Has anyone ever purchased any of their 4 Wheelers that they sell.I was thinking about looking at a ATV but have heard that they are junk and that the company has been in a lot of trouble such as filing bankruptcy a couple of times and violations from the government for mis-leading the public and trying to import illegal parts and vehicles from china that don't meet safety and EPA standards.I have heard that they don't pay their bills or suppliers but get around it by changing names or re-incorporating under a different name on paper.So my question is do you think they are worth taking a chance with to purchase a ATV or will I be stuck with junk if they go out of business.They seem to qualify for government grants all the time for their businesses with the promise of new jobs for the area but I don't know if it is worth the chance with my money.

I wouldn't trust Snyder farther than I can throw him with one arm.

Snyder... is that the guy who is a preacher with a daughter named Chrissy that's always in his commercials? Talks really fast?

Yea that would be the guy.I really don't buy into the preacher image he portrays but I just wanted to know about their ATV brand because the prices are cheap.

I went to Snyders for tires once and they told me I needed $500.00 in repairs and that they would not charge me labor. I then took it to another repair shop and parts and labor was $278.00. I would never trust them.

I have never purchased anything there and have heard about the high priced repairs but was just wondering about the ATV quality.I think I will just try and save more money and buy a trusted brand from someone else.

They used to have audio equipment at good prices 15-20 years ago. Then that stopped. They also have Bulldog Security. They've been around forever.
As far as ATVs go, and I know this will sound like I am preaching, but in this area we have tons of injuries and many deaths. I don't know if that is consistent with the nationwide rate, but if these things stall or steering components break, etc, that could be part of that explanation (I work in healthcare, and I don't see all of them, but enough of the survivors). I think they skip mufflers to make them cheaper on some models. So buy the safest one you can buy, and use it to get from point a to point b and you will probably be fine riding them where they are supposed to be driven. And it won't bother me a bit as long as I can't hear it. Have fun and stay off the road, trust me, I have relatives that honestly could not see one of these vehicles on the road, yet where do I see them...on the road.
