Sorry, hit the thanks by mistake.
I have used Stihl saws and other equipment all my life. It seems they have a bigger presence in the area these days as Aubuchon and MB tractor have taken on the line. More shops selling them the better service you’re likely to get although any small engine person can work on them. Usually it’s a carb adjustment that needs to be made if they bog at all. Chain sharpening is easy if you buy the right tool for it.
Others will have their favorites as well but I go with Stihl.
Another tip...go with the biggest saw you can handle as it will handle big or small jobs. A small saw will struggle with a bigger job.
