[AT] best parts counter service

[charlie hill]

John,  Down this way everything is Deere except for a few die hard IH guys. 
One outfit owns every Deere dealership from VA to SC east of I-95.   I don't 
have any reason to deal with them but the few times I have stopped in the 
local shop here they have been very helpful.

Just curious as to what brand of equipment you guys are finding has the best 
service at the parts counter. From what I am finding it is definitely Deere. 
Our local dealer is tied in with 7 or 8 more so if parts aren't in stock, 
they can sometimes have them delivered from another store the same day. Also 
getting parts from a distribution center is generally 1 day and doesn't cost 
much--even for Saturday delivery. I had to order some stuff from AGCO this 
week and since it was shipped direct from the distribution center I got hit 
with a $25 shipping fee on a 2lb package. Case-IH is ok, dealer seems to 
have to order too much stuff.

Your thoughts?
