Let's get back on track shall we- the question is- when a dealer carries more than 1 brand ( not connected ) as in my area a dealer carries Linde, Cat, Clark, just to name a few- what have been your experiences with this new type of dealer

The dealer seems (IMHO) to have 1 guy per brand. When I call to get a Clark brain reflashed- I can either wait for the Clark guy or take the Cat guy. (These were their words). When ordering parts, I can either have the distributor in stock for the Cat that's 750.00, or wait & order in the Clark dist for 280.00. Just wondering if anyone else has had this type of experience.
