Create a Dealer Rating System

Good idea. 

No reason that we couldn't. My suggestion would be that each who has a story to share should send a short paragraph describing their good or bad experience with some background on the event. We could then build a simple graph which would be delineated by state or province and then the dealers name. Should be relatively easy to do and I think would be very helpful to us all. Either owners needing service in a distant location or a new potential buyer looking for an honest dealer.

I put this to all of us on the forum.  Since we have all dealt with dealers either purchasing or servicing our Rpods why don't we create a topic that lists our experiences, good or bad.  The responses could be grouped by state and then dealer.  Seems that Yelp has been doing this for years in rating restaurants.  Any new purchaser could look up the particular dealer they are working with and get a real heads up on what others have experienced.  Could make some "bad actor" dealers shape up if enough campers respond.  I think it would be extremely helpful to all.  Naming names would certainly go a long way in attracting the attention of dealers who continue to "prey" on us.  I know some have posted a dismal account of service from a particular dealer but gets lost in the rest of the posts.  If a chart of some type could be created whereby a potential buyer or someone who needs service could post their experiences, I for one would find it very helpful.  Once we are on the road and away from our local dealer, and requiring service, we are lost in the woods about finding a competent, honest service provider.  I think there is a vast amount of experiences that could be posted that would be most helpful.  My two cents.
