It IS a "customer service issue". Sure, not a big one, but one that should be reviewed by GS to make things go smoother in the future.
I learned a long time ago a firm unequivical "NO" is often the best answer. We quit things like recommending services, restaurants and the like years ago. Too often any problems with those services somehow became our problems.
There is a much better then zero chance that Good Sam dodged a bullet by not finding a repair person. If the repair was deemed by the customer to be too expensive, the parts needed were out of stock or the problem couldn't be fixed by that service provider we would likely be seeing a thread reflecting how Good Sam was responsible. Much better to provide your core services to the best of your ability and get out of the way of everything else.
