Brake Buddy Repair - Customer Service

About a month ago, I emailed BB at their Hopkins factory in Emporia, KS, as I would be traveling and would like my BB checked and power cord repaired.

As instructed, I called them the day before and made an appointment for 10:00 am.

Chris the BB Tech, met me in the lobby, took the BB and said it would be ready in about an hour.

An hour later, Chris returned the BB with a new power cord, cleaned and tested. Test results indicated it worked as intended. He also gave me a 12 volt socket with fuse to run from the battery to ensure proper voltage. He indicated they were providing them to customers free of charge.

I also requested a new brake-away switch as I purchased a new vehicle. Chris brought one out, and indicated NO CHARGE! Chris also replaced the foam handle backing.

I was willing and offered to pay for the service and repair as the BB is 5 years old. Chris said, not necessary.

I originally purchased the BB because of Hopkins reputation for customer service.

Confirmed, it was an excellent choice. I really enjoy doing business with great companies.

    Tornado near Pender NE

    Watch for flooding and high water, it is getting bad as you get further North.


    Been watching the weather, from Texas to Tennessee, to Kansas and heading to Pender, hopefully Tuesday.

    Guess we'll just close our eyes and point the MH north from here.:B

    Thanks for the article. Have to watch the flooding for sure. May have to head NW, if it's not doable.

    On second thought, it's doable.

    Going to see Dorothy and Toto in Wamego, today!

    Just ride the Whirlwind!
