I'd say its a perfectly reasonable sentiment.

Dealers represent the brands they sell. If they're willing to shaft customers and make your life difficult for having the audacity to spend money at their shop, then the brand they sell isn't trying hard enough to discourage that kind of behavior (worse yet they do plenty to encourage it with the way some of them treat the dealers), and it taints the customers view of the dealer and the products they sell.

E: I guess I'd say that my opinion on it is mostly limited to single-brand dealers. Plenty of dealers/mechanic shops are also just bad aside from the brands they sell, but that image still reflects back on the product. ("Oh I'll never buy another X again because the only dealer in town is garbage and I dont want to go there, so I'll buy Y instead")
