Partner with a Dealer
While the machine needs to fit the bill, you
also want to work with a reputable dealer.
Both the machine and the dealer’s service
capabilities need to be a perfect match for
your needs. A good dealer will be able to
partner with you, becoming your first point
of contact for maintenance, telematics, and
more. It’s important to evaluate the scope
of your project when considering a dealer.
Consider which dealers are able to support
you and your business’ needs best. Be
sure to factor in the location. For example,
regional contractors will need multi–state
support that only enterprise dealers can
provide. Vet your dealer by asking them
about telematics, dealer support, and the
different payment options they offer.
It’s the Cost that Counts
A machine is more than its price; you have
to factor in the costs that come with it.
When you’re considering a new piece of
equipment, ask yourself the actual value
of ownership. Factor in fixed costs, such
as monthly payments/insurance and
operation costs, including operator, fuel,
and maintenance. A reputable dealer will be
able to help you determine the true value of
ownership.
When you’re looking to invest in a new
piece of equipment, it’s crucial to work
with a partner who can support both you
and your business’ needs. Small Business
