Dealership parts at a discount

[Bruce Bell]

They, Carlsen, still do a fair job. I just ordered a lower IC hose for
the 10v 200 tq from them at a very significant discount compared to
local dealers. Sorry I don't remember the name of the person who waited
on me...he was very helpful and the service was great.

Some dealers would rather sell ten of something at a $10 profit, while
others would rather sell four at a $25 profit.  The latter think they're
getting a bigger bang for their investment buck.  

BTW, Linda no longer is at Carlsen (nor is her sidekick Didi), and the
current parts staff is much less friendly to deal with.
