GARMIN

[Hooligans]

My Garmin story…….

Back in 1998 I bought a street pilot3 from Garmin to us on my Motorcycle
And In my truck and car to find customers homes for estimating jobs
About 6 years later about 2004 I found out about Garmin
Reconditioning policy.. For a price of about $ 200.00 they would go though
The Unit updated the software fix any worn or worn out buttons scratch screen ect….
So I thought..Hey I bought this unit for a little over $ 700.00
Why not drop $ 200.00 get it all tuned up and Im good for a while
Now mind you there was nothing really wrong with the unit
Except for about six years of normally ware and tear
Well it was gone and back in about 14 days except there was one thing different
Garmin had sent back a brand new unit, which I used for another 6 years
With no problems. I still have the unit but have bought also a new Garmin 255W
I also bought my wife and son a Garmin 250W which we have already gotten
Two free “Map” and Unit software updates form off the Web page for free
I have also owned a Garmin 176C Chart plotter, which I have had similar luck with
And always-great service and always a person on the phone when I had to call Garmin
Well to go on further with my praise of this in my opinion Great Company
I had also bought in 2003 a Garmin 2006C Chart plotter and sounder for $2000.00
I have had this unit for 7 years with know problems at all on my boat
I was working in my boat last week and saw it was a little weathered
And showing some wear on the buttons after 7 years
I called Garmin…Got a person on the phone right away
They gave me a repair number I gave the my credit card to charge $ 290.00 to
Go over my unit and refurbish it, as needed “It was working fine and no problems”
I just received it back yesterday “A new one” this as I said a $ 2000.00 unit new
All my waypoint routs and maps all up and running in a new shinny unit
I must say I know few if any companies that support their customers as well
Or respect the integrity of there products
I will be looking forward to being there customer for a while yet

Do not work for Garmin or know anyone that dos
Just a very happy and satisfied customer sharing
The good news of a Great company
