Great 2022 Polaris snowmobiles. I heard they needed a new parts guy. But had two at the counter.
Very awesome people work at this location. Very knowledgeable even about brands that they dont carry.
They were decent and courteous...good bunch of people.
After waiting 3 weeks for an appointment with service I dropped the boat off a day early. I called the day of appointment and was told yes it was the next one up but it was getting late so fine Ill wait an pick up next day. No Problem I was told. When I called that afternoon was told the same thing its next. Called again at 430p was told just finishing up another and I was next told them I need it today No Problem again. So at 545pm I stopped to pick it up. They hadnt even looked at it and said now itll be next Tuesday. One lie after another. Welcome to Power Lodge brainerd.
Had a bad experience last week at the Brainerd Powerlodge. I called them on 9/14/21 to schedule a routine service appointment for my 2013 Polaris Ranger which I bought new at Powerlodge. Even though I live 30 miles away, I thought I’d get better service where I bought it. I was wrong.I wanted to get the service done before the opening of the Minnesota duck season since we use the machine to traverse a 2 mile long, muddy cart path to reach our duck shack. On 9/14 I was told that 9/24 was the earliest open appointment available. I told them this would work for me if I could get it in right at 9, and have it done by 11 am, since the duck season opened at sunrise 9/25. I was told that would work for them as well.So I trailered the Ranger from the farm near the duck shack where we keep it, a distance of 140 miles, a couple of days prior, and brought it to Powerlodge at 8:50 am on 9/24. I spoke with 2 mechanics who I reminded about the quick turnaround promised.I then left to go to the Chevy dealer for a minor repair on my suburban, which I had also scheduled that morning. The suburban was fixed promptly, and I returned to Powerlodge at 11:20. One of the service managers told me they hadn’t started on it yet. I reminded him of their promise and was told “he” was tied up on another repair which had carried over from the night before. Apparently “he” is the only mechanic capable of doing routine service to a Polaris Ranger. More likely however, as reflected in several other reviews, the Powerlodge service department lacks adequate management and supervision. No one tells the mechanics what commitments have been made to customers, or what the priorities are for the day.I told him to forget it and to get my Ranger. I had to leave because I was meeting my hunting partners out in western Minnesota at 3 PM, and we had to use the Ranger to get us and our equipment to our duck shack that afternoon and evening. It then took the service desk almost 20 minutes get ahold of someone to get my machine.No apology, no offer or attempt to make things right. Just a blank stare rom the service desk. So I had to haul the Ranger home again after the weekend, and now have an appointment locally to get the work done this week. Bottom line; Powerlodge permanently lost another customer, who will share his poor experience with anyone who might ask about the Powerlodge, or ATV or marine service and sales in general.
It only took a matter of a couple hours for these guys to diagnose what ranger and Frankies marine couldnt do in 4 1/2months, cant say enough about this place, they have the best costomer relationship in mind i recomend this place to anyone who own watercraft.
Isaac Fuhrman at the Brainerd location was the best! He took my call and didnt treat me as if I didnt know what I was looking for when I called needing an adapter for my trolling motor to my Helix! He was nice, professional and courteous and didnt even fuss when I requested he tell me the model number so that I could be sure they had the specific part I was looking for! (as the shops I contacted prior, told me yeah I have the part when in fact they did not! I do know what I was talking about!) Thank you Power Lodge and thank you Isaac!
Denny the Parts manager is awesome. We rented 4 snowmobiles and gear. He made sure we had everything we needed for the -19° weather. Highly recommend doing any kind of business with these guys.
Great crew. Sold me good toy. Much satisfying
Helpful folks and had what I needed will be back.
I love my wheeler people are very nice
5 Stars! Highly recommend!! I recently bought a used Polaris Slingshot from Cory at Power Lodge. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the product, and promptly sent me extra pictures and information I had asked for. He even helped me out when I had a question on his day off. Power Lodge’s price was more than fair, the machine was very well represented, and even though I live over 300 miles away, I made the purchase over the phone and picked up the slingshot the following day. It was worth the trip! I also talked with Tom, the owner, while at the store. I had put a deposit down on the Slingshot and was already on my way to pick it up when they realized they had made a mistake when pricing the Slingshot online (A computer error had marked the online price too low). Even though there was a mistake, and they probably lost money on the sale, Tom honored the price we agreed upon. I don’t know of many other businesses who would have done this! You could not ask for more honest or trustworthy people than Tom, Cory, and the guys at Power Lodge! I highly recommend doing business here. I will not hesitate to make the 300 mile trip to Power Lodge again in the future for any of my powersports needs!
Biff at the Power Lodge was extremely helpful finding me a snowmobile helmet that was right for me. I know now I can trust the Power Lodge to look out for my best interests in the future thanks to his great customer service...
We bought a Polaris Ranger Northstar in July. We were told it would take a couple of weeks to get and it came right on time. Our Salesman, Kirk, was knowledgeable and what he didn’t know he found the answers for us. As of today we have 1900 miles on the Ranger and it runs great!
I bought a new 2017 Lund in 2017 from this dealer. I think it was around 25K. I decided this week to trade it back in to them and get something different. I went to Power Lodge with my boat and trailer and was told they would give me 6K. They said it was because of dock scratches to one side of the boat. I decided to go to the Tracker dealer across the highway to see what they had to say. I was offered $11,500.00 from them. I thought that when you buy a car or boat from a dealer and trade it back to the same dealer to buy another new unit, they were the ones that were suppose to give you the best deal. Thats obviously not the case. I usually leave only positive reviews but I want to make sure people know to price check these guys when doing a trade-in. Ive gone to them many times in the past but keep getting the same level of customer service. Even when I call in, they usually dont return my calls. I will never set foot in this establishment again. Buyer Beware!
Selection has diminished . Could not find what we were looking for
I highly recommend for sales and service, we went in for snowmobile helmets, they had a great selection were very helpful but not in your face or pushy.
Its a great building and has what I needed. Give it 4 stars .
Just walked in to the Brainerd Power sports store planning on ordering a new atv and possibly a new personal water craft. I walked in there were several sales people on the floor. One was busy with a customer, another was on the phone and another was reading a magazine. I walked around for a good 15 mins and no one said hi or we will be right with you. $10,000 to $20,000 just walked out your door. I will go to another dealer to full-fill my orders.
I have worked and lived to get to the point where I can order my first new ANYTHING! My cousin bought a boat from Cory at Power Lodge. He had such a good experience, I thought Id give them a shot. Did LOTS of emails to Cory. He responded to EVERY single stupid little question I had. I am absolutly over the moon for how they handled everything so far! Cory is very personable and knows the products. I can not wait for my boat to come in......
Friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with staff. Parts, services and new toy purchases I’ve been very happy.
The guys are great! Very friendly and helpful!
Friendly knowledgeable staff made a great buying experience.
Power lodge is my new go to powersports dealer! Corey the salesman was great to work with. After giving me a fair value for my trade i decided to purchase a 2020 ranger 1000! After realizing Id need to ride the machine 22 miles home, they even loaned me a trailer to get it home! Hands down 6 stars
Let me preface my review first, I am a huge fan of shopping local and buying local. I actually bought my four wheeler here and it was a great experience at that time. I was at first excited to keep my dollars with this local dealership. Unfortunately my salesman from then is no longer here. I called power Lodge today at about 11 AM or so to see if they had any boats similar to what I was looking for. They happened to have the exact type model make and length that I wanted and it hadn’t hit their website yet. I made it to the dealership by 12:50....After talking with the salesman for a short while on the phone I took off from work and had my wife take off as well to come and look at this because we knew it was going to go fast. Come to find out after deciding that it was the boat for us and spending some time at the dealership, that they had already taken a deposit on it last Friday! This review is being written on a Wednesday. They had not heard from that buyer since last Friday and still gave that person preference over somebody who was ready, willing, and able to buy it today. The salesman who was working with those buyers didn’t even realize it! Talk about just being a number to a salesman... I can understand if one salesman didn’t realize that another salesman had already sold the boat earlier that day or something but the fact that they took a deposit four days ago and didn’t even realize it until after we tried to put a deposit on the boat.We don’t lightly make decisions but we knew this was the perfect out for our family. I’ve been looking off and on for the past six months or so. I was at the dealership two hours after I called them and they didn’t even realize that they had already sold the boat. Extremely poor experience this go around. I wish I had written a good review from my first experience there but here we are.I am not a fan of leaving poor reviews at all but I also believe they can help consumers make good buying decisions down the road. I literally had the boat of my dreams in front of me, ripped away because these guys didn’t know what they were doing.
For anyone in the lakes area looking at purchasing any recreational vehicle I must insist on coming in to Power Lodge here in Brainerd!!!The entire staff is amazing and very helpful, no matter what the question is, they will have an answer. I want to give a huge shout out and thank you to Todd down here. He was amazing working with me and getting me into a sled this season. I would recommend anyone in the area looking at recreational vehicles to go see my man Todd. Thanks again Power Lodge!!!
Power lodge is the only place that I will bring my boat. I live over 2 hours away and continually had bad service experiences at other service shops. Ive been bringing my boats here for the last 3 years and have been 100% satisfied every time. (And Im pretty picky)
I had the thumb throttle break off of my 2020 Sportsman 450 while at the cabin. I bought the machine from Chopper City in Fridley where we get all our off road machines and service them as I know the owner personally, but was at the cabin so I had to find a closer option to get this warranty work done.I called Powerlodge the next morning when they opened and everyone I talked to was very polite and accommodating. They told me we could just bring in a picture of the mileage and get the part instead of having to haul the machine in.Upon arrival, we were greeted immediately when we walked in. The dealership was very clean and well laid out. Issac in parts already had the part waiting for me at the service desk when we arrived. I only had the broken thumb piece on me and not the whole assembly, so Mike in warranty service went in back and disassembled the part and gave me the only part I really needed, instead of me having to drive back 45 minutes to pull the whole assembly off and then drive back to the Powerlodge. I even received a follow up phone call a couple hours later from Issac checking to make sure I got what I needed.As a General Manager of a motorcycle dealer in the cities, I was very impressed with the operation all around. I have found my cabin dealer and do not see myself going anywhere else for my up north off road needs. Thank you Issac, Mike and Powerlodge for a great experience. I will be back.
Its an OK place to get gear or parts if you have a Polaris.......Lol.
I was looking for a Lund boat, most of the dealers were not budging at all on the price, in fact they were marking it up beyond what the manufacturer suggests. I was grateful to find Kirk and get a deal done. Lund came through with the boat very quickly even with covid being an issue. All was as ordered and the quality of the boat as well as the sales experience were exceptional. I drove 8 hours from Illinois just to have a good experience and a fair price, I found both at Power Lodge, Brainerd.
My wife and I stopped in after shopper other local pontoon dealerships. We were so impressed with Jake Hughes and Jon in sales we immediately made a purchase of a pontoon and lift. We are ecstatic about the professional and courteous service. I highly recommend this dealership for your recreational power sports needs.
If you want to be treated like family,Go see Ike and the boys. Even the janitor is as friendly as if he owns the place.Ive shopped at other stores, but always end up back at the Lodge.Call me a repeat customerDon L
Fantastic service and they borrowed us a trailer and straps to get a Ranger home!!
Had a new graph installed - good prices and service.
Absolutely awesome! They have the kindest, knowledgeable crew & helped us make my husbands dream boat- 2019 1875 Pro Guide a reality. Nathan is fantastic and I would definitely refer anyone to work with him. he knows his stuff!!
Friendly and excellent service, cannot get any better and they can get just about anything that needed.
Fun to look. Jadon was very helpful. In the end I bought a Honda, but If Im looking for a Polaris, its the place to go.
Very helpful! Austin, our sales guy, was great! Great price, great sales staff, and very helpful with every step of our purchase. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Easy to work with and honest..They help us with the best price and obtained finance for our purchase. We highly recommend Power Lodge. ..
Great service. Sales and service worked together to put a great golf cart together for me. Nathan did a amazing job going above and beyond. Only issue was their internal system for pricing. Took them over an hour to get pricing right.
What a great experience! Great service and they were incredibly competitive with pricing!!! Love the Power Lodge!!
Had a great experience with Kirk this was our first boat. And it went very smooth. The other sales men were very helpful to when Kirk couldnt be there the other guys were very willing to step. Very pleased with the people at the power lodge
Tyler is very accommodating and professional. He went above and beyond in our customer service experience. We love Tyler! I would also like to mention that all of the Power Lodge staff has been great to work with. Jake, the sales manager, Jim, in service, and Zeb, in parts, have all made our experience very pleasurable.
Highly recommend doing business with the guys at Power Lodge! Very honest and fair!
Incredible service. No pressure. Good advice. Offered solutions to save money/fix easily at home. Spent lots of time with me. Highly motivated to continue doing business with Power Lodge.
Decent service, lots of selection
I bought a new trailer from these guys. I had been in looking at them a couple weeks earlier, and was on and looking other places as well without having made a decision. The salesman called me out of the blue and asked me if I was still interested. I appreciated the follow-up and decided to go back and purchase. Easy to do business with, would highly recommend them.
Very unfriendly people working in the service department!!
I had a mishap and lost stops and transport locks for outboard motor when on vacation. I called them, stopped in and picked up exactly what I needed. Very knowledgeable parts people, and where very professional. I was in and out of there with what I needed in 5 minutes. Ill return to that dealership.
Gunnar did an EXCELLENT job helping us with Snowmobile rentals and also being our guide on the trails, highly recommend!
Perfect for last second helmet purchases! Arrived as they were closing up and was still given top service. I had my helmet and was on the track within 15 mins of having one picked up.
Friendly service, had what we were looking for!
I purchased a new Lund 1875 Pro Guide from Kirk Loge at the Power Lodge and couldnt be happier. Everything arrived as ordered and even earlier than expected. Great service before and after the sale. Professional service from a professional outfit.
I stopped in twice this week to have two different boats looked at. Both times the sales and service staff went out of their way to help me. The Marine tech took the time to explain my motor print out and put it in terms I could understand. Great job guys.
Had to stop for spark plugs pn the way up North... they had what I needed .
I stopped by Friday afternoon to pick up a part for my sled. The power was out in the store because of the snow storm and they couldnt access their computers, but they were still able to get my part to me. They really went the extra mile to make sure I could be out on my snowmobile asap. Great service! Thanks!
“Excellent service, very quick turn around time on fixing my machine. The guys in the parts department were very helpful as I need oil for my next service interval. Two Thumbs up”
This is the best dealership in the Brainerd area, the staff members are very welcoming and helpful. I had a great experience with purchasing my new snowmobile here, they even included an OEM cover that fits perfectly and a Skinz trail bag. I will definitely continue coming here for all my powersports needs.
“Kirk is very knowledgeable about Lund boats and motors. My wife and I appreciated the amount of time he spent answering our questions. Also, he indicated he would call us with additional information...and he did! Great experience; great customer service!”
Kirk knows his ATVs and was awesome at checking current inventory to see what was still crated up in the yard. Prices were as good or better than other dealers that were at least an hour or more away. I would definitely call Kirk the next time Im shopping for a machine.
The Power Lodge in Brainerd, told me exactly what the issues were with my damage sled, provided a repair cost and completion date. The Power Lodge was able to complete the work earlier than plan and the sled handles great again. Thanks
Everything went great! Ty was very helpful, answering all my questions. Everyone was friendly and respectful. Im looking forward to doing business in the future!
“I moved to Northern MN recently, so this is my first visit to The Power Lodge. I apologize for not getting the employees name. He was very helpful, ordering my part. Validated with me to make sure it was the correct part. I wont receive it for awhile, but the ordering process was great. Looking forward to getting the part and continuing my relationship with your company.
Over a month ago I purchased a new 2020 Polaris RZR Turbo from the Power Lodge, Brainerd. The customer service I received from all the staff was outstanding. Tim Simondet, General Manager, was so professional and friendly to work, putting my purchasing interests first and foremost. Nathan Hughes, Sales, worked hard to initiate a great trade-in value for my 2017 Polaris ATV, and he ultimately presented me with a very attractive final net price for the RZR. I had a number of accessories installed as well purchased a number of accessories from Biff in Parts that I planned on installing myself. Biff is so knowledgeable and was great to work with...really went the extra mile to serve my accessory needs. I needed a new trailer to haul the new RZR, so Tim and Nathan sharpened their pencils and gave me a price close to their cost, and I purchased it. In summary, a Gold Star purchasing experience at Power Lodge and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for friendly and customer-focused service! A big Thank You to the team (Staff & Management) at the Power Lodge, Brainerd!
“Employee - Pat Buller (not in the list above!) Good service - had 1 part I needed and ordered the other - just got a call that part is in and ready for pickup. Thanks for the good followup!
Great experience. the gentleman that waited on me was more then a little help. he went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed and ordered. He had paper work to do but made sure I was helped and happy with what I needed. He even stayed late to help me out so I did not have to drive another 60 miles to come back. Thank you so much Cindy D PS He even answered all my questions and did not make me feel dumb for asking them.
“Excellent experience, very informative. Picked up my unit on the way up north. Everything was loaded and ready to go, staff was very helpful. Follow up call was greatly appreciated.”
Tom has been a joy to work with during both of our purchases with Power Lodge. He is been very fair to work with and overly accessible to get in touch with. I have been highly impressed with his interpersonal skills as well as his extensive knowledge of the product lines.
Great dealership! Thanks way better than Brainerds old Polaris dealer.
Dealing with Nathan made my dreamboat come true an 1875 pro guide black and silver love it
Enjoyed my purchase and Dustin! 1 suggestion, move the printer to or get one for sales. Sales had to run back 3 to 4 times to get copies.
Ive dealt with em all in central mn. Power Lodge does it best. Tyler and the parts guys know these machines and the accessories. Whether a rook or vet these guys will get ya set!
Recently it’s gotten a lot better! Had a few rough experiences when that had the old sales guys there, but now we frequent them quite often for parts and accessories! They have a good selection of ATV’s and SxS
Had the parts I needed in stock. Very friendly service. I would highly recommend them!
Worked with my time constraints for drop-off and pick-up. Gave me idea of costs before work was completed. Walked me through invoice and work that was completed. NO surprises! FRIENDLY and helpful!
“Thanks for accommodating me on an order of my boat seat pedestal. It wasnt going to arrive in time for my trip to Canada and you switched one out from a boat in stock. Saved my day!!!”
Very friendly parts department.
Impressive customer service. My parents bought a new Pontoon from Power Lodge. All of a sudden, on the busiest weekend of the year, pontoon will not start. We called first thing on Saturday morning to try and somehow get the pontoon fixed, assuming they would say sorry we are too busy, bring it in next week. Instead they said we will be at your cabin in a few hours to fix your boat. A few hour later one of the main guys from Power Lodge showed up at our cabin and had the boat fixed in an hour or so. Power Lodge goes the extra mile to take care of their customers.
Great place very happy with the work they did on my boat!!
I ordered a part on Monday, came back to pick it up Friday. Did not have the part, supplier problem I was not happy, Tom the owner got involved, had the service man remove the part from a new unit and I was on my way.Im from Iowa 480 miles from his business. Could have just a esally said, sorry, it simply didnt come in.That is the mark of a truly good man.Tom thinks my name is Larry because that is the name on my ticket. Its Lee Crook.I think local people should consider this business, hell I may drive up and buy a ATV from him.
It got all my parts orderd seamlessly
Great product knowledge.Solid knowledge of local and state regs.Fast, Friendly and willing to make it happen.
We delivered there so dont know a whole lot but seemed to be very nice helpful people 😀
Great staff and huge inventory with lots to select from.
“I had a great experience dealing with Kirk at the Power Lodge when purchasing my new Ranger 570. He did a great job explaining things and he helped me understand the ins and outs of the machine.”
Great place very friendly atmosphere and willing to work on deals with4 wheels bought 2 new one thanks guys
Personalized service. Prompt. Responded to all questions in timely fashion.
Majority of the staff ignored potential customers but when I talked to my salesman he was professional and informative. Definitely would go back.
“I have purchased 4 new Polaris ATVs from Power Lodge at their Brainerd location and have dealt with Kirk as my Sales Professional on every on of them and I can tell you he is knowledgeable and and courteous and does everything possible to get his customers what they want you cant as for the other staff here such as Ian at the parts and accessories counter or Ryan back in the Service Department you wont find a better Dealership anywhere in MN
The Power lodge staff are just awesome! They had the atvs done when promised. The staff members were all very friendly and very knowledgeable about power sports. They reviewed with us what they did to the atvs and answered all our questions. Atvs were clean and ready to go when we got there. We wouldnt think of taking our business for power sports anywhere else. Whether buying or repairing Power Lodge is the best!
Nice place. Very helpful people
We are return customers and Kirk was our sales person. He knows his products and was very easy to work with.
Worst experience I have ever had as a consumer. Communication is horrible, professionallism is none exsistant, employee turnover is high which would leed me to believe management is insufficient. Issues started at purchase and continue to get worse through warranty issues. Dropped off my new boat in November for warranty issues and picked it up in April in worse condition than I dropped it off. Buyer beware.
Very easy to work with. Good communication and would suggest anyone who wants a Polaris ATV or UTV to check out Power Lodge.
Great staff and service at Brainerd Power Lodge - They are professional and value the customers time to get you the right product and take care of you in a fast and friendly way
“Very happy with my overall experience and the machine... looking forward to adding accessaries in a few months”
