After calling around you find that there are two places that you can get the car and both of them are within your price range. The first place is a car dealership with an on site garage to handle maintenance. The second place is a car dealership who also has an on site garage to handle maintenance.

Where are you more likely to buy your car from, the dealership that only has one focus or the dealership with several focuses?

It can be tempting to want to showcase your abilities in various aspects of the law. Don't succumb to that temptation.
