There are some BIG reasons you should choose an independent, service dealership when buying a lawn mower or any outdoor power equipment.

Consider price, quality and real value.
      
Price is the total dollars you spend over the life of the product.
Quality is a combination of the workmanship and durability of the machine.
Value is the sum of all of the above plus the long-term service associated with having a reputable dealership to support you throughout the life of the machine.

Convenience seems to be the motivation most people have for buying from a large retail store. After all, they appear to have just about everything, right? What they do not have is knowledgeable trained sales or service personnel. They also have crowded parking lots, busy isles, high displays and no one nearby to assist you. Your local independent servicing dealer is probably more convenient than you may think. They will have quality equipment and helpful, knowledgeable personnel to help you.

Remember the time-proven standard: You get what you pay for. If you purchase your lawn mower or other power equipment from a large retailer you are not paying for service, parts inventory, specialized training or knowledge about suitability for a particular job. You are simply paying for a piece of equipment in a box that you must take home, assemble, service and adjust yourself (hopefully if all the parts are in the box) forever.

Even now, some of the large retail stores have begun to stock higher quality brand name equipment but offer only a few models that still require assembly.

One thing is certain no matter where you bought your machine: If it breaks down or needs adjustment you suddenly have a need for a servicing dealer.

Back to price. The next time you go shopping for a piece of outdoor power equipment, give one or two of your local servicing dealers a chance to show you why - even though their machine may seem more expensive at first - you will spend far less over time. Once you make the comparison, you will ultimately find that the dealer's machine will actually give you far more value in the long run.
