New Bullfrog on order
« on: October 19, 2007, 10:44:38 am »
just called my BF dealer he ordered a 682 for himself just the way I wanted mine so he's selling his to me when it comes in next the week or so. Building it into my deck adding a 6' by 12' section of deck and 5' privacy screen on 2 sides pic's to follow when it's done.

I was thinking about building the spa into my deck, but have decided against it.  When it needs service or drained, I want to have easy access to the spa. I don't want to be crawling around on my knees under the deck to do these things.

 I am simply gonna build a second set of steps off the deck that leads to a 12X12 wooden platform that the spa will sit on.  

But many people build them into the deck and love it.

Sounds like his side career. I don't think I'd be too comfortable with the post-sale service if I had issues that I needed his attention on.

Could also be a very smart owner?? cutting down on the tub kickers waisting time and money.


Have you looked into how long the dealer been there?? what people say about them??

Sure, it'll keep the tire kickers away but it will also turn off other people who sometimes just drive over and want to walk in and not have to make an appointment. I guarantee people drive to the store with real interest, see the sign and just drive to another dealer.

This choice is based on convenience and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he has good reasons (I gotta believe its because he has a regular job too). It definitely doesn't help his business and I'm sure he farms out his service (which can be just fine) but if I'm a spa owner I want to be able to reach the dealer and be able to stop in and talk at any time.

I've been around the business a little while, it may make sense for this dealer's life in some manner but this is not a great set up for the customers.

I'm wondering how long they have been in buisness? This could be a small town where everybody just knows when there open and if the serius they call to make an apointment?

The dealer just opened the doors about 6 months ago.  Its a major city in Florida....  He opened up in a brand new shopping center, with alot of traffic.
