Well, its that time again. A friend of mine is looking for a new sled. He is in the process of relocating to south east BC.

I don't know for sure, but he seems on the fence on what brand. I'm guessing that dealer support is more important then frills and gimmicks offered by OEM.

Anyway, if a triangle was drawn between Cranbrook, Lethbridge, and Calgary- my friend is curious to hear which is the best dealership, and why.

Thanks in advance,
Asking for a friend.

Im still good with Banner in Golden. Was worried when they took over Motor Tech, but they have been pretty stand up to me. Tim who was a long time mechanic is now the Manager. Good stand up guy.

How weaks that sauce. Price goes up quality an dependability nowhere to be found. Big 3 falling flat on their faces. Alpha tunnel an mono skid major issues. Poo oil delivery an glue not holding up lol. Doo let’s hope the fixes work for the belt wear only been like 3 yrs an don’t look at a tree or a rock the thing will shed parts like a smash up derby car.

if your wanting to buy a Polaris there is a great dealer in Cranbrook All season Motorsports. Darren is the owner. They also sell Artic Cats. Another Polaris dealer is in Nelson(Main jet)

Troy, I just got back from Cochrane and you know how I feel about Bow Ridge. There are some "given up" snow checks, quite a few SP's, and some low mileage rentals. Most of them are 2019's. Prices are great and service is top notch. Give snopro a call (you have his number) and make a deal.

Rhodesie knows his stuff and if he talks about stand-up dealers in the areas you mention, believe him!

He's on my list actually, very near the top.

But isn't Cochrane a little far to drive for all those blown belts...:peep:

Lol only took 3 yrs. Rene an Rob blew through 30 last season. Guess they they finally figured out weights an ramps in the primary. Let’s see how that tri mount for the motor holds up. Can’t take a beating like their predecessors.

The big 3 have all firmly fallen on their faces this yr. Doo no strength. Cats no strength tunnel integrity problems bolts coming out mono rail non replaceable this season cause back to drawing board. Poo oil delivery problems glue not holding. Treg 872 for the T3 next season lmfao.

Wow, do we need snow or what.
The belt comment was a joke. I gernade a belt every couple hundred miles on my pro. Doesn't really bother me...

For all the people who bitch about the 'reliability' of these new sleds, obviously have no experience with the old ones. Some of the fondest memories I have as a kid was fighting with some of the old garbage. You didn't drive farther from the truck or house then you were willing to walk, because it was inevitable that it would happen.

On the flip side, anyone who can get more then a season of riding on a belt likely isn't useing the rest of the machine to it's fullest IMO.

This post was a question about dealerships, not brands or machines. Thanks though :cool::beer:
