For my $$ can't beat Bushtec.  Great product and great people.  I know others are good but imo this is simply the best.

Considering I have never spent a dime at BushTec but can give them a glowing recommendation says a lot about them.
They are the best of the best as far as I'm concerned.

Spend a dime and have them ship something to you, end up with problems and try to resove them with the owners. The have great products but the owner is an a hole to deal with if things don't go his way.

Spend a dime and have them ship something to you, end up with problems and try to resove them with the owners. The have great products but the owner is an a hole to deal with if things don't go his way.

Fortunately that wasn't my experience with the individual or the company.  After getting the used Roadstar found a couple of small issues.  Things like snap head rivets misplaced to accept the lid mounted storage bag that snaps in place or airline run in such a way it had rubbed since new.  When I called I got Preston himself on the phone.  Just be chance as different times others answered when getting different parts.

That time, however, I identified myself as a guy who'd just a bought a used trailer from an individual.  Not from them.  Told him I'd found  a couple of small issues that stemmed from time of mftr.  Then asked what the few pieces I wanted would cost.

Without asking if I was also buying a hitch or a harness or spending any other money to go along with the trailer I'd just carried home he said "don't worry about it."  They put the little pieces n the mail that day.  I had the day before just bought a hitch and harness and a few other bits to go with the trailer. But he didn't know that at the time.

I found the guy to be thoughtful, helpful, willing to engage in a conversation and answer questions with a user who might not be spending a dime with him.  He proved to be easy to work with, respectful and willing to explain things about the trailer that I didn't even know yet I would need to ask.

Clearly, you have had a bad experience with them.
You are the first I have ever heard a complaint from.
I have met the owner, the owners son and many of the employees and each and everyone was nice, helpful and courteous to me.
Many don't know, but for me they stamped, welded, drilled and painted on a trailer for me.
It wasn't a BushTec or even a trailer to go behind a bike.
And never charged me a dime.
A first class operation IMHO!

Since they make such a great product that's great to hear! Maybe I just caught him on a bad week.  :oops:
