McDonald's should cook your black anus burger. Cooking it really really slow at a labor rate of $102.00 per hour, that's lot of Filet-O- Fishes.

My dealer in Ohio has installed many parts that I bought and sent him to install and still gave me a discount on labor. They have been great and still make money off me. Both parties can be happy in some cases. Too bad that's not the norm though.

That's why you would go out of business if you had one. This dealer had 2 locations and now they just have one. #justsaying lol

Have any of the folks bitching' about a "stealership" brought a dozen doughnuts by the service dept. on a Saturday morning; or dropped off a couple a twelve pack or two cold beer on a hot Friday afternoon; or dropped off a couple gallons of chili in the cold months at lunchtime.
The folks that complain are basically strangers to everyone at the dealership except their sales person.
Folks post here about helmet laws and noise ordinances bitchin about freedom. How about the freedom of a business owner to decide how they do business. Believe it or not, there are businesses who don't want your business. Anyone who brings a tire into a dealership for mounting or installation is probably someone who will rarely buy parts at the store or support them?
Finally, the "stealership" word is thrown around as if it gets the user some type of forum cred on HDF. It should be reserved for those who charge for work not performed or parts sold that weren't as intended.
No intention to offend anyone. Enjoy your ride and stay safe.
