Turbo Doo Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I almost sold everything driving up to the NCDN in the pouring rain. Then we changed rooms to Kap, and once in Moonbeam, I was back on the sledding bandwagon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now snowing, and more forecast for tonight, and cooler temps for tomorrow and further on. Cochranes still warm tomorrow. I did not want to believe it, but driving thru, I'm glad I drove another hour. I will not ride further east past Moonbeam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T bird Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 However!.. myself, I’m used to subpar conditions coming from the far south!!.... that being said I’m sure everything up there looks much more enticing than what I’ve rode in the past this year!

Turbo Doo Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Things are not perfect in Kap. But it's alot better then east of here. And forecast is better. Snow depth is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my dealer said he has lost a lot of customers to them this year over price. They are doing business as usual Good value on trades with a fair discount on the MSRP have been doing that since I have known them 20 years now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found him by luck, and always a pleasure to deal with and great pricing for both trade and new. Could go a couple years without seeming him, and he would still know you by name. BRP forced his hand to upgrade (spend lots of money might never recover) or lose his franchise. He didn't upgrade. Too bad, for all involved really.

Applies to sales, service and parts. Energy Powersports in Oakville are a relatively new dealership in Oakville that have been good for me with parts, and they are much closer. If Skidoo ever builds another machine that I want, I will check out Energy's sales philosophy, but I suspect they might not want to match Lockharts price, particularly if I have a trade-in.

Energy is a complete joke. I have been in there 10 times. They talked to me twice and both times only when i ordered parts. The last time I went there bought a brand new skidoo suit which was absolute shite. They wouldnt even return my call. I had to explain to the sales manager how to conduct business since I have 4 BRP products (well 3 now)in my garage and that when we are talking a 700 dollar suit versus a 20k sled it doesnt make sense not to call me back. They will never get another dime out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like their service and they setup sled well and do a proper pdi. 900 blew an ignition coil up north. When I got it back home doug find code and took part off on crashed sled with less miles then ours to get is back up and running. Part was back ordered from doo for about two weeks.
