Big shout out to Aaron for all the help. This is my second purchase from Aaron. Bought a Sportser Custom a couple of years back. Today, got the Electra Glide Ultra Classic been wanting. Had great service, answered all questions and had me up and going down the road in no time. I am very happy with my purchase. Will definitely be coming back if I want to get a new bike. Thanks again for getting me back on the road.

Exceptional experience at this motorcycle shop! I traveled 2 hours in 40� weather to get my first bike and rode it back. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about motorcycles. They have a wide selection of bikes new and used. The service Aaron provided me was prompt, and he went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. Whether you're a seasoned rider or a beginner, this shop is for all motorcycle enthusiasts. Highly recommended!

Worked with Jon and everything went smoothly on the purchase of a 2017 Ultra Limited, They have a huge selection of bikes. I met Gordie (manager) while I was there and chatted with him for a few. I d recommend anyone looking for a bike to check them out. I had my own financing so can t speak to their options. They loaded my bike up for me and even strapped it down. Thanks again guys!!!

Easy 5 star for Aaron. Extremely easy to deal with. Put a pre approval in at 2am on the website. Arron called me at 9am, got me approved (easiest approval process of my life), sent me paperwork via email, signed everything right on the phone and bike was delivered in the exact described condition at 3pm (3 hours away might I add). Never stepped foot in the dealership Arron worked the entire deal remotely, was extremely responsive and answered all my questions like a true pro. If you re in the market see Arron.

I live in Savannah, GA but the model of Harley I wanted was here at Approved PowerSports. I was looking for a matte black Roadster 1200, and they had one with low miles. Aaron helped me through the entire process, and we both made it easy with constant communication through texting. I hired a company to ship it to me to GA, and they were their to make sure everything went smooth. Bike runs great, no huge cosmetic issues, and got the Title in the mail a week and a half after purchasing so I could register it. All-in-all, I would do business with them again.

Originally I didn't have any information here, just a one star review. Now I see what kind of people I'm dealing with, I am going to tell my experience with them. I would have not added any of this information if they hadn't blocked me on Facebook due to sharing my experience with them on Facebook.I contacted them regarding a motorcycle that was for sale. It was $3000 and looked great. I applied for financing through them and a salesman named John called me . Strangely, I was denied. I included a cosigner, and he still said I was denied. I decided I wanted to come see it and put it on layaway since I was denied for financing. I told John that I was 2 hours away and that I was on my way there to see it.First impressions of the place was that it's super ghetto. But once I got inside, I asked for John and I was told that he had left early, after I had just told him I was on my way. I figured something important came up, so I dealt with someone else. I put 30% down to put the bike on layaway, and went home.After I got home, I decided to try to get my own financing so I could get the bike sooner. I contacted my local credit union and I was approved with zero down, no problem whatsoever. It seemed strange that they couldn't approve me since it was so easy for me to find my own financing, especially given their name. I called John to tell him I needed the total out the door price so I could get the check, and that is when I found out that the dealer fees were over $1000. On a bike that only cost $3000. What a joke. They did seem to have it priced low though, so I was still considering it. Until I found out something they should have told me MUCH sooner.Apparently the bike had a salvage title which did not appear anywhere on their listing, and they let me come put it on layaway with $1000 down, and STILL didn't tell me it had a salvage title. And this is after a 4 hour round trip drive to see it. I am not buying a salvage title bike for full price, and now I see why John "couldn't" finance me. I believe he knew all along that it was a salvage title and couldn't be financed, so he tried to steer me in the layaway path to keep me from finding out until I had paid it off.When I asked for my money back, he gave me the runaround and tried to get me to buy a different bike. The bike he suggested would have cost almost as much as a brand new bike once you added on their ridiculous fees. But I was officially done with them at this point.I finally got my money back after about 3 weeks, and being told it was sent when he didn't even have the card number to send the refund to. After fighting with that for a week or two, I bought a bike from a private seller instead. I paid less than a grand more for a bike that was less than half the age, and had a quarter of the miles as theirs.Shady, scummy business that lies straight to your face and tries to sell you something without telling you extremely relevant information about it.

I dealt with Richie when buying my 2007 Big Dog Mastiff and he was a great person and honest salesman, he gave me NO BS, he was always easy to get ahold of and answered every question I had, he followed up after the sale and asked how I liked my new bike. I will definitely buy another bike or another toy from him. DEFINITELY 5 STAR SALESMAN !!!!

Second bike I ever purchased and the man that made it so simple, Aaron. I searched on the web looking at hundreds of bikes in at least 27 states, I live in Oklahoma. Then I found the one, got approved, had it delivered, now I'm rocking. Hell ya brother!!

Came all the way down from Bay City to finance a motorcycle. Aaron is the one that helped my boyfriend and I with getting a 2016 Harley Davidson XL1200V with no issues at all, the process was very simple. We already love the motorcycle and can t wait to ride. Overall, definitely a great experience :)

This companies main declaration about "Guaranteed bad credit financing" is untrue and misleading. I was denied lending on a pre qualification and when I called to ask why the website has false advertising they stated that I am unable to be qualified because I am not living in Michigan. A company that declares guaranteed financing for any credit situation ought to follow their word and be truthful. Being dishonest and misleading is not a way to conduct business.10/10 do not recommend.

Rich was a pleasure to work with. Called him in the morning to check inventory on a bike I was looking at and ready to purchase. He had the bike in my garage (75 miles away) same day. Overall process was braindead simple, I would not hesitate to work with Rich and Approval down the road for future purchases.

I have purchased 2 bikes from them besides the credit score thing (which will happen with one or 100 checks) I was always in and out within 3 hours and they even helped me get my title correct made sure my tank was full and sent me on my way. I rode there in 30� Temps and got a ride to wal mart to get cold weather gear. Sorry for all those who had a bad experience I will always get my bikes from There and can't wait till they get a sport touring honda yamaha of kawasaki

Had 2 very different experience with this place! I delt with Aaron cool guy took care of me. Found a bike online called about it he explained how it works so I filled out the online application for the credit got a call back in a few hours with good news got the bike. Drove 2 hours each way ran late due to trailer issues Aaron stayed after closing to take care of me.Second experience while my girlfriend was with while I got my bike and seen how everything went so smooth for me she found her dream bike there and was ready to get it. She called Monday spoke to someone else they told her she had to leave a non refundable deposit on the bike she wanted before they ran her credit so she did told them what bike and gave her information over the phone for the application. No call back she called at the end of the day and was told banks were busy being a Monday and they would call her tomorrow. No one called so she called around 2 or so and spoke to another person they had no idea what bike she left a deposit on and told her to apply online again wich was a no cause they already ran her credit once. I called the following day and spoke with Aaron about what was going on he said he would look into it. Got a call back a few hours later saying the bank wouldn't do that small of a loan but could get her approved for a more expensive bike. Long story short she paid for the bike outright because the option she was given didn't make sense.At the end of the day I got my bike on a Saturday and she got her bike the following Saturday and I got a check for 250 bucks for referring her to them. So many bikes!

They have a lot of inventory but you can't get to it. I would have given them negative stars if possible. My mistake was letting them rush through the paperwork and not seeing all the extra charges. Such as 1299.00 in accessories still can't get an answer on that. Vehicle preparation 322.00 freight 445.00 and documentation fee 230.00. None of this was explained. Also bike was pre certified but that must mean the motorcycle ran because the air filter was plugged and had black chunks falling off of it. This place is a complete rip off.

This is my second experience with approval powersports. I am absolutely amazed at how quickly you can go from wanting a particular bike to owning it. This company makes it happen immediately! Jon was extremely professional and helpful above and beyond. And my Street Glide will soon be in transit.

I can t talk about qualify of service or financing because we didn t get very far into the process.Disappointed when walking in with my dad and nobody acknowledged him. Literally was asking a gentleman a question and he completely ignored him and started eating fries on the sales floor.

Jon at approval got me onto the bike I wanted and pretty close to my budget. While the bike did have a mechanical issue he was very quick to get it resolved. I see a lot of bad gas about this place but I have 0 complaints. Maybe the people leaving the bad reviews didn t handle their situation respectfully

I bought my Harley Sportster 1200 XL here yesterday. The entire purchase process from the first telephone contact to yesterday's pickup of the bike ran absolutely pleasant. I reserved the bike beforehand and had a long drive. Richie made sure that on the day of my arrival everything was to my complete satisfaction and I could go straight home with the bike. I am thrilled with the service and the large selection of vehicles that are available there. I can only recommend everyone to buy their vehicle here! It was fun to buy the first Harley in my life! Thanks again especially to Richie.

So i brought a 08 Kawasaki ninja from these guys and was a little skeptical from the reviews, but after having the bike for a month now I couldn't be more happy. They even added a extra 15 days to hold the bike for me until it was paid off! and the best part of the whole purchase was literally the best sales woman I've ever dealt with Disa!!! she went above and beyond and even further to make sure this deal went as smooth as ever and even helped me with the shipping from people that wasn't from their dealer! which she didn't have to! For almost 2 weeks she stayed in contact with me and did everything she could to make sure I had my bike, even stayed late (hours)! after the dealership was closed just to make sure my bike was picked up! I'd like to personally give her 10 stars! thank you so much you were perfect!!

The amount of bikes in stock is quite incredible! It is difficult to view them all because they are so crammed in. I would definitely recommend looking at the online inventory to have in mind what you're looking for. Also, give them a call to check if they are in fact still in stock because I did have that issue. Despite that, Jim helped me find my first bike! He took the time to show me the workings and give me great advice. Im very excited and was happy with the professional help i received.

Awesome experience, tons of bikes to choose from. Chad and Andrew are very knowledgeable and made the buying experience very easy and straightforward. Took care of the insurance on-site with my insurance company. I drove 75 miles to check them out and it was well worth the drive. I highly recommend you check them out. Thanks Guys!

There are good reasons why I gave PowerSports a full 5 stars. Here s my experience: I was looking at bike from out of state (Texas). I asked Andrew to take some very specific additional pictures of various parts of the bike so I could see detail. That request was on Saturday. Andrew told me he would have the pics for me sometime Monday. By 10:15 Monday, I had an inbox full of an additional dozen pics that I requested. The price was decent, but I had not accounted for sales tax as this was going to be an out of state sale , however apparently Michigan has a tax agreement with Texas so there would be tax. That put me out of budget however, Andrew worked with me on the price, so we were still able to come to an agreement. I elected to drive up to Michigan and trailer the bike back myself. Upon arriving in Sandusky on a Sunday evening I texted Andrew to let him know of my arrival (in the snow ). He asked where I was staying in town so I informed him, due to budget reasons, I would be sleeping in my F150. Andrew instructed me to check into a specific motel, and he also paid for the room himself! That folks is great customer service. The bike looked great, as presented in the pics, so I did my paperwork and headed out of town, a happy customer. The point of this review is to tell people, all over the US, that PowerSports is a company that you can easily do business with out of state. It was a very good experience for me. Also note, I doubt many other places in the US can compete with their prices, new or used. Well done Powersports.

To start, my credit is awful, so I went with the layaway option, which is extremely hard to find for motorcycles. The fact that this is an option at all is great! I have 2 payments left until I receive my 2009 kawasaki er6n. Because of how easy my experience has been SO FAR I'm leaving 5 stars. However, I have read the reviews about people receiving their bikes underviced and in awful shape. I have high hopes my bike will arrive in great shape, serviced and run as advertised, but if I do have issues upon arrival, my review will be subject to change. So far so good though! Richie has been great, very informative and has answers to all my questions. Beyond excited to get my bike next month! For those complaining of certain fees and taxes, try getting a bike anywhere else and you'll see there will usually always be freight and handling so that is not a big deal to me. Richie gave me the exact out the door cost when I asked with no issues. Another thing, I live in AZ and the fact that they can ship it here is amazing. Thank you Approval Powersports!

If I could leave no stars I would. A friend of mine bought a $10,000.00 Harley from this store. He bought it Thursday. Went for a short ride with my husband on Saturday. On Sunday, the bike was making terrible noises when he started it up. When he called the salesperson (who he said was extremely pushy during the sales process) they didn't care and told him he was out of luck. I was also shocked to see that they didn't even TRY to detail or clean the bike before he took delivery. There was rust on some of the chrome and it needs a back tire. This place is pathetic for taking advantage of a very nice young man, who just wanted a nice bike. If you want a nice bike and good service, DO NOT buy from these people. People work hard for their money and don't need to be taken advantage of by people like this. How is this place even still in business?
