My 2 Year Old $2500 Compressor Just Died

Sounds about right. I've never, ever understood why people cannot just step up and "goodwill" warranty something like this. You know DAMN WELL they make WAY more than enough profit to absorb it. All this "let me contact my supplier" bullshit is just that. Bullshit. You bought it from THEM, not their supplier. To keep a customer happy that's done a lot of business, they should just make it good and eat it. It's not good business otherwise.
Unfortunately it seems like those days are long gone.
