Savage owners: What do you like and/or dislike about the LHS's in your area? Where are they falling short or where are they shining??

I gotta say I'm lucky for the most part. The lhs close to my work has alot of what one would consider race parts (tires/wheels, bodies, paint, bug/trugg parts etc) but very little savage parts if any. Except for the interchangeable Hellfire parts.
Now the lhs by my work is basically the opposite, plenty of 'bash' parts. I've been going there for about 12yrs now and know the newest owner pretty well (he mans the register sometimes and knows a good deal). Well enough to get big stuff for playa pricing (rtr's, bl combos etc). I try not to bug him for playa pricing on small stuff, read: not to wear it out.

the two closest shops i have one is 30 minutes away and the other is 45 to 50 minutes away depending on how fast I'm going, lol. the down side is they don't carry vary many HPI parts usually just a little tiny corner but most of stuff i break any way, lol. the upside is they are very knowlegable and know there stuff weather it be traxxas hpi what ever so thats good and they carry the fuel i use too even better cause the cost of having it shipped here DAMN, lmao. its about 28 bucks with tax for a gallon of byrons 20%.
That is cheap for Byrons 20%. In my area, it is about $35/gallon plus tax.
That's about how much I pay for byrons 30%. Last gal I bought was $26.99.
Ed, read above about the byrons. My lhs is Hobbytown. There is another on the other side of town 30-45 min drive dependin on time of day and traffic. And that's one way. If they (Hobbytown) has what I need in stock, I'll get it from them. If not, I always get parts online, mainly from eBay. The main thing I usually get from the hs is fuel and glow plugs.
LHS's will always have a purpose but anyone who has been in this hobby for any length of time whether on the surface or air side of it ends up getting most of their parts online.
I had almost the same ending to a conversation about turnigy lipos with one of the new employees at my lhs.
"You get what you pay for and come back after 10recharges to buy a real LiPo" Yeah ok kid its been over a year on this batch of lipos, stay in school and cut your hair.
We are all in the same Hobby wtf is the difference what truck we run.
