I don't patronize many shops, but I have a couple to use for help or if I lack a special tool. I have several cycling friends that are better at wrenching than me and they assist often.

When working on a vintage French bike without the unique tools, my closest LBS pulled the crank for NO CHARGE. Amazon, ebay, the UK online businesses can never do that. I always return the favor with giving them some of my cycling dollars and a positive review to other cyclists.
