Yes I would definitely recommend a competitor.  In our area, there are only a few businesses like mine and over the years, I have had the great opportunity of working with several in the area who I know would give my customers the same great service that I am proud of offering to my customers.  One in particular has been in the same business as I have been for almost as long as I have been (40 years).  If I can not accommodate my customer, I always refer them to my friend and he does the same for me.  We have worked together to make sure our customers have the best experience they can have and feel like they have been treated with respect, honesty and that very experience will always come back to you.  Great question!
