I'm pretty sure the shops in my burg, orange county CA, will only work on brands they sell (maybe specific bikes they have sold). Fortunately I can handle my (and wife's) DIY(s) and the only OEM had one easily-diagnosed and repaired problem. If I had a bike shop there's no way I would consider repairing any brand I didn't sell.
