You got that right, Mike. Dealers are interested in having customers bring their stuff back every time they need simple maintenance so they can make some easy money and the manufacturers are interested in helping their dealers toward that goal and keeping them happy... or so it would seem to the untutored.

Speaking of which... You guys who are completely reliant on the pro shop to keep your gear working? It's time to get that stuff to the shop and fixed up. RIGHT NOW. If you wait another month, you might not have it back by opening day.
