Extremely unscrupulous. Had a nightmare of mistruths dealt my way. Put a deposit on a used ATV, on the contingency of it being in solid fully operational function. They told me that they were having trouble getting it started, but had finally gotten it where it was running perfectly. They stated they had gone through the carburetor, rebuilt it, changed the oil and it was running flawlessly. Bold faced lie! / When it was delivered, the service guy spent 20 minutes trying to get it started to off load from the truck. Even after warming up, it would only run with the choke fully open. The sales manager Jason, gave me the old sales version of, "well, these older machines are finicky". The paper work sent was to have included a 30 day warranty. It mysteriously did NOT. I had the delivery guy call Jason to write that in before releasing payment. He reluctantly did. / Fast forward several days, and the machine was still ridiculously hard to start, and the oil they said was changed, was as black as coal. Had them pick it up to track down the difficult starting reason. Jason again tried to sell the "this is just the nature of older machines" line. I wouldn't buy it, as the choke had to be in full open position, even after warming up, to operate. After NOT working on it for 5 days after returning it ("gee, we've had a few guys out"), they finally looked into it. The verdict was a cracked carburetor! And it was supposedly operating "perfectly" before they delivered it??! Jason now stated that they would have to put a new carburetor on that would cost them $800, and he would be willing to send the machine back for the additional part and labor costs. He was going to tally up the additional total and get back to me. In the interim I found listings on Ebay Motors for BRAND NEW carburetors specific to that machine (Yamaha Grizzly 600) for between $65 and $99! I called back and told him my preference was to have MY machine ( Bill of Sale was in my possession, and full payment had been received and cashed on their end) sent back as is. His reply was beyond belief. He stated that since the machine was in their possession, back at the shop, it was now their property, and he would only be willing to buy it back for the original purchase price. Astounded, I asked what in the world he was talking about. I had made full payment, had Title, and it was only back there for a warranty issue. Jason then even more outlandishly said, "well legally this our machine do make that decision". I told him that "legally" he was completely WRONG (my wife is an attorney). He then commented, "well we have possession of the machine, so we will decide what WE want to do" That is technically felony THEFT! / Because Jason and the Owner Shelley, are not worth the time and effort to legally pursue, I agreed to close the deal with a full refund (which is yet to be received). If however, the refund does not show up, a criminal complaint will be filed. / So, if you're looking to buy a Yamaha Grizzly 600 w/snowplow from them, I paid $2000.00 dollars for the machine, that they are now going to jack up to at least $2800.00 (for a retail price carburetor of $100). If you want to get fleeced, you've been warned. / Additionally, if a full refund is not in hand, they will be under a felony criminal investigation.
