Cat Dealer

Boondockercat · Apr 10, 2008

Ok, has anyone else had the same problem that I have had?? My dealer I bought my sled from has closed, I called around to find a new dealer because I need some warranty work done and I was told that "since I did not buy it from them they will not put there neck out for me on any type of warranty work".

My sled was acting like it was blown up so I wanted to have it looked at. I finally (with a little help) found a dealer that would look at it, now I here they are not going to be servicing cat sleds after the end of the year. Now what, it seams that cat is driving all the small, good dealers out of business in the Iowa area. Now I need to find a new dealer in central Iowa that wants to make money off a guy that wants to buy a few need sleds every 3 years. Rant over!!!

P.S. Any one know of any dealers worth a **** in central Iowa!!!

By the way the sled was and still is stock!!!

I would second guess this place. I was going to buy my 3rd new sled in 4 years and Zeke could care less if i bought or not. Service after the sale is bad too. Have a friend who has known Zeke since the 70's and said it does not surprise him. He has great service from him, but he knows people who have gone elsewhere. They have got wrapped up in the mass amount of sleds they sale each year and forgot how to take care of people who buy them. The local polaris shop is were I bought from and will never go back. He is taking business from Zeke. He has doubled in size since he opened.

You might get great service damdave, but I would not put Zeke on that high of a pedestal. :face-icon-small-win

I know a few CO guys that also guy from Zeke, never heard bad things about him. There's always someone hungrier out there I suppose though.

So... the polaris dealer is doing better than the cat dealer right now??

I'm sure that's not a factor of nobody wanting the cat & the pro being the hottest seller on the snow right?:face-icon-small-ton

I'm surprised cat dealers even exist. They treat them like crap, but we always said they could because they had the best sled on the market... that's SURE not the case right now.

id go either storm lake or worthington MN im from there and worked there in the past. the mechanic is very fussy and makes sure everything is perfect. they will do warranty on sleds from other dealers but you have to have a good reason. overall good guys though and try to work with you as much as possible.

If I was going to stay with cat, I would pick worthington.

Have not been there, but if I had those two to pick from and no one else I would pick Worthington.

There is 4-guys in our group that includes me, that will not buy from Zeke again. I have talked to some customers that have had the same problems as us. I live a couple hours from storm lake.

If your ever looking for parts or anything sled related try to find Brian Monier in sibley IA very knowledgeable guy and has a ton of parts for cats or knows where to get them. I know hes applied to be a dealer twice now but is having trouble finding a building far enough away from worthington or storm lake as per Cat rules.
