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?
I would bet most RV Owners know how to drain the old gas and change the oil in their generator themselves.
Bottom Line, regardless of what is wrong with it, if you choose to have someone do it for you, you can take it to the same place you take your Honda. Done with this silliness, Have a Good Day.
We serviced all brands but the people who bought from my buddies John Deere dealer were given priority over others. They are called a customer not a shopper who buys lesser products elsewhere
I agree 100%.

And besides that, when after a period of time you figured out that the first one worked just fine, you could have sold the second one at a 75% of what you paid for it "new and still in the box.
Well, There is difference between overpriced things and expensive things, An overpriced thing do charge a lot but doesn't provide any value for its extra cost while as expensive things do charge more but in return, they have some values to provide which wouldn't be available from inexpensive things, It even can be a reliability factor or peace of mind.
