Thread: Considering a new Stihl chansaw

The thing none of these Stihl vs Husky or Tikka vs Remington threads talks about is after sales service...

Chainsaws need consumables. Talk to the people at your local Stihl and Husky dealers about servicing costs, costs for consumable items etc.

For me it was an easy choice. The guys at Stihl were like the sales people at Gun City - clueless. The guy who owns the Stihl franchise here is a shark, he would charge you full service cost just to look at a saw, long turnaround times, they don't like ordering parts if you want to fix it yourself etc. The Husky dealer is a completely different story.
