I have ALWAYS supported independent shops whether for my 2 BMW's, 3 MB's, or 2 P-cars. I think the dealers feel they have a captivated audience from buyers who buy to drive but who don't really get involved with their cars the way local club owners do. Independent shops who are in business for the long haul typically take care of their customers. Although some dealers do a good job and support local clubs, not all do and I really thing you take a big risk in going to them. My 2cents.
