Where are people taking Champions for service?
Funny even Honda the most reputable name in generators requires service. They have an extensive service network available.
I agree Champions are a decent product with a stellar reputation but they will require service. The question is where can you take them?
When I was working and a storm developed we could have 40 generators come in and you might see one or two Honda. Like any of them the Hondas could have stale fuel or a bad fuel line etc. Some people bring them in just to have maintenance service.
No product is perfect but Hondas had the least problems and there is a walk in dealer network when you do need it. Some people dont work on any of this stuff themselves. They bring in the generator every year to have it serviced even if they haven't used it. They bring in their lawn mower in the spring and bring it back in the fall when they are done with it and also bring their snowblower. Many people are not diy so they want a product with dealer service.
Champion wasn't as common at the time but Generac was and they were the laughing stock of the shop. You will see old Hondas for sale that are still worth something and parts are still available but not much with others. Hondas biggest problem seems to be that it's the one that is a favorite for being stolen. I bet those dirt bags dont sit around and ooh and aah about snatching them a Champion tonight.
If a person does want to take their Champion in for whatever reason, where do they take it?
