It isn't just Honda Shops, the net has been killing small business for years, someday , there will be no brick and mortar stores, can't compete, their overhead won't allow the discount that can be available on a low overhead online store, You may never know a full service store again but ,hey ,you got the part cheap.
I don't mean to sound snotty, just as a matter of factly. We own 2 businesses, one's a store ,and between the net and Walmart type stores that sell Chinese made crap that people have accepted and made a new lower standard in the goods markets, it's really hurt the brick and mortar/Mom and Pop stores that hunt for a higher standard of product,offer services, and fair prices for the convenience of having what you need in stock ,in your area, even products that you didn't know you wanted until you could touch it, smell it, inspect the quality, buy it and bring it home with you. Doesn't matter what product you may be thinking about , it all works the same.
I have been interested by things on line, for this reason I don't have credit cards or a PayPal account, I try to get it locally, from a real store with real people trying to make an honest living, that offer products, ideas and service. If I can't get it locally ,I drive to where I can, and pay cash. When the stores are gone.... remember....you can't miss them if you didn't use them.
