I live in the N.E. corner of Illinois. I have a good buddy that has a fairly large OPE store/repair center, about a half million in sales a year. He carries many lines but, the only saws he carries are Echo since he has such success with the rest of the line. Mostly because of numerous landscape businesses in our area. We have many tree service operations also, especially along Lake Michigan. However, they of coarse use the local Stihl and Husqvarna dealers. I have him convinced to take on Dolmar since the other support in this area well, stinks! Even if he wasn't a friend I'd still have to say a more fair, honest and hard working business owner would be hard to find in this neck of the woods. I would gladly post his store name and number if it was allowed but, I'm not sure if the rules here permit that. Moderators, please advise me of the proper channel to pursue this. I'm sure anyone interested in Dolmar, in the N.E. corner of Illinois just west of the lake and just south of the Wisconsin border couldn't be happier after dealing with him. Please advise,Jay.
