I have a mom and pop shop 9 miles from me, I buy 1-2 kits each time and a few bottles of paint, some aftermarket parts when I go there. I have another shop... one of the chains 25miles from me and I have yet to step in the door ..Word is rude customer service.
I have a mom and pop shop in TN I buy from, which I am due for some buys, and I buy from 3 when I visit Las Vegas, spending 40-250 per shop.
I am a huge fan of supporting my mom and pop shops.
