Does it really matter when the brand and model you want only has one dealer within 400 miles according to their dealer locator and they closed 3 years ago?
The problem is the manufacturer, not the dealer. They may as well be insurance companies the way they try to sidestep paying for anything and then cheating the repair shop if they are found at fault.
We bought our first new TT from a dealer 2000 miles away. The manufacturer Forest River, found us 3 local dealers willing to do the warranty work. One didn't even sell any Forest River products. We also could have used independent RV shops or mobile RV tech. We just had to get pre-approval from FR and be willing to be reimbursed.
So, for me, buying local just for service, is not a factor, unless the price is good.
