Default Help me choose the right dealer

So I'm planning to order a '13 when the banks open in June and I've been trying to decide which of the four Jeep dealers here to place the order with. I've read all the reviews I can find on each one which helped narrow it down some but now I'm trying to decide between one that is farther away and less convenient to visit if I need to take it in OR one that is very close to my work BUT only recently started selling Jeeps.

My thinking is that I'm a little concerned about choosing a dealer that is new to Jeeps and may not have a Jeep friendly service dept...in other words, may try to void the warranty for things like mods and offroading. A dealer that has been selling and fixing Jeeps for a long time would probably know Jeeps and Jeep owners a lot better and not hassle me.

What do you guys think? Also, for warranty work do you have to take it to the dealer where you bought it or not? Do most of you guys stick with the dealer where you bought it?

I say go to all of them and see which one gives you the best deal on one and go with that one. You can always go to the closest dealership and say hey this dealership is offering me this, if you beat it ill go with you. As for warranty work you can bring your Jeep to any Jeep dealership to get the work done. You can also ask them how they feel about aftermarket upgrades and see if they will void your warranty.

You'd probably be better off posting this is your staging area's section. Can find some folks that actually have experience with the various dealerships.

What's your location? That would probably be a great help. Tread lightly or an affiliate program for 1% below invoice is your best net on getting a deal.

I'm in Austin, TX. I was just wondering generally what the opinion was on a dealer that has just started selling Jeeps.
