We bought our Can-Am from Louis Powersports about a year ago, and everyday i wish we DIDNT!! Let's start from the very beginning..
We dealt with two different salesman on the phone who both swore they were giving us their hands down best price available, even though one was several thousand dollars higher than the other, both CLAIMED to be the sales manager, which we later found out was a lie. When we finally agreed on a price and drove 4 hours there, they failed to mention that they close early on saturdays, so they rushed us through the buying process. The salesman conned us into buying an extended warranty, which they claimed was the best warranty for can-ams out there, and it would cover bumper to bumper. What they failed to mention was that it was a MANUFACTURER DEFECT WARRANTY- which in lamens terms means NOTHING WILL BE COVERED, even if it never gets ridden and you set it on a big golden throne. Now, the warranty online states that it's manufacturer defect, BUT the paper warranty states that several things will be covered under the discretion of Can-Am. It is up to the dealer to take pictures of the broken parts, file a claim, and then send in their reccomendation to can-am to have these parts fixed. We know FOR A FACT that these dealerships can get these parts covered because we've had several friends have theirs covered with no issue, and they take FAR less care of their bikes than we do.
Anyway, they rushed us into signing all the papers for the maverick and the warranty, did not give us any paperwork, because they said it all comes in the mail, which NEVER CAME. We load the bike and head home. 30 minutes into the drive and the side piece covering the vent for the air box BLOWS OFF THE BIKE. When we got home, we called and let them know, they said they'd send us the part, and guess what?? IT NEVER CAME. we must have called 5 times requesting it, then they tried to make us pay for it and said they never offered it to us for free.
NEXT, IS THE BEST PART OF THIS ENTIRE REVIEW!!..
Three months ago, we noticed a few things wrong with the maverick, regarding the motor, and the driving rack, so we took it in for warranty work to a place near us. after a month of sitting there, they called and let us know that no work was done to the bike because after requesting info for 4 weeks, they discovered that there was no warranty on the bike at all. SO THE THOUSAND DOLLAR WARRANTY WE PURCHASED THE DAY OF BUYING THE MAVERICK WAS NEVER ACTIVATED!?? thats right. After we called BRP, they informed us that they never received our warranty paperwork, then we called Louis Powersports, and they ADMITTED to never have processed our paperwork. They did not do a SINGLE thing to try and make that right, they wouldnt offer us a refund on the warranty that we paid for and never even had on our bike, wouldnt even listen to what we had to say. After battling this for a week, we finally were able to reach a guy who once again, claimed to be the sales manager, and he said that he was sorry about all the trouble, and asked us to bring the bike back to the dealership and they would have the work done in a day or two. He SWORE to us and gave us his WORD that if can-am would not cover the parts, that they would take care of it and make sure everything was fixed, in order to make ammends for all of their mistakes.so once again, we drive 4 HOURS there and spend 150 dollars in diesel, we walk in, give them our name and tell them what we're there for and the guy looks us in the eyes and says "its gonna be at least a month before we can look at your bike, and up to 2 months before motor work is done" we said "wait a minute, we JUST spoke with your sales manager, who told us to bring it here and they would make us top priority, and fix everything whether can-am covers it or not". He then proceeded to say we were lying and he knew the manager would NEVER say such a thing, then brushed us off and would not listen to ANYTHING we had to say. The only person to actually hear us out and be polite to us was Dan, who was a very nice guy, and attempted to make ammends with us. After speaking with him, we left still frustrated, but in a much better mood after at least one person heard what we had to say and was respectful towards us as PAYING CUSTOMERS.
Yesterday, someone posted on TEXAS ATV SCENE asking whereto buy a maverick. after several people said not go to to Louis Power Sports, my fiance gave them a review stating that the prices were great, but the salesmen were terrible. The man claiming to be the GENERAL MANAGER then proceeded to BASH US ON A PUBLIC FORUM. Stating that our bike was a (and i quote) "clapped out junked up lifted bike with at least 5k of damage".feel free to add me on fb and see pics of our "junk" bike. he insulted the SPONSORED ATV race group that we ride with because we rep their logo. He said many other insults. He insulted our intelligence, our integrity, and our honesty. See for yourself on TEXAS ATV SCENE on fb read more
