Dealers Dealers everywhere......who's the fairest of them all.

I also use a family-run Dealership:
Klinger Powersports
Walton, NY

Their service department has technicians that have been to BRP for training, and I've NEVER had any trouble with any service work that they've done!
I probably pay more for my bikes than the astute bargain hunters in here: it's the "peace of mind", that I'm paying for.

Klinger's???

Does the service tech look like this?

From Alaska:

When the saga started (here 2008), there was only one dealer. A year or so later there were three places to buy. One in Anchorage, one in Eagle River, and the place owned by ER dealer in Wasilla. Three dealers within 25 miles.

Since I lived in ER, I made all my purchases there. The Anchorage dealer never got what service was about and is no longer in the mix. ER now is basically a servicing dealer and Wasilla is a selling dealer.

The service dept. has been up and down. It is currently up again. They keep my machines running so that is why I am still an owner. I pick and choose my battles these days. Nearest "other" dealer is now about 1500 miles away.

I have also considered service over price in making my purchases.

Kurtz Motorsports I Watsontown, PA
. We bought our first through a dealer in Wilkes-Barre and found the service department horrible. Tried doing the same recall twice. Claimed they had no record of it but we had our service record from their department. We searched and found Rod at Kurtz and he never been happier. He even helped us get the recall work on a 622 trailer we bought elsewhere.

What was the recall on the trailer for? I've never heard of that before.

I will say it again, Elk Grove Power Sports in Elk Grove, Ca. This is also a family run operation, and we as owners are are invited to be a part of that family. My wife and I are about to embark on an epic(for us anyway) journey from Northern California to Valcourt, over 6000 thousands when we are done. We just had both motorcycles in for Oil Change and safety inspection. The service department was great. They greet you with a smile, efficiently work on the machines, and then they clean the machines and send you on your way with a smile. We always have a hard time getting out of there because we have so many people there that want to say Hi and chat. This is a rare thing to find in any industry, and we are blessed to have them only a couple of miles down the road!

Thanks to:

Sabrina
Scott
Allen
Ryan
Jim
Marcus
Forrest
David
Ron
Larry
Buck
And many more!

Because of these great folks, we know that we have no mechanical worries as we travel to Valcourt. If you ryde a Spyder, or you think you might want to ryde a Spyder, do yourself a favor and visit these folks at Elk Grove Power Sports!

They refused to do warranty work on bike. They would Not let person talk to the Spyder Tech. They claimed since the LaMonster LED head lights and fog lights in, and also had a cig lighter connected to the aux user circut that it was Not a BRP approved install and therefore they would not help with the radio. That had issues before upgrades install.

In Chattanooga, Tennessee there is a Spyder dealer, Whites Cycle and Marine

• Been there 3 times, very friendly, willing to deal, no problem on a test ride. Does anyone know anything about them from experience. They claim that they have a certified BRP tech. I know that they sell a lot of Can Am ATV's.

Ride1 Power Sports, Springfield Oh. has a great tech named Steven. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The whole crew from service to sales is great to work with.

I think that peace of mind is and issue with going to a dealer but I also think customer loyalty is needed. If you find a good dealer it is important that we help that dealer stay in business, I know that sometimes people feel like the dealer charges to much and that may be right however I have seen dealerships drop product support because they don't get the trade in the door most I think try to offer a fair price but remember these guys have to pay for a whole lot of overhead if you have ever owned a business you know what I mean. I do some things myself and probably always will but I also make sure I throw some work to the dealer, I can change the fluids but then I have a mess and "HAZMAT" to dispose of the dealer already has the process for that so I defer to them. I support and think we should all to the extent possible support our dealers. I have a great dealer here Vey"s Motorsports and I want to keep him dealing.
