About us

Twenty years of getting people out there

We're a family-run dealer group, not a chain. The same technicians have been in our shop for a decade and nobody on our floor works a commission ladder.

Our story

A dealer built by people who ride

REPOSSESSED RIDES started because the founders were tired of buying machines from people who didn't use them. Everyone here rides, launches or drives something we sell, which turns out to matter enormously when you're being asked which unit is right.

Twenty years later that hasn't been diluted by scale. We've added stores and departments, but the sales floor still runs without a commission ladder, the shop still refuses to subcontract warranty work, and the parts counter is still measured on whether the part was on the shelf.

How we got here

Two decades, five turning points

2005

One store, one department

We opened selling watercraft and outboards out of a single building on Intervale Ave.

2011

The marine department opens

Lake Champlain access turned the marine side from a parts counter into a full department.

2017

Powersports goes wide

Motorcycles, quads and side-by-sides joined the floor as franchised lines rather than trade-ins.

2021

The showroom expands

More floor space let us hold real depth on watercraft and side-by-sides through the season.

Today

One shared inventory

Three stores that operate as a single stock pool, so the right unit is never at the wrong address for long.

Reviews

What customers actually say

Reviews from the sales floor, the service desk and the parts counter. We don't filter the bad ones — we just try not to earn them.

Bought a Sea-Doo here after two other dealers told me I'd be waiting until next season. Had it on a trailer in four days, rigged, registered and with the first service already booked.

Marcus D.

Sea-Doo RXT-X

The service department is the reason I keep coming back. They found a wiring fault two other shops missed and charged me for one hour of diagnostic time.

Priya R.

Service customer

No pressure, no commission games. The salesman actually talked me out of the bigger machine and into the right one. Second unit I've bought from them.

Tony V.

Polaris RANGER

First bike, and I was nervous about the whole thing. They sized me properly, walked me through the controls in the lot and never once made me feel like I was wasting their time.

Danielle W.

Kawasaki Ninja 650

Financing was the part I dreaded and it took about twenty minutes. They laid out three options with the real numbers on each, including the one that cost them the most.

Owen McB.

Can-Am Outlander 850

Parts counter knew the part number off the top of his head from a description of the noise. Ordered Tuesday, fitted Thursday. That is rarer than it should be.

Rosa N.

Parts & accessories

Traded a golf cart in and the number they quoted was the number I got. No renegotiating once the paperwork appeared, which is why I'll be back.

Gerald P.

E-Z-GO trade-in

Winter storage prep on the boat was thorough and they sent photos when it was done. Picked it up in spring and it started first turn.

Careers

We're usually hiring technicians

If you're factory-trained on any line we carry — or you're a good diagnostic tech who wants to be — we'd rather hear from you before we advertise.
