The true mark of a quality company or organization is what do they do when something goes wrong.
My husband and I live in Reno, NV. We stopped by and got to know Jason on several occasions where we admired, drove and considered the smaller but awesome Winnebago but finally decided it was too underpowered to pull our Jeep Unlimited (4 door) safely.
So, we kept researching and looking. Our searches took us to Southern California where some of the dealers there have the same products, at sometimes a huge savings. Northern California also had many dealers where we could of saved some hard earned cash. However, we ultimately came back to Western Skies RV where we felt buying local would save money in the long run by not needing to travel far for service when anything goes "wrong" with our purchase. And, if you've ever owned an RV, any RV, something WILL go wrong with your "rig".
After much consideration, we saw the perfect RV on Western Skies RV website. Jason had moved over to the parts department so we worked with Daniel in Sales. We drove the unit and decided to "pull the trigger" and sat down with Daniel, who ultimately had Austin (the owners son) come in while we negotiated and finalized our agreement to purchase this RV. Mind you, we saw the same model on a Southern California lot at a better price, but add up the cost of travel, purchase and needing after sales attention, and you are not really saving all that much. Plus, Daniel was easy to work with and Austin is very reasonable and professional.
We decided to go with a Coachman Freelander 29KB motor home with a E450 Chassis. It's not the most expensive type of class C out there, but well known brand with the best layout we've ever seen. For us semi-retired folks, who are NOT hard on things, this Class C should be perfect for our adventures for the next several years. We're pretty excited.
During our delivery, we met with Dustin, one of their delivery Techs. He took his time introducing us to our new rig. Dustin answered all our questions and never seemed annoyed with our questions. This is a very professional young man, one that I'm sure Wester Skies is proud to have on staff. During the introduction, we'd noticed a few things that either were missing compared to the "build sheet" or things that needed repair. Dustin wrote down and actually addressed what he could while we met with our finance guy, Scott.
I'd been speaking with Scott over the phone since the day we decided to buy the rig regarding interest rates. (You normally have a few days after deciding to purchase and picking up your RV because they have to get the unit ready). Our credit is very good so we were able to find greater rates than what we'd discussed on our initial meeting. When I'd mentioned this to Scott, he went to work to find even better rates than we found, we saved money by Scotts connections with lenders which we appreciate. Thank you Scott!
After getting the new RV home, we'd noticed additional things that we had not noticed at the time we picked up the rig, in additions to missing things that we noticed on the day of our delivery. I contacted Scott, who shifted me over to Sabrina. Sabrina, what an awesome young lady to work with. She has gone out of her way to contact the rep from Coachmen to ensure everything is repaired/replaced/installed on our the RV. She said if the manufacture does not make it right, that Western Skies will be sure to take care of us. Now, I assure you, that could not and would not have happened if we'd of purchased 400 miles from home. It would have been "out of site, out of mind' and we'd of had a battle on our hands.
Sorry I got so long winded here, but the after sale for us is as important as the unit itself. It was our pleasure to work with everyone we met at Western Skies. No stress, that's the way we like it. read more
