Does anyone have any experience with Revolos for an extended warranty? Has anyone heard of them or known someone to use them? Dealership offers both as an option so I'm trying to decide which one to use. I know BEST is BRP but Revolos offers longer terms...
Check the BBB for some info on Revolos.
Hopefully you won't need either but myself I went with the Best from BRP.
Not sure what your dealer quoted you but it can be purchased for around $700.
Call Thomas Palmer at iMotorsports if your dealer wants more than that.
Let me add ... the BEST warranty can be bought from ANY dealer and be used at ANY dealership .... $ 700.00 is about the best price around now ..... I've never heard of Revolos .... If you decide the Revolos is OK .....READ ALL THE FINE PRINT .... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:Quote:

Yes, I have looked at BBB. I am not sure it tells me a lot though. People that report on a company are only ones that are not happy with them. Not sure it gives an accurate picture as I do not know how many have been satisfied with their product...
If they were a great company then there would a lot of positive feedback to go along with the negative ones. So I would beware of them. MY 2 cents.
Along with BBB look at their ratings on Trustpilot.com (1.6 out of 5).

BRP is not going anywhere and while it sometimes might be difficult to get things done, your extended warranty will be valid until the last day of the contract.
I bought a F3T from them in February, added the warranty & put one on my 22 RTL as well, $671.00 is what I paid for each.
After reading through this thread again, I dug out the paperwork for my Spyder.
None of my paperwork has the name Revolos on it!
I did pay extra for a "Platinum Pit Pass Agreement", that has a lot of information starting with "Per the manufacturer factory scheduled maintenance time/mileage intervals..." and specifically lists "engine oi, oil filter, spark plugs, air/gas filters, differential fluid, etc" including all inspections for 36 months. While having all the maintenance costs covered is nice, the main reason I agreed to pay for it was the priority scheduling of the service. The dealer does not accept service appointments, so you have to bring your bike to their shop and leave it with them until they can get to it. The agreement stipulates that my bike will get "priority scheduling" for all services, which was described as moving to the top of the waiting list when I drop off the bike for service.
I also paid extra for 36 months of tire and wheel protection, which covers repair or replacement of a damaged wheel or tire, and includes towing reimbursement.
And I also paid for 36 months of comprehensive service coverage, which from the list of covered items is comparable to a "bumper to bumper" warranty for a vehicle.
Yeah, and there is a downside. Of course there's a downside. :D
The downside is I have to take it to one of the locations of the business I bought it from, the most convenient of which is where I bought it, which is about 80 miles from where I live. Which is why I also bought a Stinger trailer for a Can-Am Spyder. I'm still waiting for the trailer to be delivered, as there are no licensed Stinger dealers in Tennessee.
Just do not forget, dealer sold warranties are the highest percentage wise dealer profit centers. A manufacturer's warranty has just as high a profit for the dealer. Shop around for the most acceptable price to you. The Best warranty from BRP is the best warranty for the Can Am Spyder's and can be used at any official Spyder/Ryker dealership. The Best warranty can be purchased from any official Spyder dealer. Imotorsports is one of the dealers that has an excellent price for the Best Warranty.
Bought from Thomas 1 week ago. $671 as long as you are a member of this board. fast and almost painless
If your Spyder is eligible for the BEST warranty, then I cannot understand why you would look at anything else?? The BEST is just what its name says, The BEST Warranty! It is honored at any dealership and can be transferred to any buyer if you decide to sell your ride, a great selling feature.
I would only consider an aftermarket warranty if I wasn't eligible to get the BEST warranty. When I bought my 2012 in 2015, since the factory warranty had expired, I wasn't eligible for the BEST warranty, so I bought one from Zurich, and while it was much more expensive than the BEST, it ended up paying for itself. Another point, the BEST warranty can be bought at any time before the factory warranty expires. Go with the BEST; and get it from iMotorsports if your dealer won't match the price!
Revolos offers better coverage of repairs than BEST. BEST is more universally accepted. If you live local to the dealership you purchased from and plan to have your service work performed by them you should be fine. If you travel greater distances for service or pleasure you might be out of luck. BRP Dealers Service Department Managers aren’t very flexible in making a phone call for repair reimbursement. They can be down right rude about it.
That was very helpful Woodenfish. I live close to 3 dealerships actually. I have read some reviews about Revolos finding ways to get out of paying. Not sure, but that sounds just about like all warranty companies. I can't really find many reviews for BEST. Revolos has longer terms and I like that.
What good is better coverage of repairs if the servicing dealer is unwilling to work with Revolo's ? Have you inquired with your area Spyder service centers to see if they work with Revolo's ? What about if you travel? I'd rather have the BRP B.E.S.T. warranty, especially if service managers are unwilling to help. A call to BRP would be easier to resolve when using their own policy. Just my .02
Most of the revues for BEST are hidden in the pages of the site. If you do decide to go with BEST, make sure you check out the price. The price varies from $1500 down to $700. The price is a "add on" supplied by the dealer and the price you will be quoted depends on the "greed" of the dealer. iMoto is one dealer you can purchase from for $700. BEST is honored by ALL authorized Spyder dealers and most that have had to actually use the warranty are pleased with the results. There have been very FEW that have complained about BEST warranty service. :bowdown:Quote:

Kind of blows but that is the way it is.
However at that point, if you are still riding that Spyder and want to continue to ride it, you can then look at an aftermarket warranty and get whatever they will sell you and if the price seems good to you.Quote:
