But how can you justify damning all dealers due to on that is incompetent?
I read the topic, I posted in the topic, and I hope his complaints to Husq does clip that dealers wings and adjusts his attitude.

I believe the dealer is the best.

For me its simple. I can choose both. Reason being is that my Cub Cadet dealer (nearest mower dealer) is also the repair shop that my BBS uses. But since I'm just a tad bias towards Cubs, I just might use the dealer for both my personal and work mowers.

The dealer is the way to go. The BBSs are making good brands look bad. The BBSs are like a drug to the manufacturers, they like the big volume sales that the BBS have, but to many people get mad at the brand because the BBS can't or don't care about them after the sale. The good dealer wants to make you happy after the sale. This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to make anyone mad.

BBS can ruin a manufacturers reputation, simply by selling a good brand name, only to not support it after the sale and any problems that should arise tarnish the brand not the BBS name. So many times I have heard people complaining about a certain brand that a they purchased from the BBS and no mention that the store had no competent service department just minimum wagers messing up otherwise good machinery.

Fostering a relationship with a local dealer is worth much more than whatever difference there may be in price at a BBS.
