Depending on what kind of parts and service you require. You might want to try one of the independent garages in your area for repairs that you don't do yourself. For parts, have you talked with your local auto parts store or your nearest NAPA Auto Parts Store? When I worked in the garages, we got most of our engine parts, seals, and bearings from the NAPA Store. When I am home on leave, there is an auto parts store in the small town near home. Most of the time I will either stop in or call them to see if they have on hand what I am looking for. It amazes me the stock of parts he has for agriculture applications. (He had a carb kit in stock for a tractor that the nearest dealer was going to have to order), they are also one of the best sources for filters. LOL, Louis told me that they aren't a farm equipment dealer or ag parts supplier, but try to have a small stock of what a lot of the local customers need to keep them going. He also told me that they don't get rich and sometimes don't break even by stocking these parts, but the fact that they keep their customers running and that the customers keep coming back is what counts.

later days mate,
