I worked in a manufacturing plant that was formerly ATI Tools, which started out in Los Angeles in 1937, moved to Escondido in the 1970s, and was bought by Snap-on in the late 1980s. We had no connection with the mobile dealers, and our only contact with the distribution center was when it was closing and a couple of us were sent to scavenge some file cabinets and such.
