Top 5 Reasons to Buy Outdoor Power Equipment from Dealers

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Plenty of options await homeowners, landscapers or foresters who are in the market for lawn mowers, chainsaws and other equipment to keep yards and gardens immaculate.

Why choose to buy from authorized dealer? According to Husqvarna – the world's largest supplier of outdoor power equipment – a great choice is to do business with your local authorized sales and servicing dealer. 

"At Husqvarna, we only offer our complete line of products through more than 5,000 retail dealers," said Jeff Dewosky, Vice President and General Manager, Husqvarna North America. "Each is a highly-trained professional with both the passion and experience to serve the needs of any customer." 

Through interviews with its customers and dealers, Husqvarna has identified the Top 5 Reasons for conducting business with authorized dealers of outdoor power equipment:

1. Been there, done that. Many Husqvarna dealers have used outdoor power equipment in previous jobs, like former logger Charles Moore who owns and operates AG&N Agricultural Supply in Adamsville, TN. "I ran chainsaws for years, and I know what's good and what isn't," explained Moore. "I can help people figure out what they need before they buy."
2. Well trained. Dealers aren't hourly employees punching the time clock, like in some larger stores. They are well-trained, certified experts – often with hours of training under their belt. Moore, for example, and his staff have attended numerous Husqvarna classes at corporate headquarters in Charlotte and elsewhere.
3. At your service. Authorized dealers service what they sell, a significant advantage for time-sensitive customers. Most large retail stores that sell outdoor power equipment do not offer in-store warranty or other service, so items must be shipped to another facility – causing lengthy service delays. "We do the service and we stock the parts," said Jeff Gettos, who owns Sells Equipment in Woodhaven, MI. "That's important to our customers."
4. Try it, you'll like it. Do you want to fire up the engine before buying a new trimmer or lawn tractor? Dealers love to take the customer outside to conduct "show and tell" demos.
5. The price is right. Authorized dealers work with the manufacturer to offer flexible financing terms, extended warranties and instant rebates. For example, Husqvarna offers – exclusively, through its dealers – zero percent financing for 48 months on select products. "That's a real incentive for anyone, especially if you're running your own small (landscaping) business," noted Gettos.
