My O2 tester was damaged this spring, seems it just does not stand up to being driven over by a fully loaded 3/4 ton truck. Lesson learned, don't drive over your O2 tester OR don't drop the darn thing in the first place!
So I had to replace it.
Purchased a brand new Analox EII from Leisure Pro, and got it 2 days later here in Canada. It's not the only purchase I have made from LP, and every time I have made a purchase I have been completely satisfied.
That being said, last year I spent $6000.00 at my LDS. This year I have already spent $5000.00. Whereas LP last year received about $800.00 and this year so far it has been about $550.00.
So yes I support my LDS, but when they don't have what I want, I go to LP or elsewhere. However my LDS pricing and LP pricing is most often within 5% + or - from each other. So my dealing with LP is driven more from an availability standpoint rather than a pricing one.
A good LDS will realize that the market they are in is now global in nature, and will use every tool they have to make sure they are competitive. If they don't, they will not succeed in todays market place.
