Dealer Kubota dealer turns ugly.

And before someone asks. I use my truck to pull my montana tractor when I need to take it someplace. That is how this story ties in with tractors and how you use them.

No problem. Welcome, Friend.

I have purchased 7 Kubota's over the past six years from four different Dealers. Believe me they all get ugly when you start talking Internet pricing.
Am I running out of dealers? Naaa Naa... Na....not as long as there's Internet and Dealers willing to cross territorial lines.

Well, yeah, I do. If there's no customers in right now, how about walking over to the literature rack, and READING them? That's what your customers are doing. How about visiting the Deere dealer? That's what your sutomers are doing. And how about checking out TBN? That's what your customers are doing. Spend some time in the service dept. Get the low down on issues. How is it that a customer can come in with an internal Kubota service bulletin, and yet some salesmen never heard of it, or worse, call BS?

Fact is, the good salesmen hope the bad ones never change. I just wish the good ones were closer...

Excellent post Riptide. I couldn't agree with you more.

When I bought my L2800, I ask the saleman about upgrading the air filter on the tractor to a duel filter system. He informed me that there 's no upgrade air filter for these tractors. I said I guess the literature that Kubota put out must have made a misprint because it states in it that it was available. The salesman went back to the parts department and came out with the inner filter for my tractor. I didn't even learn about that on the net, but by simply reading the literature that was hanging on the wall in the show room.

Thanks for all the replies. I've decided to write off that dealer and move on. Anyone who takes my money and treats me like that is not worth my time.

Well after this many posts, I sure am glad you arrived at that conclusion, or else we might've had to write you off
I would still write a letter to the manager or owner, letting them know you were moving on, and why. I'm guessing the head honcho has no idea what transpired but wouldn't condone it if he did. Maybe that salespr!ck would get a much-needed attitude adjustment, and no other good customers would have to endure the bad feelings that you have. There could be a positive outcome for you also, if they really bend over backwards to earn your forgiveness and your future business. I guess I'm saying don't throw the baby out with the bathwater - if you could remove that one idiot from the equation, perhaps that dealership still has a number of redeeming qualities for you?

You know, that's a smart post.

If one has the time and inclination to try and fix something, you can save someone else the headache.

It's a hard choice though.....
