Burton, MI
Terrible service. Emailed them twice trying to get a quote. Never got one. Drove an hour there to meet with a rude salesman who was not prepared for my visit. We stumbled around the yard looking for trailers that either did not meet my requirements or didn't exist.
When he quoted me a price far higher than what he had implied it would be I got up to leave. At this point he called me an ass!
Follow this up with rude emails afterwards for a well rounded bad experience.
Even IF they had better prices I would steer clear. I ended up stopping by their competitor down the road(US27) and getting a great deal on a trailer that had more than what I was looking for at a far better price.

I was trying to buy a used 2009 Legend all aluminum enclosed trailer from these guys. Saw the trailer on their website and contacted them for a price. Never did get a price as they wanted to know if I was financing because different lenders have different costs and they wanted me to get the best possible price. Told them I had $2500 down and would finance the rest and then the guy said he tried to call me all afternoon to get me financed which was a lie because my phone never rang once and still no price. Sent another e-mail to them and said I secured my own loan thru my bank and it would be a cash deal. Guy returned my e-mail and said trailer was sold. What a crock of sh*t. Called them today and talked to a different guy and he said they still had the trailer and it was never sold. Asked him for a price and the first thing he asked if I was financing and i said no and he hung up. WTF? I'd sure like to buy a trailer but I guess not from there?!
Anyone know of a place to buy a nice 7x19 trailer?

I can be assured that the same tactics are in place.. I am not writing this post to bash Becks Trailer Sales I am doing this post because I think if anyone that does the right amount of research you can dig anything up on anyone. I am writing this to show this is the main thing to watch for when buying a trailer from them.
Lets look a little further back in time like in 2005 And see what is up with Becks!
Wow I feel you Poolman the ol Bait and switch move.. what a bad way to feel after driving so far to get a Snwomobile trailer. Well only if you would have known of a better place at the time eh....ORIGINAL POST LINK

ReplyDeleteI recently had Becks experience. I was interested in a 7x14 cargo trailer. I requested quotes from their website and received AUTOMATED response that they would be back with me As Soon As Possible. But to faster serve you please call or come in...'
ReplyDeleteI found a few ADVERTICED BECKS specials on Craigslist and inquired on them... Received another automated replay DIFFERENT SALESMAN. So I finally broke down and called. Spoke with SALESMAN Scott Baker..... He quoted me a "GREAT DEAL" on a steel pace trailer. I told him I wanted to haul three ATV. His only interest was WHEN CAN YOU BE HERE... WHEN CAN YOU BE HERE. The next day I had questions, after doing some research. Told him some similar trailers I had found to what he had offered. He just replied his trailer was better. I asked him to explain........AND I GOT NOTHING IN RETURN..... I did end up driving over there to look at what they had. I met with a Salesman Dale Prochazka. Dale took his time, showed me around... VERY OUT STANDING. I did not buy a trailer and he actually told me if I had questions to call him he would be happy to help, even if I didn't buy a trailer from him. What I did learn is Dale Prochazka is the ONLY SALESMAN THAT DOES NOT WORK ON COMMISION. In short if you wish to buy a Trailer from Becks PLEASE DEAL WITH DALE, As the others salesman are only interested in TAKING YOUR MONEY, selling you something, not what your needs are....
Thanks for the comment DALE hahaha
