• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BRP Made Good

As some of you may recall I had a not so pleasant experience with Roadside Assistance last week (Detailed in a thread titled Bad Day for Big Red). BLUF after all the challenges with Roadside I found my own towing and paid out of pocket when it should have been cover under warranty.

So I kindly wrote to BRP Care and stated my displeasure as to how the events unfolded. I was not looking for anything other then to vent my frustrations and to let them know the process needs to be addressed and their customers need to be taken care of.

To my surprise I received an email response almost immediately stating they have received my email and someone would be contacting me. With in an hour I got another email asking for the VIN #. Then a short time later they emailed again asking for the dealer/service center the bike was at and a copy of my receipt.

A short time later I received an email offering me $250.00 in BRP credit. Although it is not cash I appreciate the gesture and sure I'll find away to use it. I was truly in impressed by how quickly they replied and addressed the issue.

Still waiting on word how Big Reds hospital stay in going, hope to find out today.

How did you contact them? Email? Snail mail? Would be good to know for future reference. Thanks.
 
A great gesture from BRP. Glad to see they are trying to be more pro-active when situations arise. :yes::yes:

I have always wondered how it would work here in Alaska. Say, the :spyder:breaks down somewhere around Barrow? The northernmost city in AK. Only about a thousand miles to the nearest dealer? I believe I would have to cut them a break in that situation. :roflblack::roflblack:

I can already hear them saying..."you want a tow truck to where???

It is a nice way to at least help out with the out of pocket cost. Hope they can work on the reason for it in the first place. They do come through from time to time and hope they continue to help us out....:clap:

Good for them ..............................AND on YOU for following up and letting us know the rest of the story. Many would not have done so. :thumbup:
 
BRP Response...

I have had my Spyder only a short time but had multiple SeaDoo's and BRP's response to inquiries was always quick, maybe not how I wanted but they did respond. I see their biggest challenge as the dealers.. to give credit where it's due..even within the dealers the response is variable. The response I rec'd from where I bought my bike put me in the negative but again it is variable. They, BRP will not know of problems without someone saying something..
