I think the point is that we all, as consumers, end up paying for inefficiencies like this.

The truck-from-Maine-to-Wolfeboro is just an example of big business not always paying attention to details. (LOL...Occupy Wolfeboro or Waterboro!)
The reason why a guy had to come from Maine to do Subaru roadside service is that it was the closest shop that had a contract with Subaru. I am sure in a more populated area there would have been a closer repair shop, but that's just one of those things about living here. Now that I know the closest Subaru roadside assistance is in Waterboro, Maine, I'm looking into other options. No big deal. I don't fault Subaru either.
