I would suggest that the Kirkham's offer top shelf service for resale cars....as does my dealership for Superformance. Yes, I am often capable of answering the phone and sometimes I don't even drool or soil myself. The comment about "three to one" service/parts/help to sales inquiries was to illustrate that a larger portion of my business is support related as opposed to new chassis sales.

Supplying parts has become a big part of our operation. And often we will direct the customer to a generic local source for a common industry part. How much can I make on a $10 radiator hose? Rather than double the price because it is a "Superformance/Cobra/Kirkham/Backdraft" part we just give the customer a part number and send them to the local NAPA/CARQUEST, etc.
