DOCDRS,
I do most of my own service. However, there are times when I NEED to work with a SC dealer for parts that can only be ordered through one of their dealer networks. Unfortunately you are at their mercy. I tried several times to order carpet, get quotes on accessories like a Jump Seat, ect... and never got return phone calls. When I finally got a hold of them they were totally disinterested in helping me. I thought WTF? Called a dealer 2 states away and had the product drop-shipped. Just lately I hounded them for a month to get info. on a trailer and inquire about a new boat. You'd think that would get a fire lit? Not even close.
"Service" means alot more than just maintenance work!!
They act like they don't want or need the business. So..........why put the effort in when there are plenty of other businesses that welcome a buyer. You shouldn't have to buy all your boats and parts out of Atlanta when you live in MT. I'm pretty loyal in my buying habits and takes alot to sour me but it's been done

I think I've tried to give them a fair shake and been disappointed far too many times.
