My local Stihl Dealer[if you can call it a Dealer] is a Do It Best hardware store, and they do have one decent mechanic there. However, I get phone calls from them from time to time asking how to fix certain models of Stihl saws, usually the older ) series since they know that I used to manage a Stihl dealership years ago. My main gripe is that there is never anyone there who can look up /order parts. Numerous times, I have had to go down to their store and look up my parts because they couldn't find or understand what I needed. All of us dealers knew what would happen when Stihl decided to put their product into hardware stores and it came true. I could carry on for a long time on this topic but don't want to bore everyone, Lol.
