for less?


Because the repair is quicker/cheaper in many cases. No one can
afford to stock sufficient inventory of obscure parts to make them
instantly available, especially when the new part may cost thousands
of dollars or be back ordered. However, a small shop like Tim's,
dedicated to customer service, can offer same day or over night
service in many cases. That's worth a lot to a guy with several
thousand acres of corn or wheat to harvest before he misses the
weather window.


You do know you are dealing with either JPS, or Harry/Plum right? These
two never will understand that type of work, both are pencil pushers at
best, never had to wait for a part or beat the weather...
