sounds like they couldn't get parts to fix customers machines?
It sounds like BRP has been cutting off lots of dealers and just consolidating all the business into one shop for a major area. AKA Basecamp for greater Calgary area.

Snopro spoke loudly about the brp firing of Ecko Marine a year or so ago. I'm sure if he is in the know he'll share what he can
Not sure what the mob wants from snopro.
He does not make the calls on any of this and who really knows why a business does what it does.
Private businesses owe no one any explanations.

Some how we just find new depths to sink to around here.

Yeah it's real cool not having a dealer within 200km.

BRp probably wanted them to triple their sales, spend 2 million on a building upgrade, an carry 2 million in inventory.

Not Sure
BRP only wants big city dealers with fancy buildings. If you don't live nearby you need a garage full of alternate rides while they fix your sled. Buddies 2021 just spent a month at base camp to diagnose and replace an ignition coil and ecu

not implied like that at all, figured since he was a salesman at Bowridge he would have the intel?

Calgary is what… 1.4 million people? And there’s never been a decent dealer there….?

Near the end of the BowCycle days…
Buddy took his XP there 5-6 times to get fixed for the same issues (they couldn’t fix it)
The dealer finally took to the Golden dealer to get fixed…. AND THEN THEY CHARGED HIM THE FREIGHT TO GO OUT THERE AND BACK!!!!

Yep it’s sad that all the small brp dealers are being pushed out. I was a loyal customer of small brp dealer that closed and am not interested in dealing with big city dealers hours away so last purchase was a polaris after 7 years on doo. Dealer service means everything to me since all sleds are good nowadays!

Well boys sorry I missed this but was at the Flames game with my daughter tonight. Not sure I should say anything at this point as I did make a comment on Bowridges Facebook page and it was deleted so I’m thinking they need to get to the end of the month before saying maybe what they want to say. I’ll talk to the owner tomorrow when I grab my new heated goggles and see how much I can say. That’s all I got for you tonight.
