Last place I'd ever spend my money....not good experiances in that building.

All my AC stuff came from Checker'd Flag Sports in Hanna. I've heard Ralph's has decent pricing as well...

The prices at RD powersports are okay somewhat, but the parts people are not very helpful, and the girl they have working there just plain doesn't give a crap. Check out eckville, we don't own a polaris but have shopped there many times, excellent service and prices!

I only deal with Shawn!!! He almost can remember all my toys and knows his $hit! give him a shot the decide. And if you are around rocky stop in at the cat dealer there(403-846-0009). Blair is somewhat new at a few things but is learning at leaps and bounds! He is a spin off of Ralphs out of Calgary and Sundre.

Agreed! Shawn is the man. He knows more about anything than anybody else there or anywhere! And that blonde b$tch can go stuff herself! She doesnt have a clue dont deal with her. Just wait and deal with Shawn he is honestly the very best at what he does!

I do not shop at red deer powersports anymore...the prices for most of the AC stuff was pretty good. But the EBC brakes were out to lunch big time, but as I said the AC parts were good enough to NOT make me want to have it shipped from somewhere else. I will agree that Shawn is the only one to deal with in parts, I have had a run in with the woman your all talking about....OOOYYYYY!!

As for the sales team for buying a machine, I didn't like any of them...Before I bought my old '99 I considered buying a new one. To test the waters simply asked what the best price was on a new year old model 500 4by (I was standing beside it, and pointing), was bluntly told by a younger guy "the price on the tag"! I had a few colourful words come to mind but I just said "ok I'll try somewhere else then", and the old grouch standing beside the younger guy responded with "yeah whatever". And have heard the same story from some other friends too...Just best I think if no one shops there! JMHO

The ONLY reason I have ever bought anything from there was because my cousin is a mechanic there. And I didnt know anything about the dealer.

Easily worst sales staff I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Turple Brothers are awesome an havent dealt with precision(kawi just doesn't break down :D )

There isn't a good dealership in red deer. If your looking for parts or maintiance call retro cycle. Been dealing with them since they opened. Good people to deal with

i use turples alot, price is relavent, a 2 hr drive to olds costs, feel prices are about the same as trackside, sometimes more at trackside, but if ya want to get up and running i'll make the trip. besides i get % off at turples.

but for you in alhambra, buck lake bob is just as close as turples or olds, so it may not matter much.
