My 12 year old Komfort TT ( ordered new ) has never been in for warranty work .
When I ordered it I sent the specifications for the Request For Quote to the Eugene, Salem , Portland , Walla Walla , Boise and hometown Bend dealers .
the Bend dealer matched the lowest quote for the exact same specification trailer .
I got a lower price than any that were offered at the multiple RV shows we attended the year prior .
Regarding tire stores going out of business they have more to fear from the consolidation going on in the industry .
I live in Bend Oregon, the world headquarters for the Les Schwab Tire company .
Their growth is still happening despite the addition of America's Tire and Costco in their backyard .
Les has mostly Asian wheels and tires , does not have low prices , but succeeds on having the Best Service I have seen from any auto supplier .
Most civilians will not consider anything but "Schwabbies " .
