You should stick with the better dealership.  It is disheartening when
i go into some shops because i find that they are poorly stocked and
know less then i do about my bike.  No matter what bike you buy, it
will break some time and you will have to interface with the dealership
either through parts or service.  If you have to do it often then
having a poor dealer just increases the problem.  I do 99% of the work
on my bike but i want to feel totally confident when someone else does
the other 1% because it is usually precision work e.g., machining. You
didn't mention why you liked the Trek over the other bikes.  I would
pick performance over looks any day.
