I have also had one of our vehicles serviced at Laconia garage right across from Granite State glass in Laconia. He was also fair with prices and a pleasure to do business with.
Personality goes a long way at least for me, I’ve found that most of the dealerships in this area have lost touch with customer service.
But it was the same way when I was in big business in the semiconductor industry, the bigger a business gets the more your just a employee number and less of a person.
