 I agree.  The bike shop I go to doesn't have the best prices.  They're a small chain with three stores in the area.  Locally owned, they're in tough competition with a huge super mega-store that's a nationwide chain with huge stock and a snazzy-looking service desk.  
At the end of the day, though, my little shop, although the bikes cost a little more, but they give you more for the money.  When you buy from them, you get lifetime free labor and discounts on all parts and accessories.  They're also a little easier to convince into giving you emergency service with the help of a little bit of beer ;)
