Next time buy your appliances from a store that sells nothing but
appliances! You will find the service is better and the prices are the
same!

Right. Think about how Home Depot works. They sell the appliances and
service contracts. Then they get a bunch of local repair shops under
contract to supply the service. But this is just what the local shops do
anyway. HD has the volume-price advantage and makes a bigger profit,
however.
