While we're complaining about John Deere dealers, last year I bought a new Poulan chain saw from our local Oersheln's store. After it ran long enough to be broken in, it needed the carb adjustment touched up. Naturally, it's one of those that takes a special tool.
Oersheln's told me the local John Deere dealer did their warranty work, so I figured that was a place to start. The clown that does their small engine work told me adjustments weren't warranted, and if I left the saw, it would be a $100 minimum charge. I told him I only paid $119 for the freakin' thing to start with and walked out.
I bought the tool on e-bay for $7 and did it myself. Plus I now have the tool that dealers say they can't sell or loan out.
That gave me an idea. I had a Homelite saw I'd given up on. It took a different special tool to adjust the carb, but I bought that tool from e-bay also and that's all the Homelite needed.
