Top 5 Things To Look For In An RV Dealer
Now that the recession is mostly behind us many families, especially families that live in highly populated areas are looking for RV dealers that fit the bill of a decent, thoughtful and caring RV dealer. We”re finding that many people are searching for an RV dealer in Ontario hoping to find one that won’t put a whole in their pocket book and will take care of their needs right from the get go.
So I’ve posted some very important elements to look for when searching for an RV dealer – they are listed below.
#1. Greater Than Great Customer Service
Finding an RV dealer with a proven track-record of customer service is of the utmost importance. When you spend thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars you want to make sure they’re up with the times when it comes to customer service. If your RV breaks down you don’t want to have to deal with an RV dealer that was mostly interested in your money and getting you off the lot.
One way of determining an RV dealers value is by finding out if they’ve won any customer service awards or what RV dealer associations they belong to. In Ontario RV dealers can win the RV dealer of the year award or business awards related to your region such as the Best RV dealer award for an RV dealer in your area.
If any RV dealer has won awards of such a nature you should be able to see evidence of this at their dealership without a problem.
#2. Know your RV Dealer’s History
This may sound rash but it is important to know a little bit about your RV dealers history. One definitive way of finding out information about your RV dealer’s history is by searching through the Internet. If they own a blog, a Twitter account, a Tumblr account of any other type of social networking account you can easily find posts and comments from either happy or sad customers of the RV dealer in question. Take some of the information you find out about your RV dealer to heart as it could end up saving you money and heart-ache in the long run.
#3. Does Your RV Dealer Have An Extensive RV Parts & Inventory Store
Why is it important for your RV dealer to have an extensive RV parts and inventory list? Well the answer is simple. If something on your RV breaks down or requires repairs to any degree you would most likely prefer to go to the dealer you purchased your RV dealer from.
Once you’ve chosen an RV dealer to visit ask them about their RV parts and inventory store (if they have one). Determine what their hours of repairs are and also as stated above, search the Internet and find out if they have had complaints of any kind related to their services.
#4. Does Your RV Dealer Sell RVs From Quality Manufacturers?
One important facet of the typical RV dealer search is to determine if they sell RVs from some of the top quality RV manufacturers. Some of the top RV manufacturers in Canada are the following:
- Starcraft
- Forest River
- Eagle Ridge
- Keystone
…and a few more like Heartland RV, Big Horn and Big Country.
#5. Is Your RV Dealer A Member Of The RV Care Group?
The last and probably the most important factor to look for when it comes to selecting an RV dealer is whether or not they are a part of the RV Care group of RV dealers. When you travel in the RV you purchased from a member of RV Care you’ll be treated like family at any RV Care dealer from across Canada. If you have a problem or need help any RV Care dealer will give you the highest possible priority and the best service available to get you back on the road quickly and safely to enjoy your travels.
So that’s basically the simple list to go by when seeking out a decent RV dealer before you decide to purchase your RV. If you follow these five tips you will most likely have success in your future RV lifestyle and reduce the amount of stress that can be associated with large purchases of this kind.
