I guess I have a different philosophy on this issue. I buy locally even though I might be paying a little more because I want my local shop to be there when I need repairs, advice, or parts NOW. The obvious followup question is how much of a premium are you willing to pay to give the business to a local shop? I don't have a set amount. I guess I figure if a business wants to stay in business they are going to keep their prices within reason. Maybe I'm too trusting. On the other hand if I find out I'm getting ripped off I take my business to a different local shop.
