Give the guy a break! For that amount of money, with no dealer close by, I would be tempted to travel too. Let's not bust his chops for it. My suggestion would be to try to establish a relationship with a dealer that is closest. Have the first service done there. That will tell you a lot about them...and will let them know you'd like to work with them. Tell them the truth...that you have no dealer near you and you are searching for one to rely on. You are not local to them, so they can't necessarily expect for you to have bought from them. Lots of dealers will do right by you. Give them a chance. And to those who thrive on sour candy...try some sugar, it might do you good.
