The trend of one dealer owning and operating ALL the dealerships within a certain geographic area is not in the consumer's favor.
There are several examples of that where I live. One company owns all the JD dealerships within 100 miles.
Another company owns all the Case dealerships in the same area. Still another is gearing towards owning all the Kubota dealerships.
You can't shop price at all. You can't go to another different place for service or repairs. Well, not without driving a 100 miles, that is.
The big manufacturers push that system on the dealers. It is simpler for the manufacturer's standpoint to only have to contend with one company in a large area, rather than have to deal with 10 companies who used to serve the area.
For my money, the dealership that stands alone, and isn't owned by a company that has 15 other locations in a protected area will get my business over the conglomerate system they have forced on us.
