "Bring the whole blower in, not just the cap. If it's not a recall they're under $10". Really? The two other shops I called said it's under $5 and they'd replace it for free anyway even though I didn't buy it there. Oh yea since it was a recall why the hell didn't you call me?!?
A friend bought a Honda generator there, he sold her two transfer switches, one for the panel and a small one for the furnace. Then he wouldn't take back the unnecessary small furnace switch.
He didn't call me before he did an expensive repair on my snowblower.
Since I'm in northeast mass there are several other stihl dealers within 30 minutes of me, that guy isn't getting another penny from me.
That's not really a step up... but there is less traffic! :hmm3grin2orange:We're fixin to move south soon. Probly NC.
Not so sure that I agree with that, northeast is going to the dogs in my opinion and you won't find anybody more yankee than me. If my work situation keeps going the way it's going (due to the dogs and I think you know what I mean) I may very well wind up in NC or VA. I'm not hijacking this thread; I promise!That's not really a step up... but there is less traffic! :hmm3grin2orange:
