During our 2012 – 1 day sales event, we were able to have some manufacturer representatives join us at our locations in Doraville, Duluth and Oakwood. I cornered Steve Finkner, Sr. Engineering Manager with Exmark and asked him some questions about some of the newer turf management products that are being added to the Exmark family this year.

We discussed the 30″ Stand-On Aerator, the 21″ Aerator S-Series, the 20″ Slicer Seeder, and the Stump Grinder 200. All of these products will be available to our Atlanta area and North Georgia customers this spring. Let us know if you’re interested in a demo of any of these units.

Exmark has announced some incredible deals for 2012. These are Exmark national promotions. You can check their website for others.

This particular deal is a $500 instant rebate off our sale price on Vantage Stand on Mowers.

This is a great deal that is coming around at the right time for Atlanta. The grass is greening up and our commercial landscape customers and contractors are looking at equipment needs for this upcoming season (can’t say upcoming, the weather is too nice… we’re already in the season.)

The Vantage is a great stand on mower. It offers a large operator platform and ergonomic levers. It offers a comfortable day of work with durability, reliability, ruggedness, superior traction and handling.

The UltraCut(tm) deck ensures beautiful results with each pass.

From now until May 31, 2012 you can take advantage of the $500 instant rebate. See our stores for more information. Come in and check out our great prices on this and other Exmark Lawn Equipment.

This offer can not be combined with other previously purchased promotions or support programs, such as Bid Assist/Fleet and National Account to achieve additional discounts or incentives.

Being one of the Largest STIHL dealers in the country, We are often asked why we don’t give our customers the ability to buy STIHL products online or buy STIHL Parts online. The answer is two fold.

First of all, genuine STIHL products, parts and accessories are only sold through authorized STIHL Dealers. In our opinion, this is one of the best characteristics about STIHL. They do an amazing job working with us dealers. We get the best product knowledge training, our relationship with STIHL allows our parts folks to stay on top of changes and updates on the tools, and STIHL has some of the best training programs for our service writers and mechanics.

STIHL has long decided that only selling through the committed local dealer is the way for them to do business. It is the locally owned dealer that will be able fully service the customer’s product needs.

That being said, STIHL doesn’t sell online.

We dealers don’t sell STIHL products online. We dealers don’t sell STIHL parts online. We’re not supposed to show pricing online. We’re a big family that sells an incredible product. All this makes STIHL The #1 Selling Brand of Handheld Outdoor Power Equipment in America!
