My experience at Performance Recreation was not what I was expecting heard really good reviews about them , the young guy at the front desk was very polite but when I went back to the shop to drop my ATV off I experienced a totaly different encounter was spoken to very rudely, didn't unload my ATV ,left, and dropped it off at Byres equipment where I was treated like a customer and a nuisance.I realize these are difficult times but no one who wants to give you business should be spoken to like that

We where looking at buying at buying one of the motorcycles we had seen on their website but walked in an no one seemed interested in getting us a price. We were wearing masks and noticed that nobody else was so we got out quickly. Rather bizarre experience.

Went inside to get some prices on their advertised Polaris sale. Not a single person was wearing a mask. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Great service called to get a part for a snow machine which was 25 yrs old but they had to order 10 only to sell all to the customer, which wasn't feasible. So he gave me the part number in order to speed up finding it at another source. This is top gun salesmenship. Thank you.
