can a .net site rank higher than a .com site?

I will try to make this quick. My dealership has a .net and a .com. We must carry a website from a specific company so we moved it to .net and put the content and host we want on .com. Now the company that provides our .net is trying to get us to drop the company that runs our .com and switch everything back to them. I told them the SEO with our .com is much better than can offer but if they get our .net site to rank higher in google search I would consider switching. Yesterday they told me that a .net site can never rank higher than a .com in organic search, is that true?
