For years we have used GM Goodwrench oil. Since the beginning of time the oil supplier to this dealership has always "loaned" equipment and maintained it. Now it seems the supplier doesn't want to do this anymore. Of course they are the only supplier of this oil within our state. GM has programs to purchase equipment but of course our oil cost increases $.20 - $.40 per gallon or more.
To be fair the oil supplier does have a program that offers $.05 per gallon toward repair. Being a small dealer where the newest equipment is 11 1/2 years old that doesn't cover the potential expense.
What do you have?
Do you own your equipment? or loan?
Who pays to repair it?
