heated storage?So after 3 more days out riding, we get down and my sled is pretty much an ice cube, and who rolls in to the parking lot but good ol Tex78 in the MPM sled hauler to pick up one rental(a black 175 850 with SHOT)
...Anyway I ask him to take my sled in for the night and thaw it out (for a ridiculously low cost), also totally thinking to leave it with them for a crazy inexpensive storage cost. Check them out for details. Now I dont have to drag my sled out and back home anymore, perfect!
heated storage?
Sweet..usually thawing on isn't an issue here.I doubt it is but its getting thawed out first. I dont have a garage so it works for today. The other deal is they deliver your sled to the parking lot and will pick it up too! I’m going in to iron it out tomorrow
Hey no problem dude, you should have seen the guys at work faces when I came back with 2So after 3 more days out riding, we get down and my sled is pretty much an ice cube, and who rolls in to the parking lot but good ol Tex78 in the MPM sled hauler to pick up one rental(a black 175 850 with SHOT)

Pay a spare sled off quickly....... I doubt that 80% of sledders can pay off their primary sled quickly.Pay a spare sled off quickly, Our local gm dealer tried 125/hr last year, said shop wEnt dead.. back to 110
we have many a mechanic that work for 90/hr and drive to job site with service truck.. and have heavy ticket.. not a Rv ticket
Funny you say that, the g.m dealer in Salmon Arm is 130 a hr too, so guess it's the norm then eh FredPay a spare sled off quickly, Our local gm dealer tried 125/hr last year, said shop wEnt dead.. back to 110

I agree, fix it or rent and pay to fix it when ya get home ( which probably will cost way more)Pay a spare sled off quickly....... I doubt that 80% of sledders can pay off their primary sled quickly.
I do understand the point you are making.
But if I'm in Sic Wed to Wed and my only sled goes down on a Saturday, the balance of my week is shot. Or I pay a stupid amount of cash for a rental for 3 days.
I would have a hard time to believe that any of your mobile mechanics, can go to their open shop on a Sunday and grab the parts they need.
None the less, I would pay 130/hr for my sled to be fixed for me on a Sat/Sun and riding Monday.

Yes you can get decent sleds for under 5 grand and I never thought of that.Buy buy some pretty decent sleds under 5 grand trashey and you have every part you need, plus a spare for those days your down..
how many parts they going to get on the weekend, each there own..
I could be wrong, but I don't think Fred is bitching about a Sunday when OT is the norm. It would be the Monday - Friday.Pay a spare sled off quickly....... I doubt that 80% of sledders can pay off their primary sled quickly.

Good point, thank youI could be wrong, but I don't think Fred is bitching about a Sunday when OT is the norm. It would be the Monday - Friday.
Also, comparing a GM dealer's overhead costs to a non-oem sled dealer's is not really apples to apples.
Just curious...What is the shop rate at a banner, motertech, bow cycle, Bowridge, Nuway shop for example.I could be wrong, but I don't think Fred is bitching about a Sunday when OT is the norm. It would be the Monday - Friday.
