Where for repair ?
 

I know everyone has their preference, but I would like to know a repair shop that does Outstanding, Quality work on Skidoo snowmobiles. I would like to get referrals from some of you "Long Time Sledders" who've taken their Sleds to their particular shops over the years, and have had nothing but excellent results. I am 2 years New into sledding, and have taken my 3 sleds into a couple of places. Each have done both Good & Less than good, repairs. I hope, from some of you, I can find a repair shop that will perform great Maintenance & Repair Service, and earn my trust, to be able to take it there year after year. I live in Wolfeboro.
Thank you-ultrarider

I would recommend Profile Power Sports In conway NH 603 447 5855

:D

Dasilva in Moultonboro.

Where for repair ?
 

How about any small independent repair shops?

The best advice I can give you, get a service manual and learn to do your own work. These machines are not that complicated.

If you simply have no desire to do that I would suggest hitting up the NH forum on HardcoreSledder.com if you want to rub virtual elbows with guys that are really into this stuff no better place to get that kind of information.

Remember Working on your 55 CHEVY?
 

MAXUM,
Along came the Electronics. Till then WORKING on SLEDS was like working on your 55 Chevy. It was so easy. As a mater of fact there was enough room under the HOOD you could "LIVE" in it. Today it is like putting 10lb of poop in a 5lb Bag.


After taking several Polaris Sleds to "Local" Dealers for repairs and having them come back in worse shape than when they went in, I decided to try it my self. As you recommended I did go out and get the Polaris Manuals, some aftermarket manuals, a Makuni Carb manual and some specialty tools. You name it and I could fix it back in the DAY!

Yamaha was the worst engine compartment to work on back then. Every bit of space was crammed tight. I once helped a friend try to put a Manual Fuel shutoff on his Yamaha, it did not come with one from the factory. It took over an hour on loosening and taking several things out of the way before we could get to the Fuel Line to splice in the Valve and then another hour putting everything back in place.

Try SLedNH.com for some recommendation of Sled Repair also.

Where for repair ?
 

WINNOCTURN- You are right on. The machines today are too tight, and need all sort of specialty tools, to do the job correctly. I have no problem getting my hands dirty on most things mechanical, as I've worked 22 yrs. in Fiber Optics, as a chemical equipment technician. Some things on these sleds are just too alien for me. I was just hoping to get some suggestions of who does the best quality work, in the area, from the the Long time sledders on this post. I am new to sledding, so I have not been exposed to the many years of mechanical issues dealing with these things, so I simply want to pay an experienced shop to perform the work for me.

How far you want to travel ultra? A friend of mine knows a guy in guilford.

Gilford is not too far. What do you know about this guy?

HK Laconia
 

I have two Ski Doo's and have had excellent service from HK Laconia. Probably not what your looking for but just thought I would chime in.

Sorry, just noticed your from Wolfeboro, kinda far....

This guys name is Matt, works out of his garage in Henniker, NH.
He has worked on both of my Skidoos this year, very good prices, much less than the dealer, and the dealers are usually a week or two booked out.

Yea I saw this too. Way to far from Wolfeboro

I agree it is far. I keep my sleds in Laconia. But like I said when Hk or Dasilva tells me it's going to be a week or two to even look at my sleds it's worth the drive to get my sleds fixed in a couple days for half the labor.

I'll keep his name just in case. Thanks

I have found in the area is The Cat Ranch on White Oaks Road near the Weirs.
